My favorite story was American History. Mainly, I liked this story because of its failed love. The couple liked each other but they couldn't be together due to Eugene's mom. Story's about failed love such as this one contain much suspense which interests me greatly. Also, as a bonus for me, it included much action like the action of JFK being shot.

My favorite story was Pancakes. The reason why that was my favorite story is because the main character, Jill learned an important lesson. And that lesson was that no one is perfect. I think people who think they're a perfectionist should read this story. Because once they read it, they'll know they're not.

My favorite story was pancakes because it shows me and many others that you may do everything perfect for 1, 2, 3 days but maybe on the fourth you will make a mistake. It just happens. Mistakes makes us better persons. Some of us have to go through 5 mistakes but it takes time to know what you did wrong. And thats why I like the story pancakes

In my point of view I thought all stories were great:D! Though pancakes was the best because it shows how no one can be perfect. It also showed how Jill the character , was actually happy with her finding out she's not perfect after all. :)

My favorite story was "Pancakes". I chose this story because it teaches a lesson that nobody's perfect. In the middle of the story, Jill (the main character)realized that she really did needed help and that she wasn't a perfectionist. My favorite part of the story was when Allen Feinman came to help Jill at the Ye Olde Pancake House even though he was angery at her for trying to be a perfectionist. This shows that he still has love for Jill and won't let anything mess up their relationship as friends.

My favorite story was pancakes because it talks about being perfect. to be honest, nobody is perfect. In Pancakes, it shows that she thinks she's perfect when shes not. Eventually, she'll make a mistake. Everybody does. She not perfect. Like i said in my journal, you can be special in your own way but you cannot be perfect.

My favorite story is "pancakes" by Joan Baeur, it enjoyed this story because I can relate to Jill because she is a perfectionist at anything she does. I think the relationship dynamic of the story is the most realistic. I believe this because I've had my perfectionist ways ruin some of my relationships with people. Or if not that people would take advantage of me.

I liked pancakes. It caught my attention by the title. However, it had nothing to do with pancakes which made me sad  It showed that nobody is perfect and ask for help when you know u need it. |

I story that I liked the most was pancakes. The reason being that I didn't like the other two stories. I guess the story was good becasue the girl realized that she cant do eveything by herself.
