My Emoji Story

Turkish Coffee - By CompassMedia

    This story is written by CompassMedia. The genre is factual, but to be specific, it falls under the cultural sub-genre. The level of this story is 16.70, but it's not very difficult for me, and I could read, understand, and enjoy the story well. There are 267 words in the story text, and it took me around one and a half minutes to finish it. To recap the story,  it introduced us to Turkish coffee, the way it is made, the ingredients, some traditions related to it, and the significance of those traditions. It mostly tells us about how in the past, Turkish women needed to know how to make and serve coffee well. The reason for that is marriage, where women would showcase their skills as a wife to parents-in-law so that they would be accepted.

    After reading the story, I felt a little craving for coffee. Thus, the reason why I chose a coffee emoji out of all things to describe my feeling. The way the text describes the process of making a Turkish coffee, the ingredients in the coffee, and the way it's served.  All of that just made me want a cup for myself. Sure, other aspects of the story still amuse me, but the coffee itself is the thing about the story that sticks with me the most.

Good Dog - By ELLLO

    This story is written and told by ELLLO. The genre of it is once again factual, but the sub-genre is love and relationships. The level of this story is 15.70, and for me, it was an easy listen. There are 204 words in this story, the duration is 1 minute, and it took me 1 minute and 36 seconds in total time to catch everything about the story. To recap, it is about the conversation between 2 people, James and Todd. In the story, Todd asked about a picture of a good dog on James's desk, and then James began to talk about his dog. James talked about his dog's name, how he found it, his dog's breed, the tricks his dog can do, and his dog's behaviour.

    After reading the story, I can feel just how much James loves Piper, his dog. For someone who loves dogs and has 2 dogs myself, I can relate to James and his story. I can also understand why he doesn't want puppies, even though it would be fun. After searching for a minute, the emoji that I have put is the one that could really describe my feelings after listening to and reading the story. All dogs are good boys and girls.
