The Witness for the Prosecution
It is a great story, it is very mysterious.
I liked the end, it was a surprising ending. I wasn’t expecting Leonard to be guilty; I didn’t pay much attention to the most important clue, the fact that Romaine was an actress. Other important part is when Leonard told Mr. Mayherne that she was devoted to him.
A part in which I got confuse is when Janet declares that she heard Miss Emily French talking with someone, who?
I liked the story, but I think it is unjust for Romaine, even though it was like her own decision.

California's Tale
For me it is a very interesting short story, because the setting of these one is quite different to the ones I'm used to read; the way the story begins is also unusual, because it doesn't really have an exposition of events it goes directly to the inciting incidents.
In this story I got a little bit confused, because there is an outsider narrator and he doesn’t know all the information until the end of the story, and in this part I got disappointed, because I didn’t expected Henry’s wife to be dead.
It is a great story and there are some values in it, but in my opinion the most important is about friendship, because Joe, Tom, and Charley had been helping Henry throughout 19 years. Friendship doesn’t spring up of time, it’s from the heart.
