Reading Practice~ Focusing on "Voice"

Practice number one- I read a story called "The Alien Encounter". It was written by Kirby Belle. I found out the ending of the story was a little bit confusing, but the beginning was very interesting; it grabbed my attention. By reading the first paragraph, I am able to figure out the author must be very romantic, because he used a lot of adjectives to describe the sights. For example, “The Street was bathed in a ghostly light." However, from the ending, the author sounded a little rush. In general, the story was exciting, can not hold to read the ending. The author's mind must be very fantastic and creative.

Practice number two- I was laughing when I read this story called "The Lady By The Pond". It was written by Robert Copple. I think this author would probably be a teenager. I was so fascinated in the middle where he described how the woman looked like, and I also can feel the same way as author when the woman disappeared. I like this story. It reflects how boys are like when they got a cruse on a girl in the first sight!

I agree that the story was set up for making the readers to built up the suspicion and desperately wanted to know the ending of the story.

The first paragraph of the story gave an insight view of how descriptive and careful the author is by his word choice. Overall I think the author of this story is very imaginative.
