I'm on the ball this week...WOO!

Since I just finished reading the stories for this week, I thought I would go ahead and post so that I don't wait until the last minute like most every other week. :/ I really liked all of the stories assigned for this week too! "Winkie" was probably my favorite. I had really strong "feelings" about it the entire time I was reading it. I got mad at the mother and scared for the little girl and the creepy guy. I really like stories that I can really get into. I also really liked "Pol Pot's Beautiful Daughter;" at first I thought Sith (by the way, all I could think about was Star Wars everytime her name was mentioned...anyone else have that problem?)...back on track...I thought she was really flaky and I didn't really care for her, but I really liked that in the end she made up for her father's mistakes and turned out to be a really good person...even though she had a "small heart"...haha. I was a little bored by "Another Word for Map Is Faith." I don't really understand "Lionflower Hedge" yet, which is unfortunate because that is the story I'm talking about Wednesday. I'll have to figure out what it's all about before then. And finally, I really liked "A Fearful Symmetry" too! I liked that it was symmetrical, and everything that was mentioned in the story was resolved by the time you got to the end. I also really liked that we are part of her "rebirth." It makes me wonder if this really happened or if it is completely made up. Like the other stories I liked, I felt really connected to this one, too. I was a bit suspicious about the girl and the soldiers though. The girl was really stupid to go out there all by herself. So, yeah. That's what I thought about this weeks stories. Hopefully I'll figure out something very insightful to say about "Lionflower Hedge" before Wednesday!
