=( Don't you trust me though? =P Lol! Here it is:
Out of all the three stories, my favorite was Understanding. I really believe that you portrayed the asian "want" to be white with blonde hair and blue eyes. I've experienced it first hand. Personally I just want to tell these people that they look pretty just the way they are, and that they don't need to look like foreigners. Not that it would change their mind, but I still would try. The part where the father is laying on the bed, weeping, with the bottles next to him was really touching. At least to me. I really felt bad for the man, trying so hard to be something he is not ='(.
I agree with you about the fact that sold is the not that good... =P Yay, first non-positive comment on one of your stories. Don't get me wrong, it was well written, but it did feel pointless and empty. Could be just me, but I didn't feel that much emotion in this story. And why the house was never bought before is not explained, it leaves the audience to imagine the worst! Which is good!
I thought doll was in-between "Understanding" & "Sold!". With no real purpose to it, but at the same time, you did feel something for the doll. Reminded me of Toy and Story (Great Movies). I really like the aspect of the doll witnessing the entire life of the child. I thought it was really interesting to see how her and his point of view changed throughout the story. As for the ending, it would have been happier if the doll had been handed down to one of the children of the boy =D But I'm guessing you were aiming for the sad ending.
