I really enjoyed reading the stories The House of Asterion by Jorge Luis Borges and A Very Old Man With Enormous Wings by Gabriel Garcia Marquez. These two stories gave out something different compared to the rest of the stories that we have read in class. In my opinion, these stories were more engaging and interesting. I loved how these stories had included magic in them. I find magic to be very interesting and mind-blowing even though it might not be real. It grabs the reader’s attention more easily. While I read the stories, I thought some magical power or spell would be introduced to help the main characters throughout the situations they were in. Aside from these stories, I started to read the book I chose. I chose Beloved by Toni Morrison. I decided to pick this book because it talks about slavery and the history which I find extremely interesting even though I believe was unacceptable to treat human beings poorly because of their skin color.
