Fiction packet two was much more enjoyable and easier to relate to. It had multiple stories in it which I found easier to connect to because they had more of a premise and purpose. The first story was contagion which was written in a very interesting way. So much detail, ironically so considering the job he held with his boss. The sections provided different avenues through which to follow the story, aside from the interesting writing style and sections I thought this story was one of the more dull ones.
In fact, I found that most of the stories were dull. In writing a short story you have to pack a lot of punch in a small space and these just required more attention and content than they offered to enjoy them. "People In Hell.." was better than the others however.
Overall, I found that the short stories were much more enjoyable. When we discuss them in class I have a feeling we will have more to say seeing the fact there is more real content.
Ok, say more, expand. Good ideas here, just go a bit further. 7/10
