Fleur

The story about the woman Fleur was somewhat confusing at parts, but still a good story. I like how in the beginning and throughout the story there is a sense of mysticism related to this girl. In the beginning people who associate with her mysteriously die and there is a sense of superstition. I think it is sort of ludicrous, but people in the story kept their distance. The question of her baby's daddy is interesting. The story doesn't give you closure, but you can somewhat assume what happened, but it is still open for interepretation.

The story is very detailed, and I'm glad it is. If the story contained less detail I wouldn't want to read. The imagery helps you get a vivid sense of the story and these details help you create the scenarios in your mind when reading. After reading the end of the story you are left with the same amount of mystery about Fleur as you are presented with in the beginning, and that is what I liked about the story.

  1. I also liked this story though it
    s mystery left me wanting a little more in the end. But I think that's what the author was going for. Character's in the story kept their distance from Fluer because they didn't understand her but the reader wanted to know more about her.
