What does she think?

I wish I knew what Africa thinks when she closes her eyes, snaps the fingers of his right hand, bows his head down and drops a lock of blond hair on the cheek when she smiles to herself for no apparent reason breathing deeply, as if she was remembering something unexplainable... but that is impossible… two hours ago a nurse told me that the Africa body had stopped breathing…

    I liked this story because at the beginning of reading, I thought the story was about a boy who was falling in love with Africa and therefore he wanted to know what Africa felt or thought. But my mind changed when I read the last line! In my opinion, the strengths of this story are it manages to defeat our expectations and has a powerful ending.

      I like this story because it manages to defeat our expectations, it´s surprising, it has a powerful closers and it has an attractive title.
      In reading this story I thought the character was dreaming with Africa, but no, Africa is dead, it is truly amazing.
