Oct 11 Readings - Miguel

For this weeks readings I feel the shorter stories had more of an impact on me(?). Full of malice was just such an interesting and creepy story I feel like it lingered in my mind while reading the other stories. The Twitter stories was honestly confusing towards the end of it. It felt like I was reading nonsense in a way because new points were being brought up without like a full background of context with it and it all felt fast and abrupt that it just confused me when I read it. The hole reading had me a bit and then at times it was just a slow read. With the title I had expected to hear more about the hole but I didn’t expect to only see it mainly at the end of the reading. I feel like the relationship between the narrator and her husband is a sort weird one, like it’s not as if they had a bad relationship but the way the husband is always on his phone and the way the narrator assumes what/who he’s talking to. And then the mother in law was just a lot when they were moving, and I thought the mother in law from last week was a lot… I don’t know I just didn’t really like the way she controlled the place when they first were moving in, like I get that it’s a house they own but still and also the father in law having like no presence either was interesting. Talking to stuffed animals and I want to kick you in the back share this like loneliness feel in their stories that are shown in different ways. Talking to stuffed animals about ones feelings is a very lonely thing to do, while the beginning of the other story quite literally talks about loneliness and its sound of the bell and how the narrator is ripping paper to mask the sound of it from their classmates.
