"Once Upon A Time" by Nadine Gordimer
This story was far more interesting than the rest I would say. At the beginning of the story the narrator talks about how she doesn't write fairytales, yet the title of the story is "Once Upon A Time". None of the characters had names to show that it was universal and could be related to anyone. I also discovered that the setting wasn't in America, but in South Africa.

The setting was also in a secluded suburban neighborhood. It was interesting how they try to keep out the african people because of fear of destruction and riot. What also caught my attention the sign the people had outside of the gate. It said you have been warned and the sign didn't have a person showing there race, but the person had a mask on.
It's amazing to see the kinds of extremes people will go to, just to prove that they are not judgemental, critical or immoral.
