reading upon reading

I've read three different short stories over the past week and annotated them. 

Those three were

-Araby by: James Joyce

-The Cat by: Andrew Barton Patterson 

-Aloha Oe by: Jack London

Each short story took about 30 minutes each including the annotating. 

I started back up on The Fault in Our Stars and read 30 minutes.

Honestly the one that I most enjoyed most was  The Cat, this one attracted me by the name because cats are the ish. This story basically brought out a cat's actual life instead of what humans think or believe their lives consist of. The cat's lives claim to be more exciting than humans. It was definitely an interesting story.

My second favorite was Araby, written by James Joyce. It was just cute to me how the young boy had been admiring this girl living across the street from him. Him finally getting courage to talk to her and stuff. The only reason it is my second favorite is because the ending through me off. I was very confused, I know he arrived at this fancy business place but the description and the thoughts from the narrator scrambled me up. 

The last one I read was Aloha Oe, written by Jack London. In my opinion I didn't enjoy this one. It was long and very hard to comprehend. Being bored from the start I know through me off to not try as hard to understand it as I did with the others. The characters and what actually was going on was when I got lost.
