20/20

The short story "20/20" by Linda Brewer, recounts the tale of Ruthie and Bill as they travel cross-country. Throughout the story, Ruthie sees things that aren't there, according to Bill. This could be because she actually had bad eyesight. I recently got my first pair of glasses. I was ridiculously annoyed. I'm eighteen and never had a pair before in my life. I didn't want them now. But apparently, they're necessary for driving and stuff (who knew?). They have been a big adjustment for me. I am constantly leaving them places, or getting into the shower with them still on. However, I can understand how Ruthie feels. The world looked much more interesting when I couldn't really see it.
