Three Stories

Of the three stories I read, the two that I somewhat liked were Ernest Hemingway's, "The Hills like White elepants" and Tobias Wolfe's "Powder".  I thought that the Hemingway story was interesting but it had so many different meanings.  It was just about these to people talking in a cafe.  It reminded me of The Killers, just one setting with just dialogue.  There were so many different meanings that you could take from the stories.  I also think that this would be to hard of a story to act out in class because, first of all there are no girls in our group to play as the girl in the story, also there is a lot of dialect and not much stage directions.

The other story, "Powder", was a good story, mainly because it was a story that everyone experiences in there life at sometime, rebellion.  Its all about a guy going through a road block and the emotional conflicts that the characters go through.  I think that this is a probable story that we can and are doing to act out in class.  There is interesting stuff to do and many ways to do the skit.  Also the dialogue is like normal every day speech and has lines that will be easy to get in character because we wont have to use a certain dialect.

The last story I read was a story by Grace Paley.  I don't even know the name of the story because it just seemed to be an entry of a diary rather than a story.  The book I grabbed was probably not her short stories, but either way I didn't like her writing style. That is all I can really say about her.
