Different Ways of Weighing the Same Short Story
Thoughts after 2012 Best Short Stories Appreciation class.
A fundamental starting point is what weight you give to Style and what weight you give to Substance.
You write a thoughtful and insightful reflection on our short story class. The stories were varied which allowed commentary on situations that were foreign to our personal experiences but we could all relate to in a human way. The class was most interesting when there were significant differences in how we responded to a story and one is left thinking that is a unique way to experience this situation. I was glad to be in the company of so many thoughtful people who presented their ideas creatively. As for men/women???
