I just ask what parts of it were excessively or affectedly sentimental because I had a teacher who would say, "Sentimentality, sentimentality, excessively or affectedly sentimental in my sentimentality." The play on the definition has stuck with me ever since.
That is a very interesting perspective. I don't want to flog a dead ox here, but I would love to know what about the relationships make the whole thing sentimental for you. I could see that the comic books and such could be arguably sentimental (the nostalgia), but the other is very interesting to me. Help me understand this.
What are “cliche'd emotions”? Can you give me examples?
I am trying to get into the nooks and crannies and find out exactly where you're coming from and what exactly you mean, otherwise your critique could mean something completely unintended, ya know? Getting your insight will be a help to me and I appreciate it. Again thank you.
Thank you everyone who has taken the time to comment.
Actually I didn't find any part affectedly sentimental. The piece as a whole is sentimental because of the relationship between this lonely demented man and his kind neighbors, also because of the theme of self sacrifice.

That clashed with the genuine if somewhat cliche'd emotions of the piece.
