The stories I like

For last two weeks, my classmates in the writing class and I were working on some interesting short stories. All the stories were about a page and had a surprised ending. Then, we should record them and make a video. In my perspective, three of them are the most excellent ones among these stories.

The one I liked the best was Amanda’s video, called “The witch”. Witches were mostly scary in fairy tales, but not that much in this story. Amanda woke up at one o’clock weirdly, and she saw a witch, which made her terrified extremely. Actually, it was just her coat on the chair. I liked her descriptive language. For example, when she implied how afraid she was, she said, “I muffled my mouth to keep myself from shouting out loud.” She had clear imaginations, such as ”The blurry face reminded me of the witch in medieval time”. The pictures in the video were also in a black mode. They seemed so dark that give the audiences the same feeling of coldness and timidity. Those things combined and gave people a great version of her story. However, the only weakness was her voice is not apropos enough in the story.

The second one I like was Nancy’s “The Blur”. Her story was totally different from mine and the others’ stories. She told about a foggy day in China and that’s the weather she liked the most. However, when she rushed to the window and breathed, she only found the smell of air pollution. It funny and made me remind the experience when I was at home. I’m sure that everybody might have the same experience, especially in China. The ending is dramatically. Also, I liked the part that she talked with her mom. When she first smell the fog, she said, “The air came into my throat immediately, and made me want to puke! It almost smothered me!” And she soon told her mom that, “Remember to take a respirator with you when you go outside mom, because there is serious haze pollution outside.” It’s a big contrast between the forwardness that she wanted to breathe in the fog and the disgust when she found the fog was pollution.

Lastly, I like Sophia’s story, called “Biological Father”. It’s a strange name, but implied her story moderately. The plot was normal, but she told the story in a unusual way. Sophia and her father were outside in a cold weather but Sophia wore a little. She thought his father would take off his sweater and give it to her, but after a long time, he just zipped the zip more tightly. I can’t imagine that I would feel so funny when somebody expect something so much but they just got disappointed totally until I listen Sophia’s story. She humorous and described the whole event in a interesting way. She also have a good ending which supported her topic, “At last, I look at my biological father with a heart of glass in the signer, which is madly mocking at me.”

All the stories were nice and I hope we would all study things during this projects. Also, I hope people would write more stories, so I can read them all.
