Ms Zadie Smith made the story Miss Adele Amidst the Corsets come alive she describe the setting, used different characters, the dialogue used between the characters and the playing of the loud loud music and the people moving about very busy. The sensual detail that is favored in this story is the trying on and taking off the corset and the customers admiring themselves in the mirror  The noises Adele made behind the curtain while trying to fasten the corset could be sensual to someone passing by in the store.This story is more about city life because it demonstrates how people move about minding their on business focusing on the tasks that they have to accomplish throughout their day.  The loud music playing to drown out and distract us from whats happening in the city/store and life. Also the dialogue between the customers is similar to city life when individuals randomly talk to strangers to inquire or acquire needed information.  The British tourist are lost and asked a stranger for directions. The story is very busy like city life with a diverse group of people and still we are not tolerant of the differences we encounter everyday.  The owner of the store is Jewish, Miss Adele is African American and the sales person is Asian the city is a mixture of ethnic groups.  This story depicts how society prejudge individuals and mistreat them because of our own beliefs. The rudeness of the store owner towards his customer is despicable but real.  He ignores Miss Adele when she enters the store and refused to look at her when she had to pay for her corsets. The way Adele handles the situation was commendable. She knew what she needed and refused to leave the store without the corset ,she left the money on the counter ,took the merchandise and ran out the store.
