Most of the reading we had done in class were very interesting. this one on the other hand wasn't the greatest. I decided that my response to the reading was a good one to use because I didn't totally agree with the writing itself. I wanted to make sure i didn't come across as someone who agrees with everything.


Of the four stories my favorite was “Shooting Dad”. I had a feeling that the story was going to be about someone accidentally shooting their father. As I read on into the story I realized it was not anything close to what I had imagined. The story reminded me of trying to relate with my dad with things that I didn't not fully appreciate myself. All of the stories had different good things about each of them. Champion of The World had incredible detail. While it was talking about how everyone was so into listening to the match. One part that stood out was when they said “babies slid to the floor as women stood up and men leaned toward the radio”. This part really let you know how intense things were getting. Then next story from Tan was not as intriguing to me. It seem to be a little dry.
