Week 2: Chapter 4: Bullet in the Brain

In the story "Bullet in the Brain" the main character, Anders, is shot in the head during a bank robbery and you hear from his point of view the memories which come flooding into his mind as he is dying. The way the memories are written is very much like stream of consciousness writing. He is not too likable a character but you are able to see how he thinks while he is scrolling through the memories he is surprised he did not have come flooding back. It is almost confusing once you being to take it apart. Everyone in class talked about how it was a surprise ending to the story but I do not agree. I thought from the beginning that he was going to be killed because of the way the author portrayed the character.
