Reading Response 10-28-13

           I went on the website http://www.americanliterature.com/100-great-short-stories and found Desiree's Baby by Kate Chopin, Regret by Kate Chopin, and The Diary of a Madman by Guy de Maupassant. I found Regret to be the most interesting story, and I felt that I read this story thoroughly, and I also think that this story will be used mostly in my literary analysis. I annotated all three setting, point of view, and character. I had the idea of going back to Regret and using all of the literacy elements to annotate it again.
         The story that is the least important to me is The Diary of a Madman because it was about a murderer, and it was kind of disturbing and I don't think I will look into it more. I also Desiree's Baby to be very confusing and difficult to read. Regret was my favorite because it was about an old women regretting not getting married and having children. One day her neighbor with four kids comes over and asks to babysit her kids for a week, so she does, and when the kid leaves she gets very depressed and regretful.
