Love Me Not Unit
In "You're Ugly, Too" by Moore, the main character Zoe characterizes all of the people of the Midwest through the use of anecdotes. The narrator speaks of a chairman, who calls Zoe in only to "study" her. Also, as Zoe reminisces about her past boyfriends, she thinks about the parking ticket bureaucrat. He comments upon her appearance and asks her to buy new clothes. These anecdotes demonstrates Zoe's dismissive behavior. She dislikes the Midwest. She believes that they are "complacent" and "spoiled". They care too much about their appearance, which made them ugly. These stories characterizes Zoe. She bundles all of the Midwestern people into the category of snobbish and greedy people.
