First Impressions


1 Was the short story enjoyable? No
I found this short story to be very dull and wasn't descriptive

2 Was the short story easy to read? Yes
It used very simplistic language, but was difficult to try and see the point or the direction of the story

3 Would you recommend the short story to your peers? No
I found this story to be pointless and directionless with no plot

Personal Response: I found this story to be incredibly boring. All it is 5 poorly written paragraphs. It is written as if your already new exactly what was going on and someone just gave you there point of view

One relevant detail from the text: This entire text was written as if I knew what was going on but this is one persons point of view.

Another relevant detail: The entire text is written to the reader. It refers to the reader as "dearie" several times throughout the text
