My last blog

My favorite story this semester was The Veldt. I really enjoyed the sci-fi genre and the fact that it was set in the future unlike most of the stories we read this semester that are set way before my time. Also the twist at the very end, while somewhat disturbing, made the story that much more interesting. I also loved how the author left the outcome of the very end when McClean walks in the room up to readers whether the lions kill him as well or he escapes from the nursery. Another aspect of the story that made it very appealing was all the foreshadowing leading up to the death of the parents such as the parents hearing their own screams coming from the nursery.

My least favorite story was The Girl. The characters were so flat. It was one long boring sentence. The mom reminded me of my mom when she really gets on my nerves. I don't have much to say about this story but I really did not enjoy it except for the fact that it was a really short read.
