Short Stories Cont.

The short stories we were assigned for Wednesday were quite different from the previous stories we read. While the readings for Monday centered around one male character and his feelings about his life and the world around him, these new readings consist of an abstract story form. Instead of sticking with one main character or thing, they bounce around on different tangents, which sometimes made me a little confused as to where the story was going to go. Although, these styles may have been different and less direct than the others, it shows that short stories don't have a set format. They can be abstract or follow a more conservative approach. This abstract idea is present in "Mr. Palomar in His Garden," because it diverges from the garden's environment to Mr. Palomar, as well as communication.
