It was interesting how the author used the voice of an omniscient bystander, that knows everything, it helps the reader understand what’s happening

I actually liked this short story because it seemed to be more if a sci-fi genre. I also liked how it shows that communication is needed between human beings to resolve things that don't need to be turned into a huge brawl. But in this story they couldn't speak which was weird to me. It makes me wonder more about why the author chose to do that.

The story was a little difficult to follow at times, and it was boring. -E.K.

The author had a lovely way of describing the setting, the only thing that slowed me down as I read was that it was older writing style. I also thought it was an interesting take on how someone copes with loneliness.

it was very interesting and I didn't want it to end, Ryes character was very unique in which she was able to talk to the children

Her life was incredibly dull however she managed to give enough significance to an inanimate object that it caused the readers to feel some type of way when she got rid of her fur.

even though this story seemed dry and kind of boring it has a message that can apply to everybody's life at some point. Through reading "Ms.Brill" the reader learns that there is a loneliness that comes with watching from the outside and being a spectator of life instead of engaging in life itself. You cannot live through other people or you will never live the way you want.

The story was really confusing at first but as you continue towards the end you kind of start to understand it better. It seemed as if Ms.Brill was crazy in some sections of the short story because she was talking to her coat, but the other things she was observing throughout the story told me that she wasn't fully deranged. Overall, it was just weird to understand fully.

When Rye witnessed Obsidian being killed, that was the lowest moment for her, because now she was completely alone. It was very interesting. -E.K.

The way the author described the band and used diction to make you feel like you were also listening to the music made the story more enjoyable and entertaining

it was cool how the author didn't tell us that ppl lost their speaking/ writing until the middle of the story bc it kind of made the reader curious as to why life is like that in the story

The conflict in the story was somewhat watered down and I had trouble focusing while reading this one. But the story did have excellent imagery and humorous parts.

# data[].attributes.body
It honestly was one of the weirdest and most confusing stories that I have read... had no idea what the conflict was and when she was talking about her coat it was kind of creepy

This story did a good job at reaching out to its readers and using language that would grab others attention.

The concept for this story was very innovative in my opinion. Using a apocalyptical sickness to rob humanity of their ability to communicate for the purpose of showing how that communication brings us together and makes us what we are is really cool.

The novel took on a very mysterious tone as we did not truly understand what happened to this world until the end of the book

I thought it was a really interesting concept that really highlighted the importance of communication and language. I also liked Butler's writing style and the way I wasn't ever sure where the plot would go.

# data[].attributes.body
This story caught my attention and I wish that it was longer because at the end when we learned that Rye could talk to the children, I wanted to know if she would start teaching again

# data[].attributes.body
I thought the concept was very novel.

I also liked how the story dives into the deeper and less direct effects of living without being able to communicate.

This novel started uplifting as it seemed like a pleasant woman spending time at the park. But when she was called lonely the true darkness of the novel was revealed and it was depressing.

the only relevance in Ms.Brills life was the play. The setting of her own home was gloomy and she seemed lonely when she wasn't at the play.
