How Great was MR.Voice story ?

Mr. Voice deffinetly is one of my favorite stories from this book. I loved the different changes that I felt while reading the book, and the depth of emotions that it brings out. The narrator takes us from her earliest childhood memories into many years later. Also I guess how the author doesn't really give you what you want at certain moments of the text but creates something that is just so real. Like her almost getting raped, and her having the crush on Brian who turned out to be gay. Just pictured a young girl with all those fantasies in her head about Brian but then when she finds out the news it's almost like she just had to keep going with the flow of things. Certain themes stuck out to me through story and I can see the author wrapping it up towards the conclusion. About identity and being yourself how nobody can tell you who you are. It's crazy how we carry so many of or parents traits within us. I notice things in my dad and then I see it in my grandma. So having those moments were I consciously see my self reacting the same way my father does is a liberating feeling, like in that split moment I realize what's going on. So we carry a lot of beliefs and habits from our conditioning. When claude stepped in he began to dis identify her from her mother. I believe he was the only one who told her otherwise. About her looking like her mother, it seems throughout the story she always wanted to be different. I guess it's like something her mom left her with cause even when she notices the daughter similarity to the mother she feels as though she has to step in. Story seems pretty fucked up on how her mother just bailed out on her and left her with a man who was not blood related, and how her father stares at her in the face says it's crazy that she has a little bit of him, after her mom just died he walks out of her life forever.(excuse my language ) Everything was for her best though, Claude seemed like a great father to her. It was nice how the author was able to capture so much history, and important scenes, and moments in a short story. Like when her and Brian stared at each other smiling when his husband told the daughter you look like her, and using that moment to lead into the mothers death. It seems to keep us on this path of important moments , meanings, and messages, of the story. The story was also great written with many visual aspects felt like Going through a film.
