Short Stories cont.

After reading these pieces, on top of skimming through other blogs, the idea of selfishness keeps coming up. I feel like a lot of people did not enjoy these pieces because there was not anything that pertained to them, or played in role in their life at all. On Monday, in group discussion we had talked about the idea of why we thought certain pieces were dry or boring. We also talking about certain people like Anne Frank. She is interesting, as well as her personal diary, because it documents something that went down in history and still has effect on how life is today. As human nature, we don't have interest in these short stories (for the most part) because it doesn't relate to us in any way, therefor we find it boring and pointless. Just a thought.
