The Aquatic Uncle..Nov 5

For this weeks blog I have just read a short story called the Aquatic Uncle by Italo Calvino. fist of all i must say this was a very interesting little story and if your reading this and haven't read it yet, i recommend that you do, it has some interesting theories of evaluation. I especially love how the author keeps you guessing what these land creatures are and even the water fish, i mean he gives you slight clues of what they could be near the beginning of the story but not enough to actually know for sure. they talk about how toads have warts and stuff so it kind of gives you the clue that they could be frogs or something but your still wondering about the uncle. I also like the fact that they brought a girl frog into this and that the land frog was going to marry her but then it put a very bazaar twist on the end and she ended up learning how to swim and she basically became like a tadpole and married the boys uncle. which i thought was alittle bit weird that they got married because he is supposed to be this very old fish and she's so young. I really like how this story tells you what the authors version of evaluation is and how they think it came to be.. like i said before really great short story, and if you ever have anytime you should take a sec to chill and get away from the world, and read the aquatic uncle
