A Fable for Tomorrow
A Fable for Tomorrow
The moment I read the first paragraph, I immediately was able to picture everything that the author had described in the piece. This story has spiked my curiosity and I would like to read the book to know more on what happens in this story. What the author writes about could actually become a reality some day. But overall, this was a great story and it really made the reader feel as if they were going through the beauty and tragedies.
Maman and America
This was a good story to read, but not my kind of story. I can understand how the two divorced parents have two different ideologies on how to raise a child and with which culture to follow. I’m really surprised me that Maman was hateful towards the American culture and thought that Americans were the problem, but she thought that a parent’s divorce and that the woman keeping the respect in society was ok in her book. That’s something that I understand, but to me she sounds like someone who wants her cake and wants to eat it too. You’re not going to get a perfect culture and no culture will ever be close to perfect. You shouldn’t slander other cultures, by doing that you are just creating more hate in this world and that hate is what corrupts societies and culture. Plus, on a side note….they spoke about the mother the whole time and rarely about the father.
Chinese Space, American Space This essay was nicely written and I could picture the detailed descriptions of the homes. I didn’t enjoy this piece as much as the other stories that we read. Overall, the story was good and had a good flow to

    Within reading the first page of the novel, I was already longing to continue turning the pages. The manner in which both the first page and blurb are written in, both automatically pull the reader in due to the mysterious suspense making you want more. The first three sentences of this novel are “I never imagined I would die like this. The fall from the cliff is sudden…

    The only aspect that bothers me a bit is that the story seems a bit jumbled; events that spread years apart are put together in one page, and then a few paragraphs later, the story flies back to third grade memories.I find myself desperately trying to reorient myself, but sometimes I simply cannot and have to reread the whole page.…

    3.) The concluding paragraph was awful it may have had a thesis statement but the ending could have been better. This writer fell short with the last sentence “I hope to be able to read more short stories similar to this, ones that I can really get into and feel as though I am the narrator himself in the story”. That just didn’t appeal to me at…

    The chronological order the events are unfolding in a way that is making sense. There also, to me, seems to be a sense of buildup to a climax, like in a movie tends to do. One critique, however, is the continued detailed wording of some paragraphs. The wording feels sometimes like it is going into too much detail, which loses my attention at times. It still seems to be an annoyance to have to sift through paragraphs worth of wording just to get to the story. A few details would have been more than enough for a description, but pages of these unimportant details makes me lose interest quick. Though with this detailness paints a very clear picture of the setting as well as leaving very few details in question. I’ve already passed the halfway point of the book, but the excitement level has continued to remain…

    It is a very interesting piece of literature because the story is vague enough to create a heated debate whether she had an abortion or not in the end. We can make up the future of their relationships in our imaginations and how she might be going to live. It enabled us to figure out what the story were based on, and it showed us a very realistic feature of our very own world we live in and how some people are irresponsible and so self-centered.…

    Interesting discussion. The essay holds together nicely (though you do slip a little too heavily into plot summary in the middle, but you do regain focus at the end). I would suggest that you go back and look at the openings and closings of paragraphs—as these could be much more effective.…

    * This story is a bit slower, perhaps better read by an older teenager. This book makes you think, and I found myself thinking about the message and the point and the depth of the novel. It's not as fast of a read, but it's a quality read. The book is very well written, full of phrases and descriptions that make you stop and think.…

    I greatly enjoyed this essay. I thought that her descriptive writing placed a detailed imagine in my head and I could see every scene that she described about her journey in life. I thought that her enthusiasm for embracing her life and her colored skin was inspiring. To be able to take what some may think as a disadvantage in life, and turn it into a benefit is a great way to live in the world. I also enjoyed her metaphor of the bags filled with miscellaneous contents. Everyone…

    Through out this novel, a lot of tragic and powerful events transpire. They make the reader think quite a bit on what they have just read and after this, you tend to react. These events and occurrences are the main idea behind the story and they continue to constantly grab your attention and you keep you focused on what is going on in the novel. However, too many big impact and negative events take away from the story and it's traditional role of focusing on one major element through out the book. The reader is ceased of time to actually think about what has just happened, before something else suddenly does.…
