Jorge Luis Borges is a very wordy man; these stories are filled with intertwining and complex wording. Well at least that what I think. The story about Monk was an interesting one I thought. He a leader of a gang then is sent to prison then have a boxing match with a rival gang leader. Then seems to do some good by join in the war, it just seems as if the man was some how turning his life around and then in the end dies in a new york city ally way… kind of depressing. Borges does give us a good sense of what happening around in the stories and that is a positive thing.
