Assessment short story



1. Are there any prominent symbols in the story?
If so, what are they and how are they used?

Yes I believe there is prominent in this story. Story kept leading into a direction about the author life. He gave some examples or clues throughout the story, telling where he went and what he was doing there. Also he was trying to write to some person he loves so much, but he felt something was missing. Like in this example " I understand why you left, that first time. You knew there was something missing and i knew it too. I just couldn't tell you." In this part I felt that the author was missing something between him and that person. I also felt that there was emotion in this love story.

2.What connection did you make with the story? Discuss the elements of the work with which you were able to connect.

The story to me felt like a diary or a letter to me. It also felt heart breaking and memories of the time he had spent with that person that he loved so much.
He gave details of memories of his life and clues what he did.
The thing that worked for me as a connection in this story was the clues.
 Example:
" I am recording this because I just gave you the key to my place, and although we've had "boundary talk" several times these things will happen and I wanted to have a chance to explain."
In this part he wanted his lover to go to his house and tell about his feelings, saying sorry. This part made a connection for me because it felt like a long distance relationship between each other.

3. what changes would you make to adapt this story into another medium? What medium would you use? What changes would you make?

I would change the wording and give it cursive writing. The medium I would preferrer to this story would be a letter. I would have the location of the place and tell about his lover more and describe the time. Not just jumping around the place, like it was hard to understand what time or place he was going at.
