Ten Days in a Mad-House

I was not expecting the narrative style. It made it seem like a story, rather than a newspaper article, though it was still very interesting.

The narrative style also made it easier to tell her experiences. And because it was directly based upon her experiences, it made sense to use first person.

The account was also extremely detailed. It made me wonder if she recalled everything from memory, or found a way to take notes during her stay in the asylum. The style, however, also meant you didn't come across the serious abuse until much later in the story. A lot of time was devoted to setting up the scenario.

I was then disappointed by how the story ended and how the grand jury didn't get to see the horrible conditions for themselves.
