The way everyone is in close confinement with their odour of fish and sweat stains. I also like the way that the protagonist grows on me, at first she is judgemental and superior but by the end we can see that she has a lot to struggle with – she is a survivor.

I liked it very much.

Thank you for reading. Its still a short story at the moment. I am working on a lot of short stories to improve my writing first then I work on a bigger piece. I read Chinua Achebe mostly in high school but I will be sure to read him again. Thank you. ]]> By: vgabow http://readingbooks.blog/2015/04/26/guest-post-she-stands-aloof-by-kendi-gloria/#comment-4418 Sat, 25 Apr 2015 22:37:33 +0000 https://amandeepmittal.wordpress.com/?p=2916#comment-4418 As for male authors, Chinua Achebe would be my first suggestion, but only because that is the one I’m most familiar with myself. I enjoyed what you’ve written here; is this meant as a short story in itself, or part of a longer piece you’re working on? It seems like it would be great either way; it is beautifully written! Thank you for sharing, Gloria! ]]>
