I feel like this one may be a bit of a reach, but I find that the word "frozen" can have a very different meaning. I very much interpret this monologue as May is a ghost recounting old events or memories. In that, I feel like she may be talking about herself and that she is ". . . frozen by some shudder of the mind . . ." Meaning she is stuck in these events/times. I also think that the words vanishing or without pause are something to note.

So, a few things. This is a strand of time. It is saying what comes after, a sequel is something that must happen after the original. As well as that, I also find a strand of voice here too. I feel as though May is repeating the similar voice pattern of her mother. The pauses in her speech semi-mimic her mother's speech which stood out to me.

I feel a very big binary of presence between these last few lines of this paragraph and the last few lines on page 240. On page 240 it's the mother being present, being actualized or at least like that to May. However, in this paragraph I feel as though this is May/Amy's way of recounting her memories (however fuzzy they may be). The mother is not there; the absent memory is all that remains of her in May/Amy's mind.

This is a test to make sure my annotations work. I hope they do!
