There is a few favorite stories that I read this semester that I would not mind reading again.
I remember reading "The things they carried" and finding so many meanings to it. To me it was odd, because usually I don't do that, I'm not the type to think out side the box and figure out the meanings, but for this story it was so easy.
Also the poem "A Chinese banquet" was also a memorable piece. It was interesting to read about a gay couple and how their families do not accept them. I've always wondered what they have to go through with their families, and this poem gave me one scenario of what they go through.
And lastly, "A Good man is Hard to Find" was also a favorite story to read. Its a favorite because of the unexpected ending. I was shocked when the misfit ends up killing everyone, I really thought he was going to end up being that "good man" that is hard to find.
These are just my top 3 favorite literature that we read this semester, there was others that I liked as well but I was able to connect with some of these or their are my favorite because it was entertaining for me to read.

I forgot about "The Things They Carried" so I'm glad you reminded me! That was a great story. On the surface, it seemed sort of dry but once I started reading between the lines, so many meanings started appearing. I agree that "A Chinese Banquet" is a memorable piece. I also listed that one as one of my favorites. I had never really thought about what life must be like for a gay couple or person, so to see it through that perspective was intriguing. For that reason, I also enjoyed reading "Commitments."
