It was a nice change to go from all the poems to these short stories. I really enjoyed all the poems but the readings this week was a very nice change. I enjoyed all the authors and their writing styles. I really enjoyed Thomas Pynchon's story. He included a lot of detail in his writing about everything. It allowed me to feel as if I was where he was writing about. All of the details added to the fullness of the story.
Raymond Carver's story Cathedral was very interesting to me. The ending was perfect I really like how the blind man was able to teach Robert not to feel smothered by his surroundings. The blind man was able to teach Robert how to enjoy his life more.
All the readings were very in depth and touching. Each one had a point to make. It amazed me at how much detail each had. When a story has a lot of detail I am able to make a clearer picture of what the author is trying to portray in my mind. My favorite story from the reading was Lullaby by Leslie Marmon Silko. It was a very touching story and I really enjoyed how she ended the story with the song that had been passed down.
