On Being a Real Westener

Remembrance: On Being a Real Westerner by Tobias Wolff
1. This, to me was a perfectly well-told story it was perfectly balanced and it kept me hooked to the main story line, it did not go off into a tangent and it maintained it balance.
2. There was perfect presentation of places and people, it was a story where I felt as if I was there in the same place as the story was told. The dialogue was hardly there but unlike the other stories that were read this story, in some way, kept its worth and stuck with me.
3. the significance of the memory is still there and it is a strong and powerful significant memory.

An american Childhood

Remembrance: An American childhood by Annie Dillard
1. To me its not a well told story, it is bland and dull, it tries to be a well told story but the fact that the reader has to attempt to understand why all of this is going on making this story too complex.
2. There is too much presentation of places and people but little to no dialogue in the story. it is as if she is leaving too much to the readers imagination and i do not like it.
3. The significance of the memory is hardly there again there is too much to the readers imagination, it should have been a a clear cut significance of the memory and too many references as to what it may be.

Calling Home

Well I am not sure how we are supposed to do this but I will do it the best way I know of doing,
Remembrance: Calling Home by Jean Brandt
1. I feel it is a well told story because it is a complete and detailed essay. it is well-rounded and it somewhat interesting in its way of describing.
2. I enjoyed that fact that there was dialogue, but to me there was too much dialogue and it was a little irritating in my opinion; I feel that with a little less dialogue It would have still been a good story.
3. It does state the significance of the memory but i did not like the fact that after she state the significance of the memory, she ends the story.
