Fiction Packet #1 Stories

       The first story called,"Survivors" was definitely entertaining. It talked about a lover and his companion and how basically they were both dieing. I think that they were dieing from aids because in the beginning it talked about how they were low on T-Cells. This seemed to be a homosexual couple that faced many struggles because of their sexuality. One of them being that he was beaten by his dad because his dad believed that he could beat the gay out of him. It also talks about how his whole family disapproves of how he is living his life in a homosexual way.
       When i read the story,"The list of famous Hats", i was expecting for it to talk about a bunch of different hats that famous people wore. Instead it talked about a bathing cap that Napoloeon wore and how it was too small for his head and how he never bought a new one ever since he was a child. It also talked about how he had to vaseline his head in order to put the cap on. This short story was very comical. I had a sense of comic relief to it. I like the different examples of details that it gave throughout the short story.
       The short story,"misdemeanors" had me laughing. It talks about how an old man fabricates a robbery that he commited and how he went for the cash in the register and their was only change in the drawer. So when the police counted how much change he had, he was once cent short of a felony charge. Then so he spent 6 months in county jail. The whole time though the old man was telling this exstravacanrt story about the situation and his wife is telling what really happened! haha
