Speir-Bhan
I have to say that I was not a fan of this story. I am not really sure why. I thought at the start of it that I would be into it. However, it quickly lost my attention. I had a hard time getting through this even though it was not that long. It just got really strange in a way that seemed pretty pointless and I still can't decide iF the narrator is a boy or a girl. Also, when s/he finally got rid of the fox/girl-things did that do it for good so that his/her family won't have to do it anymore?

I agree with Virginia, Courtney, and Katie, this story was my least favorite out of all the stories we've read all semester. It took me forever to read this story because I just couldn't get into it.
I really liked the story. I've always been fascinated by Irish folklore and culture and I think she describes the way Ireland is a place inside a person is accurate to how I feel about it sometimes. I know it's weird, but it made sense to me. I really liked the Speir-Bhan as an old lady. She made me laugh. I can't imagine what I would have done if a creepy old lady would have sat next to me on the subway and started talking to me. I guess you really can never know what kind of people are around you everyday, Speir-Bhans, scary fox goths. It's sort of like American Gods in that aspect
I enjoyed he story, don't know if I liked it if that makes sense. I did get confused and lost in the middle but then got back on track (maybe b/c I read in 2 sittings i thought). I couldn't really tell you why I enjoyed it really; i just did?
I, like Jessica, knew that the nar. was a she the whole time but I don't know why...I think I automatically make it whatever gender the author is if I don't know otherwise.
