CRR

            So in English class, we have been working on short stories lately. Honestly I like this better then reading an actual book.its so much shorter. One of my favorite short story that we have read would be "the secret life of Walter Mitty" by James Thurber. It's about a man who daydreams a lot. It often gets him in disputes with his wife. He daydreams Where he is a brave military Commander, Or a surgeon. He always daydreams himself as a strong well respected person to Get away from his real life. Another one of my favorite short story was the "tall tell heart" by Edgar Allen poe.It's about a man who fears the eye of an old man whom he lives with. This causes him to believe the eye is a threat and kills the old man because of this. He later hears the heartbeat of the old man which makes him feel very guilty. He confessed his crimes after going mad because he kept hearing the heart beat. It teaches the reader about having a guilty conscious and how it can turn you into a crazy person.

  1. Why do you have random words capitalized? It's confusing for the reader. I'm glad you've enjoyed some of the stories! Will you focus your essay on these?

  2. I also liked some of the short stories. The one I like the most is the lottery because of the major plot turn at the end.
