"A Good Man is Hard to Find"

This was my favorite story to read even if it was pretty sad and the poor innocent family died I enjoyed reading it. After all the stories we had read this one was easy to understand and had normal English in it so it all made sense and didn't seem so many big words I didn't know.  In this story a family of a husband and wife with their two children and grandmother take off on a vacation knowing a misfit is on the loose killing people. They end up in a car accident and the misfit finds them and the family thinks hes a good man that's going to hep him. He ends up killing the whole family and that is so disturbing to me. I can't understand what would make someone so awful enough to kill someone let alone a whole family with young children. This world is full of crazy people now and I don't feel safe going anywhere alone. My parents never want me going places alone day or night. With all the violence in the world now I don't blame them. I wish it could be safer to travel down the street or even go out in public I hate the feeling of not being able to trust people. When I stop at a stop light and there's someone sitting at the street corner I always go to lock my doors and see if there's any other people around which is wrong but that's how it is nowadays. We all need to make the world a safer place to live in.

"Story of an Hour"

Well in this story Mrs. Mallard dies from the joy that kills which they thought was the fact she found out her husband was still alive. Once she heard the news of her husbands death she just wanted to be left alone and after thinking about it for a while she realized how much happier her life would be without her husband there. So she got excited for her new life to start without him. I wouldn't want to be with anyone that made me so unhappy that I would actually enjoy their death but apparently she was. Once she found out her husband was still alive she died. Poor woman never got to enjoy her freedom.

"The Lottery"

"The Lottery" was the story I chose for my presentation in class thinking it would be a good story.  After reading the story I was definitely wrong, if you won the lottery you were stoned to death. That is just crazy to me I could not imagine stoning someone to death, I just don't see the point behind it. In the story it mentioned other towns were stopping the lottery but some thought that was a bad idea and the people were stupid for doing it but in my opinion those people were extremely smart. I would have hated to be the one to win that lottery, even children were using the stones to kill the winner. Now a days the lottery is completely different which I am so thankful for.
