To be honest, while I did read all the stories, I already had my eyes out for one in particular going into this assignment. Because of my interest in Greek mythology, I actually went out of order and read the Metamorphosis story first. I had never read anything about Pygmalion, so I had to do a little research beforehand to learn about his character. I enjoyed how he developed as the story progressed, from someone desperate for the perfect companion to a man with the love of his life. I also thought the story was very descriptive in several aspects, such as the creation of the sculpture and how it comes to life.
