Blog #3 "The Yellow Wallpaper" By: Charlotte Perkins Gilman (reflections)
In the textbook of "Literature", we were assigned by the instructor to read another short story called "The Yellow Wallpaper", by Charlotte Perkins Gilman. At first whenever I read the title of the short story, the title is described about a room filled with yellow in the walls, which that explains why is the title called "The Yellow Wallpaper." Actually, I find this story weird because the story explains not just the wallpaper, but it explains that the characters of the story went to a colonial mansion, and they believe that the house is amazing. However, the author thinks that the yellow painted room is utterly dull, because the color us "repellent." No one ever like to go to a room filled with yellow around the walls of the room. But the author said that the wallpaper was torn off into pieces. I wouldn't have tell the short story that I had read to my friends, but the story of the yellow wallpaper seemed very awkward and I don't really feel like reading this short story again.

Blog #2 " A Sound of Thunder" by Ray Bradbury (Reflections)
Hi! Kevin, here. So the book I read is called "A Sound of Thunder" by Ray Bradbury. The I find that short story very interesting, because there are many weird things that happened throughout the story. It's about when the characters of the story traveled through time with their own time machine. They traveled in the past knowing that it was an competition. It is really a good story, but later something happened when they traveled back to the present, the world became upside down, like someone is going crazy about it. The story reminded me one of the comic books that I have read for a long time, but this story is different from that because the author is very creative on writing the story. I would recommend it to a friend of mine, because he likes reading fictional stories.

Blog #1 "The Tell-Tale Heart" By: Edgar Allan Poe (Reflections)
In the reading "The Tell-Take Heart" by Edgar Allan Poe, I felt like something happened recently, because the narrator tells his story about how he finds himself in vain. However I am truly interested about this short story, not just because that I like dark stories, but its because that the author liked his old man, but during the night, the part of the story starts to make me interested about how the author himself and the old man were afraid that death is approaching to them every night. I love this short story and it makes me feel impressed, because whenever I read this story, the darkness consumes the narrator and the old man whenever they could experience fear and terror. I just think that reading this story reminds me of the comic book that I've just read.
