Some short ones to review!
Misconceptions By Shreder: Often these "confessional" types of posts online are a pain to read, as they reflect the stupidity of humanity since many bloggers don't seem to know the fundamentals of how to write a good narrative. This piece, on the other hand, was very tactfully done, attempting to tackle the question, "What is the nature of true happiness?" It was purposeful and moral, and I'm glad to see such a story in this book. I might have liked to see a greater description of the joy that the narrator received after his conversion, but on the other hand, the piece's simplicity is its appeal.
Once upon a time on a beautiful day by Ilø€IMPERIAL€ølI: This was another "confessional" piece, although the take on it was much different than Shreder's. It was much more descriptive and metaphorical, sometimes to the point where the reader could not distinguish the metaphors from the description. I loved the detail that you put into such concise events and the way that you showed the reader the narrator's perception of the world rather than just depicting reality. While it seemed abstract and confusing at times, the message came together at the end.
