Raymond Carver

For this post i chose the short story "little things". I cant really say i liked the story as i find it depressing yet true to human nature. People want things to be their way to an extent of harming others in order to get what they want. This story contains allusions to failing marriages, there is so much spite and hate sometimes that this ends up affecting children not only physically but mentally as well. This story may also be an allusion to his own life as his father was an abusive alcoholic who mistreated his family.
