I really enjoyed some of the stories we've read over the past couple of weeks. Specifically, I liked the Bakery Attack series, along with Barn Burning and Cathedral. It was cool to see two very different film adaptations of the Bakery Attack stories. They took vastly different approaches to the material, and I think the first one was more effective than the second. The second felt a little clunkier and cornier, versus the first which was strange, surreal, and artistic. Barn Burning and Cathedral were cool to read as a pair. The parallels between the two were clear as day, and I wasn't sure which I liked more. Overall, it's been nice to see such a range of stories in the content we're reading. There's stylistic similarities between a lot of them, but the content itself covers a real range of topics.
