Raymond Carver Short Story

I read the short story called Little Things by Raymond Carver.  This story was painful to read at the end because it is ambiguious about what actually happens to the baby.  You can only imagine what damage would be caused to the infant if he or she is being pulled in two different directions.  Carver uses a lot of visual imagry to allow the reader to get a sense of what the situation looks like.

I picked the short story Tuesday Siesta from the Collected Stories by Gabriel Garcia Marquez.  A siesta is a Spanish term for rest. In Spain, they have siestas in the middle of the day.  They even close the stores and shops so that everyone goes home to sleep. This photo does not necessarily describes the story, but it does describe the title.  And this picture is really funny! : )
