**2. What is the relationship between the subject and the writer?**


The relationship between the subject and writer is that over the years, the writer has encountered many fearful events that have caused confusion in his or her life. These events have become incomprehendable, and vexing, "Tossing in my bad at night I am plagued by their nagging contradictions, their obscurities, and their abstractions"(paragraph 23). They have also contorted in some way with the experiences he or she has had, "Each feeling represented a different aspect of myself at that time, a self that was capable of interpreting a situation in a variety of ways"(paragraph 32).
