  rate: 6.1  I liked 'The Sisters' by James Joyce in the way of his writing style. In a same old happy ever af†er story,  superficial story plots such as the unwanted marriage of a princess or valiant knight's heart-touching story of growth. However, James Joyce inserts inner meaning into the storyline and characters that wow me as well as the readers. After reading the story and realizing that the death of Father Flynn had more deeper meaning than its superficial death was interesting. Although I don't understand the religious subject within the story, group discussion in class made me realize that death also symbolized paralyzed Catholic church. Overall the book, 'The Sisters' was fascinating to look deeply into the story and find new hidden material. 

  rate 5.1  I liked the serene flow of the story as the author writes a soft and tender atmosphere of where three-men live.   "Gooseberries" begins on a dreary, overcast day as Ivan Ivanich and Bourkin are walking through the countryside. When it starts to rain, Bourkin suggests they go to a nearby friend's house where they can get shelter from the weather. Upon arriving at the mill owned by Aliokhin, they are greeted warmly and invited into the house.
