3 Stories Comparison 


In the three stories that we have read thus far, I can identify a few concepts and elements that they all have in common. The first element is the fact that in each story, there seems to be a plethora of italicized words. On practically every page, there is an italicized word. But, more noticeably, almost every word does not truly even need the emphasis. The next concept is that all have extremely bizarre male characters. In the first story there was Seymour, in the second story, there was Jimmy, and in the third story, there is Selena's brother, Franklin. All of these characters all show their strange ways throughout the stories, but more importantly, the fact that there is one in every story. The final element that each story shares is the even more outlandish endings to each of them. The first story ended with Seymour killing himself in front of a little girl. The second story ended with the women crying. Finally, the third story ends with a weird tale about how a few years ago, it took her three days to take out an item from her pants. These are all the things that these stories have in common with each other.
