Emily Skahill

the House of Asterion is about a half man half bull thing living in a labyrinth. honestly i feel bad for the Minotaur. no one comes to visit him except for every 9 years and he runs around playing games and making up imaginary people.  i like greek mythology and it was interesting how Borges wrote it from this perspective but even so, i feel so bad for him. no one deserves to be alone! it was short though, and i loved this story for that! Borges should have never wrote anything very long, because he is a very boring writer. his readers would have been a lot better off.
