This week, I finished The Hunger Games and got through half of Catching Fire. It's sooo good!! Lots of un-expected twists! I'm getting quite nervous though....really nervous....
The Odyssey was decent this week. LOOOOOOONG story-within-a-story! Just when I thought he was finally done telling it, he starts up again. I'm thankful for finally being filled-in on everything though. The whole story is starting to come together and I just want him to get home already!! That giant lady was creepy though...lots of gross scenes this week...bleh..
A Good Man is Hard to Find wasn't very good. I mean, it was well written, but I hated it! I didn't see a point in the story and it didn't really explain where they were going or why. Horrible ending!!(I hate cliff hangers)Why did the misfit talk to the grandma forever if he was just killing her anyway and why did everyone else get killed in the woods? Was he really her son??? I was left with a lot of quesitons after reading it, but maybe that's how the author wanted it to be. At least the beginning captured my attention. Oh, and I found the grandma's flashbacks somewhat interesting. Other than that, it definitely wasn't one of my favorite short stories.

You should be nervous when reading the Hunger Games (ect.) because that's the mood that the author tries to set for most of the seires.
ReplyDeleteI agree about A Good Man is Hard to Find. And in The Odyssey it's like one of those things our elementary english teachers told us never to do: and then....and then...and then...
I liked the "Gone With the Wind" reference. Also, Scarlett is a whiney little brat in the movie, like the kids... But I still like it. :)
ReplyDeleteAnd Scarlett grows up during the war a bit as well, I suppose.
