" Yes, some nights she does, in snatches. bows her poor head against the wall and snatches a little sleep. [Pause.] Still speak? Yes, some nights she does, when she fancies none can hear. " This specific section right here can be broke down to presence vs absence, strange of voice, and strand of time. All three work perfectly. When they say she sleeps in "snatches" it means her naps are not restful its like a continuous pattern of awake and then sleep which creates presence vs absence. Then when it says "bows her poor head against the wall" makes her seem tired and restless like she is consistently clinging on to life in a sense? or even a sense of being trapped? which this is a strand of time because this event feels repeated and it feels continuous, and it makes me feel like Shes hardly even there and it makes me think that she is suffering. Then when it says "Still speak? Yes, some nights she does, when she fancies none can hear." It shows she speaks to herself when nobody else is listening It makes her voice seem eerie or ghostly and it really makes me wonder if she is fading away, however still trying to cling to life. Her voice is like half present, shes halfway here, clinging for life.

the entire page 240 is a strand of voice. There is so many lines and phrases where they pause and continuously have the same tone. It says "Pause. No Louder." That makes me wonder how they consistently keep the same tone no matter what is being asked it is almost like it is one person talking it seems completely emotionless. It repeats the phrase "pause. No louder." approximately five times and it gives me/makes me feel a sense of eeriness. This also creates a perfect example of absence and presence because the presence is when they speak and then it feels so absent and so incomplete with a huge amount of pauses/

This shows a binary of presence vs absence because when it states "fade out on strip all in darkness" it becomes the feeling of absence. The feeling of presence is when she asks the question "will you never have done? Will you never have done revolving it all?" This creates a sinister vibe because now we all want to know what "it all" means it creates a strand of voice in a sense as well. This strand of voice can give the reader a guess on the tone of the question. It sounds like it starts off bold and then ends off with a quiet whisper as she fades away.
