Coffeehouse #2 – Russell Zeng

From my point of view, “A Story Told to Me by a Friend” is the story I liked the most because it was relatable and realistic. It was a story about a person meeting someone online and getting to know each other. The two men were very compatible with each other and had similar interests. They were in love and it seem like the perfect relationship. After a while, they decided to meet each other but unfortunately one of the men had died of a heart attack before they had the chance to. The story was relatable to me because it shows life can be unpredictable and once a lifetime opportunity can be gone in an instant. I would be devastated if I wasn’t able to meet the person who I really liked and spend a lot of time getting to know. I can also see this happening in my life and it can be terrifying to think about. The story also showed me not to take things for granted because they could be gone before you know it. This story was also most realistic to me because it made sense and I can see how the events in the story can possibly happen. Some stories I didn’t like because they seem pointless after the reveal or ending. – Russell Zeng
