So, our English class just finished reading two short stories and we have been discussing about them in class. I don't think that I ever have read two stories that we so weird. don't get me wrong though, calvino's (i think thats how you spell it) stories are really good. He has this way of being able to make writing for an adult, but having the plot set in a three year old's mind. What i mean is that he can be using the character to represent human race as a dinosaur(this is from the story The Dinosaurs)
The Dinosaurs is a really good short story that shows what humans can show to each other when they come inn contact with differences.We aren't really good with that. But, this story can also help make people understand how to become better at accepting differences.
After discussing this story inn class, I found the story heading in a new direction: Q's identity.
Q really ha a hard time finding himself, and with the situations he faces it seems to be as if he is multiple things.
We also read another story called The Aquatic Uncle. I found this story to be my favorite because of the plot and conflict that cam in it. It had multiple conflicts that the character has to face but the main is Q trying to have a relationship with his uncle. Now, his Uncle has game for taking Q's girl, but he is really mad all the time. Q finds himself not being able to open up with his uncle because of the difference that builds a wall between them. Q is on and off water, while his uncle is just in water.
Calvino's stories do not just provide a story for people to read and just get over with it, it lets the reader feel what the characters feel and be in the story. Because of such level of conflicts this story brings it makes it more exciting. I also like these books because they create a lot of discussions in class. We sometimes get so caught up we don't even finish. Calvinos stories are not just some boring books, they open people's eyes to small stories with big morals.
