Negative Positive
Title: A Rewarding Experience
Review: I tend to agree with most of the glowing reviews and I can understand some of the frustration with the few negative reviews.The complaint that "not much happens" after the funeral is valid to a point. Today's readers want to see evil and ignorance vanquished, whether it's a genuine villian or just some hillbilly white trash grabbing up an old man's estate with both hands.But this is an evil and ignorant world, and Welty does a wonderful job of telling a story that feels not so much like a story but real life itself.To me, I was impressed with Welty's incredible economy to tell this story. Anyone assigned to read this for a class or trying it out on their own should keep that in mind while reading it.It will make for a more rewarding reading experience.
Is the review positive or negative?
