Reflection 10/31

This week, we read “Now We Are Five” by David Sedaris and “Strawberry Spring” by Stephen King. I enjoyed “Strawberry Spring” a lot and it didn’t feel like an ‘assigned reading’. It felt like I was reading a story in my leisure time. I liked the mystery element and how clueless the narrator seemed despite being the culprit. I suspected the narrator of being the killer from the beginning because he seems a little too observant and practical the entire time. From his observations, everyone else around him was paranoid and freaking out but his fear seemed minimal. I wonder what might have caused him to start the murders again at the end. Also, I wonder why the particular campus is of interest to him. Why is that his target area for murder? I wonder why he might have chosen that girl who studied art as his victim. There are a lot of parts to the story that leave me curious.
