Observations: man in a toll booth, repeating the same phrase, rocky/desert setting, abandoned buildings, rundown town, picks up trash, landlord is young and possibly a drug dealer, pet turtle, bad neighbor, upset wife, Norah works at the supermarket, Ray is a generous person, unhealthy food, Charlene is not attractive, she seems timid
Inferences: Ray has feelings for Norah and she will become a love interest in the movie. Change will be coming into Ray's life in some form. Town wasn't always deserted. Ray is an optimist. Charlene used to be beautiful
Recalls: Ethan Frome. Ray seems like Ethan, Charlene is like Zeena in that they both are shut ins, and Norah is like Maddie; who is a young, vibrant girl in the main character's otherwise mundane life.
