First short story

october 20th 2008
Today we began with the presentations of the short stories. The first one to begin was Mercedes. Her story was called "American Dreams" from Peter Carey.
This story was about a community that didn´t care with a man of the village. This man went to the highest point of the village an began to built four walls hidding something inside of them that created some curiosity in the rest of the community.
When the man died the walls were sent down and all the people of the village wanted to see what the walls were hidding. They discovered a replica of the village in such detail that inside this replica existed not only the houses but also the people of the village and the secrets they had.
In the end they became the American Dream for the tourists that visit the village just to see the replica.
