I really enjoy the writing of Aimee Bender, she is very unique and creative. I'm not a big fan of reading, but Aimee's writing is interesting brings up situations that are a little bit uncomfortable. I've never read anything like her writing, and really enjoyed "End of the Line" a lot.
"End of the Line" portrays a world where it is acceptble for a "big man" to go out and buy "little man" like a pet. TTo me this shows Bender's great imagination, and creative writing. Although the big man who buys the little man appears to be superior, we learn that he is actually lonley and insecure. This contrast how it seems he should feel, the little man who should feel small and insignificant is actually very secure, and has a loving family unlike big man. For this reason, the big man feels as though he has to torture and ridicule the little man throughout the story. I think big man acts like this because he is insecure and wants the little man to be too. I think we see this a lot in society today with things like bullying.
