We fully began fiction today. We read numerous stories today, a few I liked and a few were totally confusing. We had to chose one story from the packet to read alone and then share our thoughts to the class. I read Walking the baby to the liquor store. I like this story, I was quite easy to understand. At first I thought the author was a procrastinator, if the author is his our character in the story, because of what was described in the first paragraph about how his work was piling up. But then I saw it was piling up because he was caught up in being a father, then i thought what's wrong with that.
We looked at another story: Misdemeanors. About a stupid criminal who went to jail from robbing a bowling alley. It was funny because when he told the story made himself seem like a hardened criminal because he went to jail by what he was telling the kids but his wife told a different story. You can tell he didn't plan this robbery properly. I'm no expert criminal but I think you should've had a more reliable getaway driver and not someone who was passed out at the wheel. And he should have wore a belt if he was going to fill his pockets with coins because at the end of the story his pants were around his knees as he was running for the cops.
We also looked a the mystery stories. Which I found more confusing than mysterious. The old Japanese man was by far the most confusing because I couldn't tell who was real the boy dreaming boy or the Japanese man. The jackets one was funny because the character is always unlucky enough to get her coat stolen at parties. The talking cat seemed to make the most sense because it's about a woman who's jealous her cat made a new friend.
