I used the story Grim Reaper from this week’s offerings I like this because it doesn’t quite fit into those curves. First, I have to decide who the main character is. I think William Shatner is.

We were asked to watch Kurt Vonnegut’s on the Shapes of Stories and then relate it to one of our past readings. I chose to do Ghastly McNasty’s “Last Respects From Tales From the Cyrpy #3” which is basically a love story told by a wicked witch. However, I think this is as far from any […]

I purposely chose the short story and the tv  show because they both accomplish the same thing but through different means. Jackson, uses irony throughout her plot. I […]

It tricks you into a false sense of comfort because at first the townspeople are so casual. You think it’s just a normal benign story because … Continue reading You’ve got to believe me!!!!
