World-Mart question

When writing WORLD-MART, I strove for an overtly mundane and cold world with the hope of fully immersing readers into the world-gone-corporate. That meant writing characters who could fit a cold, corporate model. I chose the Irwin family to be the epitome of mediocrity, a reflection of the world around them, which called for some creative use of characterization.

With Shelley's character, I used her poetry to offer the readers a gauge into her ever-crumbling psyche. With that said, I'm curious about readers' responses to the progression (or in Shelley's case, regression) that occurs in Shelley's poetry through the course of the story.

Thanks for reading!
