American short stories

In my three weeks at Trinity University I attended an American short story class, which is taught by Dr. Aarons. I am really impressed by Dr. Aarons and her way of shaping the class. She is clever, well organized, but at the same time humorous. In my opinion she has the great ability to fascinate the class for the stories and therefore she is giving us a great opportunity to educate oneself.
Besides I chose the class, because I really love to read and also because I love to analyze stories to find deeper meanings in the written texts or even single words. It was  incredible to see how a few word may change your whole point of view about certain aspects.
Past Wednesday Will and I had to present the short story "upon the sweeping flood" by Joyce Carol Oates (I must admit it was a very disturbing but also interesting and powerful story). As you might guess I was very nervous, even the thought to speak in front of the class and Dr. Aarons in a foreign language terrified me. However, I had to go through it and it was indeed an unique experience. Once I have started talking the excitement drifted away and I had even fun to moderate the discussion and to shape the lesson. I'm so glad that our classmates were interested in our presentation.
Summarized I must say that the class, but also the presentation, where an unique experience that I don't want to miss!
