Wreckage of Reason

Cottage Life- Masha Tupitsyn 

The beginning part seemed to be talking to mother, but using her (narrator's) body for the description. Went on to describe a male and showing him herself for the first time. Which she went on to describe about how hard it is to take off her shirt because of a birthmark on her breast. But would much rather show everything else, because of her self-consciousness. 

it was a very short story but was very descriptive. In describing the attic one could almost feel like they were in a musty/dusty attic.

The Woman- Nina Shope  

This one describes the relationship in what seems to be of two women, and them playing doctor.

It used a lot of words I was/still am unfamiliar with. The story seemed to jump thoughts a lot, which made it hard for me to follow.

The Derech-Rosebud Ben-Oni

The conversation between a gypsy woman, and an Arab man? They talk about the differences between gypsies in different areas, and whether or not a language exists. She at first seemed as if she was arguing with him. It seemed kind of like a debate, but they seem to have turned around in to a couple? Nothing really about this story seemed unique, just a story written like a traditional story. But used words from other languages that I do not know, which made parts of it hard to understand without looking them up. Sometimes one could gather the meaning from the context and the words preceding it.

You a Love/War Story- Summer Brenner

Beginning started out like any other story of a love that has lost its luster over time.

I think this was apart of the story, it went on to letters being written to Frankie and his family. Then turns into a job-opening ad. When the story went to this it was really hard to figure out what was going on. 

Black Wings- Amina Cain 

This one seems to jump around a lot, which makes it hard to follow. The story is also strange in my eyes because the woman says that she is asexual, finds a man to just read with. The man agrees to only read books with her and doesn't think about her often. Most men wouldn't want to be with a woman who is asexual; at least I wouldn't think so. At the end she says that she doesn't know what she is (asexual or not) which is a stereotype of women, they don’t know what they want.
