Short Stories

After reading the short stories, I really feel like this type of literature is sharing someone's personal account, their thoughts, or a single side of the story from a person what it may have meant to that person. This goes on to remind me of part 1 of "Things Fall Apart". That was very personal and intense, but maybe only for that very person. It is a very, very microscopic part of the earth as a whole because it is only that one person. I feel like these short stories sort of go with that idea. Life as a whole, for everyone, all together, is huge. The stories or accounts in which these people share, are unique to one person, and their being part of this huge picture.
