As she is anonymous the reader is alerted that this woman is no one important and therefore should not be paid particular attention.

She never lives to tell William the truth because she commits suicide by purposely driving her car into a tree.

In “Flies,” the speaker states, “I hear him crying or maybe it’s me or someone else.” It is abnormal for someone to not know if they are crying or not. Both poem and story are unbelievable. Why and how does a 17 year old girl get to Vietnam and why does the speaker kill his grandmother over the
