Fiction packet 3

I have enjoyed reading the fiction packet 3 more than any of the other poems and short stories thus far. In this packet my favorite story was "The fifth story". The writing was original and plain. There was no big words and/or phrases to compliant the comprehension of it. I looked at this story as being a dream. It seemed as if these events didn't literally take place but rather it was dreamt. In the first story the character says that he complained about the cockroaches and a lady tells him what to do and he's does it. Then the next story the character says he complained, he got help and they died then he adds more by saying he only complained in abstract terms. To me this seems like a movie with alternate endings. It seems as if the author adds more and more in each story while beginning each story in the same context.
