Look, You Think You've Got Troubles
On October 3 we read the story "Look, You Think You've Got Troubles" by Carol Carr. If you have further comments about the story, please post them here.
So, Lorinda tells her father that Mor is more human than he thinks and very intelligent, but when they meet Mor looks nothing like a human, doesn't express any form of good knowledge and really only talks like a human. What's up with that? And we never find out why Lorinda marries him when she said she'd marry a human.
I didn't really enjoy this story too much. I didn't really go into depth. It left a lot of questions unanswered in my opionion. Like why did they fall in love? Was this a time period where the species were friends or what? I did like the humor though. I thought the dad was very funny even thought at times I don't think it was meant to be. He was mean and very dramatic but I found that interesting and humorous at times. Some times it just seemed like he was super whinny but it was funny.
I recall commenting on this story in class, and remember wondering why Lorinda really perceived Mor as being human like. I questioned her connection just in how physically the species was described. It's thought processing and intelligence was more advanced than they initially thought but to as far as to relate it to humans I kind of disagreed. The reason being maybe, that since she did take interest in the species and was trying to make it seem to be more like a man. More accepted by society/ her father instead of a random unknown species

How could Lorinda and Mor get married since they are different species? Its like a bird and a dog getting married. Are they similar just not in skin?
