Le Guin’s work was really interesting and I enjoy how mysterious the story was. I love fiction and I really enjoy the thriller on Suspense stories. I enjoy how Le Guin was very detailed because it allows the audience to visualize what the author is saying. It was a little confusing in the start but towards the end everything started to clear up. I enjoy the Plot Twist where the husband was a werewolf and I was surprised because of the suspense that followed before that when she thought her husband was cheating. My question to Le Guin is “Why have the audience guessing?”. This was a really interesting story and I really enjoyed it.

Office Hours: Tuesdays and Thursdays, 11:30 AM – 12:30 PM. I’ll be available through Zoom and will send an invitation via email that you should keep all semester. Try to join my meeting at the start of the hour, not at the end—since I may be talking to other students or have another appointment after the hour is up. If those times don’t work with your schedule, we can schedule a different time. This means you’ll have to schedule an appointment in advance. I suggest you have multiple times in mind, since your schedule may not mesh with mine!
I’m not quite sure this was a thriller. I was more invested in the mystery than the scare factor of the story because of how roundabout the descriptions were. It was obviously setting something up, but it took until the end for the story to pay off.
I can agree with the story being odd to follow at first. Once we were given a little bit more info I was able to piece things together quite easily. The one minor change in the twist just goes to show how using info to help us visualize scenes can help set us up for whats to come.
