The student's wife by Raymond Carver
I loved this prose because of the detailed description of mundane events such as Nan trying to fall asleep, that created a beautiful image for me. I also liked that it was a bit ambiguous, it left me wondering when I was done reading it. Like why was Nan crying, is it because she couldn't fall asleep or because she is not satisfied with her life and there is a lot more she wants or she wishes she could have. When she saw the sunrise and it was a disappointing sunrise for her, I thought that maybe that symbolized life for her. That the sunrise was one of the many things that disappointed her. I also thought about why she couldn't fall asleep and why she was scared of being awake by herself. And trying to imagine and figure out Nan and her feelings while reading this was really interesting.
