This summer I didn’t do anything surprising or too exciting due to COVID-19. For the summer I usually travel with my mom or stay in NYC and go on roadtrips, picnics and many adventures with my family and friends. However, something that I did this summer that made me feel good was spending extra time with my family. 

Out of the three stories my favorites were “The Lottery” and “The Black Cat” but if I had to choose one I’ll say “The Black Cat”. “The Lottery” which I’ve read before therefore, it was not as surprising/exiting because I already knew what was going to happen. However, “The Black Cat” took me by surprise because I was not expecting the events of the story.

I liked the story “The Black Cat” the most because I didn’t expect the main character who loved his wife and animals was going to end up murdering his favorite animal (the cat) and his wife. He ended up being an alcoholic and murderer with extremely bad temper. This story was dark and dramatic  which made it even more exciting. I really enjoy reading this story.
