Amiee Bender is probably one of the most creative writers in the world. Her style is unique in the sense that the stories she is telling teaches us a lesson in a fairytale manner that is for adults which is a nice change. Fruit and Words and End of the Line were two tales that I enjoyed reading. I have previously read Fruit and Words and thought it was cool that something that my high school teacher recommended as a side reading to A Streetcar Named Desire and Gulliver's Travels isn't something that I would say compares to the setting that we are reading it in now. Now we read these as Outcasts trying to understand the society. And to be quiet honest, reading them and the way that these people are Outcasts changed the view I had on the word. When I think of outcasts I think of Ponyboy. But now I think of those who got ditched at the alter, having to find a new way to cope and by coping there for ruining the hope she had in one relationship and trying to make it into a new kind of hope.
Between the little man and the stood up bride I think Bender has something working for her. Whether it be the fact that's she makes people feel uncomfortable because she needs them to feel the way her characters feel, or the fact that she makes us stop to think that there could be more to whats happening that what people see initially. Its shocking to see how when a writer things how students take it. Each opinion different in the way they read it yet the same conclusion comes up. I think that's what she does when she writes in her fab style.
