Where do new ideas come from?

I think new ideas come from past experiences. Theses experiences help you know more of the world, and it puts many new things in your head. So sometimes when I think of ideas, if they don't come to me naturally, I like to refer back to past experiences that I have had to find them. And lots of times, this is very useful.

My Favourite short story from our Unit.

In this short story unit we have read 3 stories: 1st is "The Sniper" by Liam O'Flaherty, then "Lamb to the Slaughter" by Roald Dahl, and finally "Thank You, Ma'am" by Langston Hughes. My favorite story out of the three would be "The Sniper", because I enjoy reading about wars and fast paced action stories, and "The Sniper" was best to my liking. Also, in this story the conflict was very tense, as there were many enemies to one sniper. Then, at the ending, the unexpected happen when the sniper had killed his own brother. I really like the way how the story ended quite sadly; it was very unique because most stories have a happy ending.
