The Piazza Tales The Piazza Tales, By Herman Melville The Six Lengthy Short Stories The book that I read was The Piazza Tales. These tales were six short stories that consisted of The Piazza,Bartleby, Benito Cereno, The Lightening-rod Man, The Encantadas, and The Bell Tower. These six short stories were all around the same type of book. They all have some tradgey. In Bartleby, the narrator gets used to Bartleby being around him and in the end he dies in a prison because he would “Prefer not to.” All of the shot stories also have a love hate relationship in it. In The Piazza the narrator loves piazzas so much that he builds one on his house. He hates the house for two reasons, one because it dosen’t have a piazza and two the house dosen’t n allow for the piazza to go all the way around the house. The Narrator also loves the view from the house because he can see Charlemagne from the north side of the house, he can see the long camp of the Hearth Stone Hills, fading far away twords Quito, and every fall, a small white flake of something peering suddenly, of a coolish morning, from the top most piazza, bartleby, house, stories, never, narrator, page, melville, because, about, out, own, work, side, short, one, man, after, writer, way, wanted, very, two, story, mountain, humanity, go, around, anything, always, twelve, time, through, something, six
