Discuss the assigned short story and Respond to peers’ posts, 1 paragraph for each.1. From QianIf you had to advise the author of this story, which revision exercise (from the options in this module) would you recommend, and why?After I read this story, I realized I can’t tell the narrative arc of this story. This story seems like a week-to-week account of a woman’s long journey, and it is too plain so I can’t identify the turning point. I think the last sentence of this story might have some meaning behind it, so I wonder what you think.I will recommend the author to do Adding and Subtracting exercise because I think this story lacks a focal point. There are a lot of paragraphs that seem not that important, so I think the story will look better if he deletes some unnecessary parts and adds more meaningful details.2. From NijjWhat’s left out of this story? Why?I believe what’s left out in this story is the purpose to why Carla is actually counting the miles of every place that she goes to. Throughout the story, Carla repetitively counted every mile that her and her husband travelled to each place. It became so repetitive that in my mind, I thought this story was quite boring and led to nowhere. At first I thought Carla was counting miles because she was afraid of spending too much money; however, Carly still went to unnecessary places like bowling and shopping so I don’t think she did it out of money purpose. What’s also left out to me is the ending of this story. Like what I said, I think this story leads to nowhere and I am still left with confusion when finished reading this story.3. From jiaDoes the ending resonate? Why or why not? If not, give us a new endingI feel that while the story doesn’t have a clear or complete narrative arc, the ending does resonate with me. The author describes painting the colors of the northern lights as she is driving and looking at them. This gave me a clear image in my head of a sky with many vibrant colors and the sun setting. Additionally, the author goes on to describe driving miles and miles until she was out of reach of distance itself. With this, the author is helping us realize their feelings about driving and the emotions and thoughts about covering a long distance and the impact of the sky and environment on an individual.
