Annotated 3 Stories


The 3 stories I have chosen to read and annotate were Sucker, An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge, and Araby. They all have somewhat interesting titles that make you want to read the stories. After reading each of the titles, you can predict many plot lines to each story. I made many conclusions after finishing all the stories. Most of the stories were long and hard to comprehend, but I did it.

 I never knew how much I could really connect with the story. Sucker actually really changed my mind of heart. My cousin Josephine, we call her Josie is always left out. She has always been the closest with me, but I need to watch my words and what I say to her because she does take in every little thing I say. Not only Sucker but the other stories as well. Every story virtually has a message. You can take that message differently than others but the author is writing the story to send a message in most cases. Taking the story in is something different. I have to make the story personal to usually understand the story. I put the characters in my shoes and plug them in as people in my life, and I understand the stories much better.

  1. I really loved how you included a personal connection. It will make the story more meaningful, and I feel as though this connection may help you when creating your analysis. I really enjoyed reading this because I only read "An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge." Great job Ellie! Keep up the good work(:

  2. I agree that the ones that we have to read now are harder to understand. I love your blog, and I think you have good choices for your analysis!
