Raymond Carver

The short story that I found catchy was Little Things.I liked this short story because it's very dramatic and realistic at the same time.It seems like its an everyday scene in people's life. It was also a very clear story there was nothing grotesque about it. Raymond Carver's short sories differ from Gabriel Garcia Marquez' because Carver's are more dramatic but clear. It's more realistic then Marquez's fictional stories. It was not grotesque or ironic like Marquez's short stories. Definitely not confusing at all.

Gabriel Garcia Marquez

    This picture I took when I went to San Carlos, MX this past spring break, reminded me of Gabriel Garcia Marquez tale The Incredible and Sad Tale of Innocent Erendira and Her Heartless Grandmother. It reminded me so much of this tale because San Carlos is also a desert, and everytime they would mention the sea this is what came to my mind.

Times I've been a rhinoceros and a Berenger

      I have been a rhinoceros usually in the beginning of every quarter when classes begin. I get lazy, conformed and don't feel like working hard or studying and doing homework. I think everyone is that way in the beginning, but then we get into a school mode and evnetually I picked up my pase.
      I have been a Berenger at work. I work at a bank, and when it came down to sales and referrals for the month of December I wanted to be number one and be distinguished. I tried my best to be ahead of everyone I wasn't conformed with having less referrals like everyone else. I ended up getting the most sales, and it was very satisfactory to me.
