It really is a great collection of stories and we have been assigned to write a comparative analysis on two of the stories. The only thing I disagree with concerning your review, is that you state none of the stories are connected; actually, that is not correct. There are three stories that have a major connection; they are: "Can a Corn", "Please", and "The Brakes". If you re-read and re-analyze each of these stories, you'll see it! :) Happy Reading!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12097502181232147833noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3291822984443127930.post-25633851887298359942013-02-26T20:36:24.420-05:002013-02-26T20:36:24.420-05:00I'm reading The Financial Lives of Poets right...I'm reading The Financial Lives of Poets right now and LOVING it so I'm definitely interested in this.Jennershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08044537551139633301noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3291822984443127930.post-43471612827265078922013-02-23T12:22:29.353-05:002013-02-23T12:22:29.353-05:00I really liked Citizen Vince and want to read his ...I really liked Citizen Vince and want to read his other books.
