diaz and moore

After reading the story written by diaz, I wonder about what I just read. This story was literally just how this one guy picks up girls. What he does when expecting them, what things he says and how he expects them all to respond depending on what race they are. It was very open about what went on and seemed like a more modern read. This story was not enjoyable to me; I did not want to hear about this guy moving the cheese out of the fridge because it offends certain types of girls.
Anyway this story puts a lot of detail into what this guy does for a first date and every possible situation that could arise. He determines what will happen based on where they are from, what color skin they have, and who he meets along the way. He even goes on to explain how he expects each one to take his advances and even how their parents will react to him and what he must do in order to not have any complications. Though as detailed as he was in this story, I still did not find enjoyment while reading it.
The other story we were required to read was a bit more interesting in my opinion. It was written in what I find a unique style. It was short posts, each one signifying a year and important things that have happened in each one. The interesting part was the fact that these did not go chronologically, they went in reverse time.
This style of writing really makes the reader think about what he or she has just read. For example, in one post from 1960 she states about how she received money from her fathers will and then in 1959 she is talking about a funeral and you start piecing things together as you progress through the story. This continues all the way to her beginning. It goes through both of her parents dying, her grandmother passing away, a midlife crisis and even childhood memories. I also thought it was unique that in these posts, she always talked about what was important to her then. As if it was a journal kept the entire time. It obviously was not but it gives it a slight impression that it was written at that time.
One major thing I noticed while reading this was that this woman was pregnant at least four different occasions and I don't recall he ever mentioning having children. Did she really get abortions for all of them, or were there some other cause for her never having a child.
