From Zero to Infinity

After a couple (45) minutes of reading through our stories, I finished plowing through Division by Zero  and Infinities. Maybe Mr. Khactu did this on purpose, but I liked that, despite the titles of these stories completely contrasting (zero and infinity being in entirely opposite directions), they shared many similar elements. Both narratives came back to the concept of mathematics and how it was key to the core of the story. These concepts connected to not only the academic aspects of the story, but also the narrators of each respectively. Both Abdul and Carl struggle to continue their lives, tracing elements back to their mathematics, although their stories are nothing alike. 

Personally, I don't know how I felt about these references. As part of the story, they really helped develop the importance and connection of the plot, and the descriptions were very intricate, but... maybe they were a bit too long? Maybe it was because it took me a bit to get through these stories, or maybe it was that the big blocks got overwhelming at times. I don't really know... but they were still very interesting reads.
