7/2 Readings

For the 7/2 readings, I read about a World War 2 veteran who wrote memoirs while he was on duty in the South Pacific, A girl who comes home and finds out that her sister who is only 17 years old is pregnant, and a story about the Beatles appointment with a record producer, told from the perspective of John Lennon. The last two readings were wrote by students from FSU. The World War 2 veteran was surprised that the stories that he wrote, which involved no research or hard work at all (just writings about what happened to him each day) could be published and become popular reading materials. The story about the pregnant girl I found intriguing because it was told from the perspective of her sister and how hard she had to work, even though she was the "good girl" in the family. And i liked the last one especially because it didn’t really explain that it was the Beatles because it was told in first person. The first person was John Lennon and I didn’t realize until half way through the story that the story was about the Beatles. It recapped the events up to the tragic death of John Lennon.
