Group story choice

Our group chose the story "The Girls in Their Summer Dresses". We chose this story because of the cultural relevance it shares with modern times, despite being published way back in 1939. We still see today that men will "scope out" attractive passerby's even though they are in a romantic relationship, and it often doesn't matter if they are with their significant other or not. This is an extremely general statement and it doesn't apply to all, but it's commonly known that men can't or won't control their in-most desires, and in this story's case, men will covet.

Our group also likes that the story focuses on two characters, and because of that, the focus is strong and will allow us to be much more descriptive of their characters especially if we do a profile page on each one such as those on facebook. Personally, I like the choice of the story because of the setting. The couple is in New York City and on 5th avenue. From my experiences going to the city, my opinion is that 5th Ave is the greatest street in the world. It has everything ranging from high-end restaurants to exclusive clothing boutiques etc... You can have a great day... actually, you can have a great week, without ever having to leave the streets of 5th ave. There is just so much to do. That's why the ending of the story surprised me. Instead of enjoying great possibilities of a day on 5th ave, the couple went their separate ways because of Michael's infidelity to Frances.
