This third partial we are reading in our English class short stories from translated works of different authors. We have seen stories of Kafka, Salih, Chekhov and others. This stories take no more than fifteen minutes to read them, but they can help us to analyze a lot of things that are hidden and the author wants us to discover.
What I like about the stories we are reading is that they are short compared to the novel we were reading and other stories; they are also fast to read them. I like that some of the authors of this short stories are known, like Kafka.Also I like that in our classroom each of us have an opinion about the stories we are reading and discover together the answers to the what, how and why of this stories. What sometimes I do not like about this short stories is that because they are translated works, sometimes we cannot discover all what the author really wanted to say in his or her stories. This is due to the different meanings that words can have when we translate them to another language like Spanish or English. Because of the origin of the stories, I also do not like that I get confused in some terms and names that are not from the English language.
I am liking that from short stories we are going to make a comparison and constrast essay, which sounds easy but we have to read carefully the stories for making a good job.
