At the beginning of “The Chase,” Dillard incorporates extensive description, both subjective and objective, in order to further indulge her audience into the exhilarating escapades of her youth. She shares her thrilling adventures of throwing snowballs at cars, which were “targets all but wrapped in red ribbons, cream puffs” traveling “slowly and evenly” down Reynolds street. In addition, she rarely uses breaks or pauses in her writing to depict feelings of intensity, excitement, and disbelief that she felt during the chase. One can vividly see when reading her story that it is meant to be perceived at an energetic and rapid pace by how she explains how they “ran through a gap,” “entered a scruffy backyard,” and “ran across Edgerton” with little to no periods between statements.
