"Bartleby the Scrivener"
I honestly still am trying to finish this story. I have tried so many times but it keeps confusing me! Its a lot of details and a slow start, so hopefully it gets better. I found this kind of humerous with the descriptions of the three scrieveners who were already employed. On page 646, I thought it was funny when the narrator gave the contrasting descriptions of Nippers and Turkey. And For real, how can you not find their nicknames funny? Its a comic relief to the story because most of the content of the story is kind of serious, but the author does throw in some humor. I think, but I am really bad at picking up on if things are supposed to be funny or not so I am sure that is wrong. Lastly, I think it is weird that Bartleby always says "I prefer not to". He does not want to work for some reason. Also, it is very strange on page 659 when he won't even say something about himself. I still have to finish, but I am just not sure why he always is saying this and what the meaning is behind it if there is one.
