Reading Response 1 Week 10

This weeks Reading response is from a short story from a collection of literary work from the savannah college of art and design. The title of the story is "Diresctions for the funeral of foxcroft Guildenbaum by foxcroft guildenbaum." Its a story about a man who has recently died and his son is reading over his will. The will that the dead man wrote is an exact replication about he wants his funeral to go and even acts as a set of instructions as to how it should be done. This story taught me some skills that would help if I were writing a fiction short story. The writer portrayed a story through the eyes of someone who is dead and those events were littered with imagery of the funeral . Things like the "unflattering gut of the average salarian woman" add imagery thats not usually used and that adds a level to the story's overall meaning. Grasping some better use of imagery could help in future works.
