ENG 333 The Short Story: In this episode I read A&P by John Updike. This story strikes me because a seemingly small encounter really effects this young man in such a big way.

In this short episode, I share an excerpt from Discerning the Voice of God by Priscilla Shirer (Chapter 6: He Communicates Personally) Bible Verses Referenced: Isaiah 43:25, John 4:8, Romans 8:1

In this episode I read from the Holy Bible NIV version, the letter to the Ephesians by the apostle Paul.

Black Sister is a collection of poetry by Black American Women from 1746-1980, Edited with an Introduction by Erlene Stetson. In this episode I share from the Eighteenth and Nighteenth Century Poets.

I created this episode because my husband didnt have time to read the book himself for our small group. This chapter is about unrealistic expectations.

ENG 333 The Short Story : This short story is actually a chapter from Louise Erdrich’s novel Love Medicine about the lives of two families on a North Dakota Reservation.

This is a short Story written by Nicholasa Mohr and can be found in her collection El Bronx Remembered.

ENG 333 The Short Story: This is a short story written by Tillie Olsen in 1961. Its a story of a phone call from her teen daughter’s school and all that it brings up for her. I actually got emotional towards the end of reading this story. May we all be more than the dress and much more than just the iron.

ENG 333 The Short Story: In this episode I read a well known short story by Gabriel Garcia Marquez. Garcia Marquez is known to mix realistic and fantasitical ideas in his fiction and in the screen adaptation of this story he begins with a quotation from Hebrews 13:2 “Be not forgetful to entertain strangers; for thereby some have entertained angels unaware.”

ENG 333 The Short Story: This is a reading of a short story by French writer Guy de Maupassant. Its well known for the surpirise ending and hopefully serves as a warning against ungratefulness…May we never fall to vanity.
