EXTENSIVE READING PART ONE

THE NIGHT IN THE HOTEL BY  SIEGFRIED  LENZ

The night in the hotel is a short story, as I read through the story it  reminds me greatly when I was a little child and how my parents showered me with so much love and care , especially  whenever I requested or asked something from them as far as  going extra mile to see that I get what I want  even if it means  for them to go and borrow just to make me happy.  

However, the language used was quite concise and easy to read and understand, and even the description used was well explanatory, especially at the end to see that his son was happy. Although he knew he could not make the early morning train to wave back to his son. Furthermore, the style and   variation in the length of the sentences were concise and well explanatory.

Moreover, judging from the story itself insights of human nature is kindness, love and care, irrespective of the fact that the stranger had no child of his own but went as far as helping a fellow stranger like himself.  

To conclude, after reading the story it can be seen that a problem shared is a problem half solved. Also if  I am to rate  this  story  I  will score it above average  because it was well explanatory and understood.

BUTTERFLIES   BY  ROGER  DEAN  KISER

The  story butterflies  is  an absolutely  beautiful  and simple story, although  heartbreaking. The  story reminds  me  of my aunt who was  childless and had to adopt  a seven years old boy from an orphanage home – my heart was moved to see the pain and hurt  that child must have passed through.

However, the language used was simple and the words used were  concise  and well explanatory , besides the style  of the  story was very poetic making the  length of the sentences easy to understand. Furthermore the description of the  sentences I liked  most  was when the little boy  tried putting the pieces  of  the butterflies back together with his spittle just to bury  them  which was quite   touching.

In other words  after reading  the story, it  really touched my heart because it shows the  cruelty and  wickedness  of human  nature  that is to say  most humans  blessed with  beautiful creature around  them don’t  realize its value  and existence.  

In conclusion,  after  reading   through this story  ’butterflies’   it was really heart breaking although a beautiful  piece of writing  because of its simplicity  based on the style  and writing of the story, so I will rate it  to  be an  excellent  piece .

ZAINAB   BY  SHARIFAH ASH-SHAMLAN

The story  Zainab  is a  story full of suspense from the beginning to the end, which was  difficult to comprehend because it doesn’t explain the reasons that lead to  her  disappearance. As I was reading through  the story, it reminds  me of an African movie  I watched  relating to a depressed  woman who suffered in the hands of her own husband  and in-laws, so  mysteriously  she  disappeared  only  for her corpse to be  discovered   along a bush path.

However,  the language  and expression used  are   concise and well written  for the reader to understand , furthermore the style  of the story  involved a lot of dialogue  because  the  story itself is full of suspense

In  view of this ,judging from the  story  which is  based on human nature trust is the bone of contention  because  Zainab’s husband  as well as her  relatives and friends suspects her of  indulging in immoral acts  the more reason why  the story  at the beginning  was a bit confusing.

Notwithstanding, after reading  the story  which  was full of suspense  to me, the writer  did not give detailed  explanation  on  why and how her body  got into the  large  freezer.

To  sum up briefly, I would  rate  this  story  average  because  the writer  did  not  provide detailed   explanation  to the whole scenario  of  event  making the story  confusing  to the reader.
