Responses to Other Peoples Week 9

Well, I dropped the 8-ball a little bit, since I missed the detail that we had to respond to other's entries. Here is that:

Since Carla responded to mine, I'll respond to hers. Believe it or not, I happened to like Annabel Lee. I liked Edgar Allen Poe's style of writing, even though I'm far from a fan of poetry. Like Carla, I liked how he phrased the section about Annabel dying, and the use of the parentheses made it seem like you really should have known that information all along. Then again, I really don't like this era, because the writing is too wordy for me; poetry really isn't my thing.

In response to Patrick's entry, I'm in agreement with him- Post-modernism is the way to go. I can relate to the fact that as the weeks have wore on, the more I really disliked the readings. It is not because the reading or stories are bad, they just are more difficult to understand. You see, I am a lazy reader, and if the story is too hard to read, then I typically set it on a shelf, and it collects dust. Because I like Kurt Vonnegut so far, I'll try to pick up Cat's Cradle and I believe I'll like it as well.
