Epistrophe

Yet again we come to know how drinking influences the novel. On page 85, Mike starts to speak of his love for Brett. He is holding a conversation with with Jake and Bill. However, all he can keep saying is "lovely piece." At the end of every sentence he states some way he works in "lovely piece." This shows the audience what Mikes feeling for Brett. Everyone thinks she is lovely;furthermore, she is the love interest in the entire novel. It is also funny to find, noone answers him when he asks them if they agree. Brett introduced Mike as a drunkard. (motif) I am doing these blogs after I finished the book so I know how Brett and Mike end up. Eventhough they were engaged to be married, Mike's "lovely piece" and him never make it to the wedding day.
