Emergency

One technique evident within the story "Emergency" is the use of dialogue. The dialogue within the text is very prevalent and functions in multiple ways including creating a scene and revealing character. For example when Georgie and the narrator are talking following Georgie's removal of the knife from the man's eye, Georgie's responses are very cool and relaxed, "'How's the guy doing?' I asked 'Who?' Georgie said". Georgie's indicated to the reader that Georgie was unfazed by the action of removing a knife from someone's eye, this spoke loudly about his character revealing things such as; he's not squeamish, he's brave, he's one to act then analyze. All of these things are revealed through the short phrase "Who".
The author also uses dialogue to create a scene which adds momentum to the story. This is best exemplified when examining the scene where Georgie and the narrator run over the rabbit and then discover its babies. This scene is almost completely dialogue but by inserting phrases "It's getting late, let's get back to town." and "We can't go on I don't have any headlights." Both of these phrases exemplify how the author uses dialogue to describe an issue which in turn creates the next scene for the story. This makes the story flow together very nicely and allows it to move in a way which does not feel forced.
A final technique used within the story is summary.  The author uses summary to describe the scenes, but keeps said summaries relatively short. This works effectively because the readers are then offered some contextual description without getting lost in long, irrelevant descriptions. One place where I think the author achieves this seamlessly is the summary preceding the rabbit scene, "After awhile you forget its summer. You don't remember what morning is". While concise, these two sentences describe both the season, and also enlighten the reader to the feelings of the narrator.
