Fluorescence

Sighted , this poem speaks for it's self.  It's  spaces provided a visual story, because it was spaced so far apart. When you read this you are slowed down because of all the spaces , it forces the readers to read slower. It was two characters in this story , the person that the story was being told about and the waiter.  Although the story has I in it, it is not a first person point of view it's told from third person.This story reminds me more of a poem than a story , because of the form and style of it. It doesn't rhyme but because this story is written in this form it reminds me of a poem.  The title of this story flows with what the story is about. This story is very redundant because when the author speaks he puts things in different tenses. So this story could be considered present and past.
In the Garden, this story shocked me. I thought this story was going to be different because of the title. Then it start talking about sex. As I continue to read I was paying attention to the words that she used, it's very intense and since the paragraph is so close together, it makes it go faster so you read it faster.
All together these stories where very good, the style and form of theses poem created it's on imagery.

Fiction 3

When it rains it rains a river, while reading this it baffled me , as it still does. This story uses a lot of metaphors , somethings you can take literal as well, which made me question is this about one thing or another. This story also used a lot repetition , and it was shared to follow because they didn't say any names. Since this story used a lot repetition it made it's point more clear to the readers. But it also made you wonder why is there so many repetition. It made this story seem like a poem instead of a  story.
For instance , "us brothers , we start to sing. We sing and we sing and we do not stop singing until the rain stops drumming down. There was a lot of repetition in this along. This also makes me wonder what the mud was that they were talking about . When he said "us brothers, we drop down, onto our hands and knees , down in the mud, and we began to eat . I thought maybe they were talking abut mud pies., but It could have been something else as we.
Thia story was different , because I felt like it was all over the place, there were no names , everyone was referred to as brother or girl. Was his brother like different friends or was it just one person. But all around it was a pretty good story, especially after you understand, if you can.

Fiction packet 2

I like the story Intern. I like this story because of the way that it is broken down into different sections.  The first section is called ' My  internship', then when he begins the story reinforcing that this is what he was talking about.
I thought that it was very different that his intern was to watch his mentor/administrating doctor's brother. I would think that he would be assigned something like that. While he was suppose to be observing his brother he had to be careful because of all the things he was considered;  the nervous type, nihilistic, and depressive. It was very surprising that this man was even talking about his brother in this way. Rauch warning to him was not to mistake his brother as being anything good, he was all bad.
