"Starry, starry night
Paint your palette blue and gray
Look out on a summer's day
With eyes that know the darkness in my soul...
Now I understand
What you tried to say to me
And how you suffered for your sanity
And how you tried to set them free" - Don Mclean
From the moment I read the title, Like Stars in A Clear Night Sky, Don Mclean's song, Starry Starry night played in my head. I think what works well in the story is the language performed for the viewer. It relates to the piece's comforting and almost relaxed tone and focuses attention on stories of the challenges of life and love on the characters. When doing some more research on this piece, I enjoyed that even though there wasn't a formality, you still understood what was going on. It was easy to navigate and also his use of beginning most of the sections with, "Shall I tell you about..." makes the viewer engage in finding out more about the author and his person notations of his thoughts. It was a good piece to read before you went to sleep. It was serene. It was dreamy. It was elegant. It was poetry.
