Recommend "Flight Patterns"

Among the stories I have read, I would recommend “Flight Patterns” to my friend. I would recommend “Flight Patterns” to my friend because of the story deals with modern day stereotypes, which we all deal with today. I enjoy how each character develops throughout the story and think that my friend can relate to William’s character. Using characterization, William’s character is pretty much revealed and we know almost everything about him.
The story starts off describing William’s life and continues on with William getting ready to leave for the airport and saying his goodbyes to his wife and daughter. The main part of the story then comes when Williams enters a cab and starts the conversation with the cab driver, Fekadu.
The literary concept in this story is mainly Characterization. The story has details of each character. The actions and descriptions of each character reveal a lot about them and their conversation with one another reveals many things about them. Williams’s conversation with his wife reveals that he really loves her, but they can joke around and his conversation with his daughter reveals that that they both love each other and she is actually pretty smart for her age. The conversation with Fedaku reveals many things about William. How they both get stereotype and hate it, but also stereotypes others. Being a Third person omniscient, the narrator describes each character, especially William, in dept so that we know almost everything about them.
I would recommend this story to my friend because since the author uses characterization, we can find out who the characters are and in this story I think that my friends can relate to the characters and the story deals with stereotypes where we can all relate too.

FaceBook of Bartleby

From Reading the story of "Bartleby the Scrivener" I assumed that Bartleby has really no friends or family nearby. The story does not give that much information about Bartleby, but from what I have read, Bartleby seems like a very boring person who really just follows his own rules. His status could be his quote "I would prefer not to". His friends could be maybe only some of his co-workers who added him because there are just some people who add everyone they see on facebook. Most likely he would not have any pictures of him because he has no friends that would take pictures of him. With no picture, he will not have an album. His wall is going to be usually blank because no know is going to write since he does not have any friends. The only things that might be on his wall are his updates of what he is doing such as “I am staring at a wall” and “I am at the office”. There sometimes will be one or two people who will write on his walls because there are just some people who write on everyone’s walls. Of course Bartlby will probably not reply back. His info is going to be just his network, birthday, and sex because those info were automatically added when the facebook was made and does not want to add any other information about him. His profile picture is going to be blank because he does not want a picture of himself.
