The Katherine Anne Porter readings to me are very interesting and I like them a lot. Maybe this is because Faulkner was much more difficult to read and to me did not catch my attention. However, in a way I can see a similarity with Porter's style of writing and Faulkner's. Porter is more clear in defining this style though. They both seem to make connections to the wilderness and nature throughout their pieces. They also make use of the elderly to portray a mentoring/role model type of character in their stories. This has been present throughout the pieces we have read in Porter. As a writer, she is clear, concise, and to the point. That is the type of writing and reading that I like. I actaully borrowed the Porter book from the library and have been thinking that I might even want to read the other pieces she has written (when I get free time) :)
I have really enjoyed reading her pieces and being able to make connections with them.
