A short story that I have read

Choosing a short story

I read an interesting short story written by William somerset Maugham named

 “The Luncheon”

Summary of the story:

The story is about a lady admirer of the speaker. The speaker is a young writer who received a letter from a lady who highly praised his writing. The speaker also replied thanking her. One day the speaker met the lady in a five-star hotel. He was not to rich but he was flattered. He   had 80 francs. He thought that he could manage the lunch easily he requested the lady to choose the food item from the menu book. She assured that she does not eat much food so the speaker ordered salmon fish though that was expensive later the speaker asked if she liked anything. The lady replied that she liked carviare though it was horribly expensive. Then she enjoyed white champagne, asparagus, coffee and finally the salmon.  The speaker was sweating. He was too anxious if he could pay the bill or not. He did not take anything expect a mutton chop. Finally, he manages the lunch paying the total amount of whole month.

 

 

 

 

What I liked and what I didn’t liked:

 

I like the way the speaker narrates the story. He uses metaphors in the story. As first person narrator the speaker easily depicts the inner feeling of the character. The speaker also shows humors narrating the story. For expect an example at the end of the story. He mentions today she weight twenty – one stone.

There are a number of climax in the story. I do not like that flat line of the climax graph. It is not too high. It could be more interesting.

 

My change in the story:

If someone asked me to change the story than I would increase the flat line of the climax graph in high. Finally, I would make the story more interesting to the reader.
