This week was definitely a relief not having to worry about finishing my paper and being able to focus more on the rest of my homework. However, Monday was my birthday, so I was in
Out of the two stories, I have read so far, my favorite was probably “The Use of Force,” just because it was interesting to see how the little girl would defend herself from the doctor, just so she did not have to have anyone know she was sick and so she did not have to accept the fact that she was sick and may die. “A Good Man is Hard to Find” is another good story, the only thing I did not like about is was that it was a very sad ending with everyone in the family dying. The misfit was a very cruel person and I wish that the grandma had been able to change his mind to make somewhat of a good ending.
I am interested to see how the longer story turns out that I still have to read. I do not remember what it is called off the top of my head, but hopefully it is somewhat good like the other two I have read this week, and not like “The Hunger Artist” last week. I will find out tomorrow night I guess.
Does anyone know if we will have to write another paper for this class or if that was the only one? If anyone knew and could let me know that would be great. Have a great weekend and week everyone, talk to you in a week!

Hi, Jessica:
I like "The Use of Force," too. You are generous to suggest that the girl is afraid of her sicknes/possible death; I never thought of it that way before. Children do have mysterious ways of thinking that they don't outright communicate; their stubborness is hard to deal with/reason with, but I trust their motives are legitimate--if only I could understand them! As a child, for example, I was so afraid of going to the dentist that I held on to the towel bar in the bathroom and wouldn't let go; I think someone tried to pull me off and it ended up pulling the towel bar partly off the wall. I didn't go to the dentist that day, by the way...
We don't have any more papers from the looks of it. I do know that there is a Drama and fiction project and then a poetry project. Whether or not that will as time consuming and difficult as the paper, i don't know. I'm hoping not. Something tells me, however, that they will be elaborate, time consuming, and large in writing content given the structure of the class.
