Tomorrow

I'm terrible at keeping track of multiple names in a story so I found Tomorrow hard to follow only because I got lost somewhere in between the hung jury and the past of Fentry, which is basically the whole story. I think one of the biggest things I disliked about this story was that the lawyer found out everything he needed to know about Fentry from small town people that didn't have anything better to do than get into everyone else's business. I grew up in a town like that, not as country but definatly a small town, and I hated how everyone knew everything about everyone else. I think I had a bias throughout the whole thing that really kept me from enjoying it. Another thing I didn't like was the use of racial slurs. While it may have been common at the time, I hate even reading the words because it sounds so ignorant and wrong. I just re-read the last four pages and I'm just frustrated with trying to keep track of how these men and this boy interconnect and make Fentry decide not to free the defandant. I usually rely on next day discussions to figure out bits and pieces of the stories but I really need clarification this time. I think the worst part is that I can't put together the very last paragraph where the lawyer is talking his nephew. I think I got the gist, he's telling his nephew not to judge other's circumstances unless you have been in that situation and experienced the emotional connections yourself. I haven't decided whether I like this story or not, I'll figure that out tomorrow. However, I have decided not to use this story for my paper.
