The Garden of Forking Paths was yet another story by Borges with the theme of a labyrinth. This story however, was much more suspensful than some of his other works. The story follows a man who is running away from his arch enemy. During the course of the story we follow this person on his journey through his labyrinth, while allowing us to see the many different possible outcomes. We saw how different something can turn out just by changing one simple part. I especially enjoyed the presentation we had on this story. I thought the idea of the game where we got to chose the different endings was very creative. It also helped me to understand the confusing parts of the story a little better.
