Capote, Truman. Breakfast
at Tiffany's and three stories. 2nd Vintage International ed. New York:
Vintage Books, 2012. Print.
Commentary:
The sentence begins with a relaxed tone until it shifts at "until a day unlike any other I've lived" and foreshadows that any routine or normality is about to be disrupted by an upcoming event. Repetition of the word days is found in first part of the sentence. Following that, the days are compared and personified as leaves that blow about in memory. Memory is compared to the air on an a crisp, autumn day. The inclusion that the season is autumn creates imagery for the reader. For example, the classic leaves changing color from green to oranges, yellows, and browns along with a feeling of cool air.
