Fiction Writing

     When we first got our assignments to read the first fiction packet I was kinda confused. The short stories seemed a lot like the poetry we had been reading. As i read more and read the second fiction packet I discovered there were some differences. Each of the stories actually had a character. The character may have not had a name, but there was a person or character in the story. Also each story seemed to have a theme that went a long with the story. These are actually stories and that is what makes the difference.
     With reading the second packet I noticed many differences with the story besides the actual story itself. In the first story, Internal, you can see it uses headings in each different section to almost break the story up. In the second story, Point and Line, it seems a lot more spaced out then the other two. Some of the "paragraphs" only have one or two sentences in them, which sets it apart from the other stories. There is also writing on almost the edges of the page that are not in line with the other words. I like that feature, it makes those words stand out more. The third story, Close Range, is written like any other normal story I have read.
    Out of all of the three longer stories my favorite would have to be Internal. The first thing that drew me into this story was that it is about the health care field which is something I am interested in. I also like the headings in this story. To me it seems to break it up and lets your mind rest for a minute and take it all in. I also like the over all story. I like how the intern is set out to study two separate patients, which are both the doctors he is working for "brother". As the story goes on and on the intern seems to becoming almost crazy. In the end you are left wondering if the patient he is studying is actually studying him It's almost like a mystery and I liked how it left me wondering.
