Good & Bad

The short story that I didn’t enjoy was In Vancouver by Martin Allerdale Grainger. I never got into this story like I did with the other ones. There wasn’t an interesting part of the story that grabbed me. I found it to be more of a documentary about loggers rather than a story. The story didn’t have a climax which would’ve help me to remember this story. The story that I found the most interesting was A Cup of Coffee by Dorothy Livesay. I enjoyed this story more because I could actually picture this event happening and I could place myself seeing this situation take place. Even though A Cup of Coffee is a short story it still manages to have a conflict, climax and resolution. You automatically think that all the problems will be solved and young Tommy will be able to go live with Jan and have a happy life. But since Hilda wants to keep her son Nick isn’t satisfied and he still wishes he could be part of his son’s life. I also enjoyed this story because it is such a real event that is happening everyday.
