Bullet to the brain

After reading "Bullet in the Brain" by Tobias Wolff I determined this short story was extremely lacking of a traditional structure. It was unique the way it started and ended. I thought this story showed an interesting way of the interpretation of time and how it can be displayed in the mind. This unusual method made me finish reading even though I did not like the structure of the story at all. Some of the stories strengths were the use of imaginary. Great details were expressed and did well in showing past parts of Anders life. This enhanced the mood for Anders as well as developed his character into a positive attitude toward the end. A general idea from this short story depicts what happens to people who just can't shut there mouth and be happy with what they have. Ultimately his behavior of criticizing people is what destroyed him in the end.
