Reading Response and Reading Times

     For my three short stories, I read The Sniper, Araby, and A Worn Path. Out of these stories, the two short stories that I enjoyed were The Sniper and A Worn Path. I thought The Sniper was engaging although I wish it were more detailed. I didn’t enjoy A Worn Path as much but I did like the story. I enjoyed A Worn Path because after all the trouble the main character Phoenix Jackson went through to get some medicine for her grandson made me think about how difficult the trip would actually have been if I were in her position.

     I honestly didn’t enjoy reading Araby because there was no closure and the plot was really strange. I wish I had chosen a different short story to read because I would have had a better list of short stories to choose from when picking one to analyze. The short story I am going to do my analysis on is A Worn Path. Although I enjoyed The Sniper more, I think it would be better to do my analysis on A Worn Path

10/27 Araby – 40 minutes

10/25 The Sniper – 30 minutes

10/27 A Worn Path – 50 minutes
