At first when I got the syllabus and saw the book we were suppose to read I wasn’t too excited for the class. I don’t really like reading books at all and these books didn’t seem interesting to me all. To my surprise I really liked the Sunflower and how it was wrote. I really enjoyed and the story and found myself wanting to read it and not forcing myself to read it. I think it was more the topics that interest me instead of the writing style. If I find the topic to be interesting or something I can relate to, I will enjoy those book no matter what the writing style is. I didn’t like the Secret Life of the Bees at all, mostly because I wasn’t interested in it all. The movie didn’t look interesting to me, and if I couldn’t even see myself watching the movie, I defiantly would never see myself reading the book. I really didn’t like the descriptive writing style of the Secret Life of the Bees but I think if the story was more interesting to me I would have been able to go along with the writing style.
I really didn’t hate any of the short stories or really liked any. They were just assignments I read and didn’t have to much of an opinion on. At first I really didn’t get Where is the Voice Coming From but after talking about it and class and learning the story behind it made a lot of sense to me. I probably would have to say that this was my favorite short story mostly because I like the history about it. The Man the Well was my least favorite story because I felt like the author was leaving to open to interpretation. I know some people like this and like to talk to views on the text but I would rather have an author come out and say an idea then talk about that idea. I don’t like when people will get caught up on the littlest detail in the story and think the author was trying to say something by it, but in reality the author was just a writing a story without any hidden details.
