Adventure

Last night while I was reading I came across the passage "Adventure" and it stood out more than the others. Though I've been able to identify to a point, with most of the featured citizens of Winesburg, Alice Hindman was one that sort of struck home. I made a note in the margins of my book, so I'd specifically remember her, and what she's gone through. I noticed, that the word "ferment" was used almost immediately to describe her, while the others in town had been compared to something that has decayed. Though fermentation is a type of decay, it's one that births something sweet and hopeful, and though Alice is a grotesque, this seems to mean that the narrator might hold out a small hope for her. It's almost as if she's pre-grotesque, and still has the ability to prevent the loneliness and ostrasization that the other's we've read about have experienced.

That's all...though I could probably ramble a bit more.
