No limits
Oedipus The king by the author Sophocles before reading I thought this story was going to be about kingdom and owner of land and people fighting to be king.So exactly was I expected from this story that's what it's about almost exactly what I thought,in this story the character would do anything to become king and kill anyone to become the king also what I don't like about this story is the killing part to get what you want kill others.it's kind of scary to do so or think about it.This story is kind of sad especially the way Oedipus was brought up.I wouldn't really recommend this story to anyone cause it's very scary and creepy

River
The poem Ask Me by William Stafford was totally nothing I expected before reading it.I thought it was just going to be an ordinary poem in which the author tells you about more poetry than reality,but in this poem the author is mostly sharing his perosnal feeling and what happen in his life his passpt experience.I would definitely recommend this poem to someone because it is very interested and every has a meaning we can definitely relate to those lines.
Reality
The Storm by Kate Chopin before reading this story I thought that the title has alot to do with the story and indeed so.What I like the most about this story is that it shows you how a storm can pass by and hit you and goes back to normal meaning someone can have a fantasy but eventually will realize what is reality.I would recommend this story because it reminds us not to get carried away by distractions because when it's all over we are back to reality.
Blue eye
The Tell-Tale Heart by Edgar Allan Poe.Before reading this short story I thought the narrator was going talk about his experience with the old man.What I didnnt like about this story is that the narrator was obsessed with the old man's eye I think this was scary and I wouldn't recommend this story to someone because it's bit weird and scary.

Lost in the wall
The Yellow Wallpaper by Charlotte Perkins Gilman before reading this short story I thought that this story was about the color of the wall or maybe someone is obsessed with the wall being yellow.What I like the most about this story is that at the end the pose stand up for herself and tell her off husband off and he felt shock now she is in controlled.She was finally free and didnt depend on her husband.I would definitely recommend this short story to a friend because it explains how important it is to stand up for yourself.
