Saunders really
opened my eyes regarding short stories. It was really interesting the concepts
he uses. For example, he ensures that many details can be thrown away, and also
that an author many times is not a 100% sure of the message he wants to give.
It is left an open question for the reader. Therefore, the reader is allowed to
interpret the story in many different ways, and this is what makes the work
great. Besides that, we all have many ideals that can be easily arguable. However,
if we make the story something personal, it would be hard to deny the concept
we want to convey.
DFW´s stories
were highly descriptive, with many details and figurative language. The one
about the flags showed the feelings of an entire country, and certainly, it was
something that touched everyone.
I hope to be
able to make a nice and rich work for project 2 by using personal experinces,
with less detail but with more content.
