Fear

I like being scared. I dont think i am easily scared but when somebody pulls it off i think its alot of fun. There are certain thyings that alone scare me such as snakes, spiders, and roller coasters but the thing about roller coastersis oncei get on i have fun the lead up to it is the bad part. I think a good definition for madness is One who has lost hold of what is right, wrong, and rational. I think one of the leading causes for driving people to madness is money. When you think about it people work for it, kill for it, die hoping they have it, and go to school hoping their education will bring it. I think anyone can go "crazy" under enough pressure of any kind.

1.Some people read storys to gain knowledge, other read just to escape from their current situations. I guess everybody has a different reason to read books because books always mean a different thing to every individual person. This story means...well nothing for a change.

2. You are about to read one of the most bland short storys ever written. This story is about a simple man named ed who does nothing but live. Ok, maybe if your one of those people who can listen to any song and find some meaning (that the artist probably didn't mean) then maybe you will find some remote meaning to this story but i must warn you that chance is very unlikley.

3. DEATH! There now that i've got your attention you are about to read a wonderful short story about nothing. Its full of un-climactic paragraphs followed by zero jokes. You will find no exclimations in this story so enjoy your read.

4.This is a story about a man named Ed. Ed has no hobbies or commitments. Ed does not like movies long walks on the beach..or beaches for that matter. This is a story abotu the death of Ed.

5.Ed is a middle aged divorced man who lives alone in the hills of california. He works at home selling real estate and never really goes out. Ed is going to die today.

Where are you going? where have you been?

I felt like the peice was very confusing and hard for me to keep up with. On one hand the characters seemed pretty normal untill arnold friend came along, i got the impression he was a rapist and a stalker of some sort. Connies character was a typical teenage girl she seemed very easily convinced and eager to impress. i get the impression that in the end she goes against her negative feelings for him and ends up dissapearing. Arnold symbolizes the angry and cast out people of society.
