Although it was quite different, I liked how the Evenson short story was broken into different stanzas. It seemed like a play more than just a short story. Evenson was very descriptive as to what he was experiencing and what his thoughts were as he took upon the new internship. The short story also seemed like a journal he kept while at the internship. I thought the short story was unique and fun to read. This short story was a narrative from a first person point of view.

I didn't really care for the Thalia Field piece. It was all over the place. It was talking about so many random things. The story was about a woman who went to visit the psychiatrist, but refused to open up and express her feelings. So instead of communicating with the psychiatrist, she just thought of random things. Although the language in this short story was quite boring, the imagery and metaphors made the piece interesting. For instance, " I feel my cheeks burn as if they might peel off and fly toward the window, striking against it, a terrifying wet bird." This is an example of a similie and imagery. Another sentence that I loved was, "I could sell the rights if I could simply tell the story."
