The method was cleary the better Noir story to me because their was a crazy way that the story was told and from the femme fatale point of view from a man.  Also that their realationship was open and was not secrective it made Holly believe that everything was fine and all along Richard knew he was setting her up.  I believe it has elements of Neo Noir because the Female is playing the part of the ambigous protaginist instead of the normal man playing that part so it's reversed. Like how Holly is enraged at the end of the story because Richard only used her to try and get what he wanted.  And when she found out that Richard and his old actress girlfriend that was her roomate it caused Holly to commit murder because of her revenge. Holly is the ambigous protaginist and is crazy because she plays this innocent role of to me the girl next door but really shes not she contimplates killing and seems to enjoy it because she can get away with it.  And in the story the Morroco Junction it's just merelty a overlook of how people in rich neigborhoods are brought up. Its told by a women narrator's view from a womens perspective that's why it shows how it's elements of Neo Noir.
