Susan Glaspell "Trifles", "A Jury of Her Peers"

When reading this story I enjoyed the play version better. The reason I enjoyed this better is because of the detail of the play. I like that they describe the scenery and what is going on during each scene, this makes it easier for me to picture. When picturing what is going on it is easier to understand what is going on. The story verision was also good but I just enjoy hearing what is going on and what the scenery looks like. The disadvantages with the play are that you can get lost switching from each character and having to read some of the play over again. You can get mixed up with each character and what they are saying, in the story version it is just there for you but you have to use your imagination more, to picture what is going on. In the play version I was abel to understand the time period better. It seemed like it took place in a older time, with how they describe the house, and what is in the house. How the author describes what is in the scenes makes you think that the time period is taking place in the past rather then the present. Hearing about the quilt and the fire and how they needed the fire to keep warm maeks you think it is not present day.
