The change in syntax in the novel is present again at the Golden Day. While some of the men in this bar speak regular, others have the change in syntax that Trueblood had. I think this demonstrates a variety of characters and how they each have a different view on Mr. Norton or his generalization, white folk, as well as the school. The Golden Day is filled with prostitutes, vets (who are shell-shocked), and normal customers. In this chapter the reader really notices how this text is subjective because of the different responses to the events the narrator has. Being thrown into this new setting of chaos highlights this more even though with Trueblood it was also present.
