World For Sale:
This story was confusing and difficult for me follow. There were a few times where I thought I knew what was going on and then the author would put a paragraph into the story that completely broke the flow. I would then try to figure out what the hell was trying to be said and then I would forget about the original idea. I also felt like the story jumped back and forth between past and present time, some times in consecutive paragraphs, this also made it difficult to follow the story line. I was especially confused about the people who were supposed to be dead but then they were alive again until the final paragraphs when the story seemed to be slightly more focused. I did feel like the title was clever but it did not really have anything to do with the story aside from the end where the author haphazardly threw in that Emin, the main character, wanted to buy the world.
Such A Story and Barba Antimos:
These two stories were so confusing to me that I could barely get past the first few pages. And even after reading each page I didn’t know what I had just read. I am curious as to what the Turkey group wanted us to learn from these stories, but we never got to have that in class discussion, so Turkey group feel free to comment and let me know J. Maybe there is some kind of meaning with in the text, but I am having terrible difficulties finding any kind of meaning because these stories don’t seem to follow a single plot line and stick to an understandable flow.
