I found the Al-Mu’tasim story a bit strange. The story told of another story, which involved a law student trying to find Al-Mu’tasim. It seemed like a lot of disconnecting things were happening, and many events in the story didn’t relate to each other. The story ended with the readers not knowing what happens once the student finds Al-Mu’tasim.
I think the Pierre Menard story was written in a boring style. It was about how Pierre Menard’s version of Don Quixote was better than the original version by Miguel de Cervantes. It gave certain reasons to why Menard’s version was better, including its new technique. I just think the way the story was written was boring, and it could have been more interesting if it had been written a different way.
