Hello, Josephine Surer here writing about Orientation. I really enjoyed this story because of the style in which it was written. Unlike usual stories where everything is described in a narrative style focusing on one person’s life, Orientation was laid out in the first person view but described the lives of all the other characters. Throughout the whole story, the first person described all these character’s backgrounds to another person, which explains why the majority of all the sentences start and end with “you”.

What I also liked about this story was the amount of information we got about the characters. The narrator didn’t not sum up their whole lives, instead he pointed out one trait followed by a story that gave the reader a general impression of them. This also indicates the off-putting environment the office undergoes.
