The Method, an experience!

            "The Method", written by Janet Fitch is really a very interesting story. To me, it seems a little surprising and shocking finding out about a simple girl's true character. If, I have to recommend one story to someone, I would choose this story. Holly is the protagonist of the story. The way, she manipulates and then kills the guy named Richard, is kind of femme fatalish. But, as per as rule of film noir, since Holly is the narrator of the story, she seems to be the protagonist.
             The theme and the idea of the story impresses me the most. In the starting of the story, Holly gives a description of her own. Addressing readers, she says "If you met me, you might think you knew me- a small town girl, fresh from state college productions of the Boyfriend and Annie Get Your Gun....I know, you would think lunchmeat. But you don't know me". In this self description of Holly, there is some thing, that drags the reader through the story, with an curiousity to know about her true character. We found out at the end that, the simple looking, tiny girl "Holly" is not that simple at all. She seems pretty evil and psycho type of girl. She is smart enough to deceive police even after committing a crime like murder. We could not find out about any case against Holly, so it remains unknown that, what happens to her eventually. The first thing that came on to my mind, after reading the story is, did she kill the guy because, she is mad at him, because he had a relationship with that old actress? Or, she is just simply a psychopath! Anyway, if it is a question of recommendation, I would prefer "The Method", because of it's startling ending; it is also a little different than other stories and therefore, readers will find this story pretty interesting.
