I liked the extract of Digging To America and how from the first line it could have been any evening in any time, but then when you read deeper and think about it more you understand that it has to be from around the era that we are living in now, like after the 80's. It was interesting, as if we were following clues to try and work out exactly what period of time the writing was referring to.
I also liked the extract from Birdsong, where it said '1948 - Before'. I like how it makes you wonder what happened after 1948, and also how the word 'before' draws you in; the single word makes you feel like whatever happened is very significant, like there would be too many words to put after before to make sense, so they just left it as 'before' and then started the story.
