Aimee Bender wrote two very interesting stories that we read this week. The first of the two was a story called "Ironhead." It was about a pumpkin family that gave birth to a baby with an ironhead. Because of this he was neglected and seen as an outcast in society. I think that we see that even though his family are outcasts his condition is even worse because he is not only an outcast from society but an outcast from his family. His death is the first time we see his family notice him. We think they don't notice him but he is actually remembered through his niece.
The second story that we read was called "Motherfucker" in this story we are presented with a man who has a strong desire to sleep with single moms. Typically he would sleep with a woman and would move on after a few days. Then we met the scarlet and things changed. He never wanted to push he to do things and throughout the time they spent together to told her to control her desires before they could move further and this ends up helping her in her acting career. He ends up not being able to stay in contact with the scarlet and we assume this is because he sees himself in her and he is also unable to face his problems.
