Summarizer #4: Malory

The events of this section (pg 109-144) discuss how dating was the hardest thing that Norah had to do as Ned and begins to discuss Norah infiltrating a monastery. She is very open about her dating experiences in this section and also very open about going into the monastery. She doesn't seem to let her conscious, of the lies she is telling, get in the way of her research. She seems outgoing and unstoppable in that she goes to great amounts of lengths to discover how a man's world is. Her tone is very open to all ideas. She is more just reporting what she finds. Her tone does, however, involve lots of emotion at the end of chapter 4 when she draws conclusions and summarizes what she has learned from dating heterosexual women. In this section I also feel she is more telling us exactly what it is that she discovers, she doesn't leave much for us to figure out. She also goes into great detail about her experiences and then tries to draw conclusions and make sense out of the experiences for us. The section was written well, as usual, in that she uses highly sophisticated words and language. It was enjoyable for the most part with some sections being hard to read.
