Awesome life lessons, when you want it, never do we get it. But when we don't, it's right in front of us staring and drowing us

This was a random collection of classic short stories I picked up. I have never even heard of the author before. I loved some of the stories (giving one 5 stars), was indifferent to most.

GENERAL:
- read for student teaching
- I haven't read any O. Henry before. Not even the Gift of the Magi.
- it was just okay, though

LIKES:
- the writing is fantastic, of course.

DISLIKES:
- the end is kind of a let down. I mean, it had the infamous O'Henry twist. But I wasn't blown away or anything.
- the plot was also lackluster.
