“Fat swim “ and “the entertainer” Questions

The Entertainer":

• What do you think of Devlin and Davenport? (What about their names?)
• Why do they want to watch Rachel eat?
• What is the significance of their game of "talking poor"? What does this say about them?
• Who is the entertainer? 

The entertainer 
My options on Devin and Davenport is there both girls who were rich and had no control over it, they had to live and fit into this life style and maintain it. Rachel to them is what they wish they could be . The sisters names sound powerful in my opinion like they hold significants rather than a typical name anyone could have, much like a last name.
Both of them watch Rachel eat foods they wish they could eat. For example in the scene where Rachel is eating and can see their pupils dilate the food stimulates this.
The significance of their game of “talking poor” say about them is there completely offed from the outside world and to them its just a game, but that isn’t their reality much like as kids you would play dress up or a celebrity ( being something you aren’t )
The entertainer in the story is Rachel she provides a different perspective to the story and the people in it. Rachel to them is a outsider when to us she’s like any other girl.

 "Fat Swim":

• Why is Alice drawn to the women at the pool?
• What's wrong with her father?
• What is Alice like?
• We learn that the women at the pool are a mix of white and black, something unusual for that neighborhood. What ethnicity did you picture Alice as? 
• Did you notice that none of the dialogue has quotation marks ("") around it in this story? The convention is to put quotes around dialogue as it is in "The Entertainer": "'Fuck men,' Devlin says" (180). Why do you think Eisenberg doesn't use quotation marks?

Fat swim 

Alice is drawn to the women to the pool since she finds them attractive and wants to be just like them when she grows up. Alices father is depressed and both him and is daughter is aware of it yet they don’t confront each other on it.Alice is like a little girl looking for role models In her life and finds these women at the pool where they teach her and show her things as a parent would.I pictured Alice as a freckled red head since there is a similar movie called “ eight grade “ the story made me think of the main girl and the changes and struggles she had with her body in the movie taking place at a pool.Eisenberg doesn’t use quotation marks since it wouldn’t have let the story flow the way it did. Everything was described so you can see the image in your head with that there was no need for quotations since the characters were already imagined.
