Fiction Packet 2

I would definitely have to say that I liked fiction packet 2 much better. The stories in this packet were much longer then the other one but that is not the reason why I didn't like it as much. I didn't think the stories were very interesting. It was very difficult for me to pay attention to them.

The first story that was called Contagion, was a very detailed story. I think it's funny that the story is so detailed considering the main character had to be very detailed in his writing for his boss. I did like how the story was broken up into different sections like, "My Instructions" and "My Record and Journey". That made me interested in what was to follow in the paragraph,  wanted to learn about his journey and records. Some parts, though, were quite dull. The parts where they were going over the Rauchian theory and all the interns learnings, were very boring to me. I wasn't sure if it was important for us to know to understand the story, but I did not rain anything from it at all.

I believe the next story was called "Point and Line". This story was very frustrating for me. It seemed to jump around a lot and it was hard to follow. I couldn't really get the just of the story except for the fact about a little girl in the marketplace and about a cat. I wasn't sure how they went together and it didn't make much sense. I like when stories go in order and it tells a story in chronological order. It is more intriguing to me to read a story I want to read and can understand.

The last story that I read was called "People in Hell just Want a Drink of Water". This story was actually pretty good to me. I thought it was the perfect amount of details, just enough so that you can understand them and put it all together. I really enjoyed reading about the Tinsleys on page 103 of the story. It was very descriptive and I was able to get a picture in my head which makes the story more enjoyable because I can paint even more of a picture as the story goes along. Overall, the stories were ok. I think there is a lot that can make or break a short story. The amount of detail and the order of the story have seemed to be the two that bothers me the most.
