In my opinion my favorite short story I read last week was Sucker. The wording was straight forward and didn't confuse me. The narrator would make life action conclusions based on his personal experiences. For example on p 68, "If a person admires you a lot you despise him and don't care- and it is the person who doesn't notice you that you are apt to admire." The narrator is at first referring to his relationship with Sucker and how Sucker would do believe anything  the narrator told him. In the second part of his conclusion the narrator is talking about his crush on Maybelle.

The narrator was always mean to Sucker, telling him to be quiet and to hush. One day the two connected and bonded in a brotherly way. I disliked how the narrator would say how awful he felt when Maybelle told him one thing then he would do the same action to Sucker. Maybelle told the narrator that she was third of him and didn't care about him. Later the narrator took his angry with Maybelle and channeled it into his conversation with Sucker, when he says, "nobody cares anything about you! And just because I felt sorry for you sometimes and tried to act decent don't think I give a damn about a dumb-bunny like you!" The ending of the story was sad and depressing, but at least the narrator was sorry.
