Short stories.

In this assignment we are suppose to Google short stories and take down the most interesting website.

          The first site I opened was Short stories to read . I liked it, because it was just a short list of titles. The titles are all so catchy that I would like to read them all. I took a pick and read the first story The four wives.  It was very educational, I recommend reading it. It is funny how much education and inspiration you can get from a few sentences.   The story is about a man who has four wives and he loves the fourth one the most and the first one the least, but the first one loves him the most and the fourth one loves him the least. In the story he is dieing, he is very afraid to die alone. None of the wives want to die with him except the first one because she loves him the most. The story teaches us that we all have four wives, the 4. is our body, which leaves us when we die. The 3. our possessions, status and wealth, when we die they all go to others. The 2. is your family and friends, and they can't follow us further than the grave. But the 1. one is your sole and it goes everywhere with you, if you are dead or alive.  It teaches us that we should respect our soul the most, we should cultivate and strengthen it now while we are alive and well, instead of doing it on our deathbed. 

           Here are many more short stories, at the classic reader.  These are all in alphabetical order, you can chose alphabetical order by authors or by titles.  There are so many stories in her that I can't decide what to read. There is more organisation in this website than in the other one. Some people like to have a lot to choose from and some people like the organisation. I really just find it hard to choose, when there is to much to choose from.

         

           Here is a site with only 20 stories, that is my kind of style. I always thing I am missing something so I'd rather read 20 short stories than being afraid to miss the good ones on a site with 1000 short stories. ( I know it doesn't make sense, I am kind of weird when it comes to stuff like that). But the site is american literature., and it has only 20 short stories for everybody to read.

         

          There is a one more site that I would like to put on here, I didn't find it on Google, but I find some of the stories very funny. These are many true short stories.  I't is kind of a project, called The virginity project. It is just a blog that one woman writes, she gets sent stories to her email and then she rewrites the stories (to an appropriate story) and puts them on her blog. Thousands of people read this blog. I like to read it when I don't have anything to do, it sometimes gets people to laugh. 

           You can also get short stories in sound and video form. There are often short stories on the radio, like radio one. I remember my father telling me about when he was a kid, there was no TV on the farm he lived on only one radio, every Thursday night there where short stories on the radio, the whole family would gather around the radio with mattresses, they would lie and listen together to the short stories.

         People also make movies out of short stories, here is a list of books and short stories that have been made into films.
