Tobias Wolff's Bullet In The Brain

Bullet in the Brain by Tobias Wolff was about a man referred to as Anders that makes a trip to the bank right before it closes. He stands in a large line right behind two loud mouthed women, who put him in a murderous temper which is suggests foreshadowing. As he was waiting in line one of the tellers put a closed sign in her window and relaxed in the back. Anders and the women became annoyed. The climax or turning point would be when men in ski mask came into the bank holding guns. Anders and one of the men had words about Anders not keeping his mouth shut. One of the loud mouth ladies even asked Anders to please be quite. Unfortunately he did not listen, and the robber had enough of his saractericic out bursts and he shot him in the head. After being shot, all the memories that Anders had were gone. The memoriers of his daughter, his first lover,

his wife and the woman who commited suicide a few days after his daughter was born were all gone. He could not remember anything other than playing baseball with his cousin and trying not to correct his grammer when he said ‘they is’ instead of they are. After hearing his cousin say those words he started playing ball but kept whispering ‘they is they is they is’. Ultimately, Anders was shot through his brain because he kept smarting off and mocking one of the men in the ski mask.
The setting of the story was clear.

He made Anders seem like a negative and saracteric person that is lonely. When he stated that Anders had a murdeous temper I assumed someone as going to die, but I did not think it was going to be him. The rising action seemed a litte short. However, I did enjoy his smart remarks to the louder ladies in front of him. When the story hit the turning point my attention was defintiley on what would happen next. After the one of the robbers and Anders started arguing it was almost obvious to me that Anders was going to be the one with a bullet in his brain. The story became boring when the Wolff kept going through his memories. He did not explain anything about Anders life before he was shot, so the information was a bit over whelming and not nessecary. I do believe there was also a spelling error in the beginning of one of the paragraphs. The name he used was Ambers but in the next sentence he used Anders again. I was not pleased with the ending. Although, the ending was not interesting, I would read another one of this authors story, because I am curious to see what else he writes

about.
