Inside class reading "I know what I am Doing..."

When we first got our assigned readings of short stories, I went right into looking at the story I had chosen. I had picked "I know what I am doing about all the attention I am getting" by Frank Gannon . I saw it and noticed It was only about four pages. Great, I thought, reading these stories are going to be a breeze! HA! After reading mine and made almost NO sense of it, I went to reading the other classmates stories. I realized so far I have gotten the shortest short story yet, and even though it was shorter it was not easier to read and understand. Coming up with at least six questions for the book club was difficult to achieve. When I whipped out ten I was proud of myself. I read that story over five times trying to get it down. Tuesday came and after getting an idea of how things go from the first book club, I figured it was going to be fun to lead conversations. Turns out my story wasn't really enjoyed as much as the others and surprisingly one reason was the length! Even though I only did get three people to come to my table I was actually quite surprised on how much I learned from talking about the story with other people. I really began to understand the story and how much actually made sense! So far I have enjoyed every story read for the book clubs. They have kept my interests, and even though I am not hesitant to say that the story I had gotten isn't a favorite, I am glad I got it and had the chance to lead discussions on it, and I hope the ones who attended my table, felt they had also learned more about the story than what they had by themselves!
