    In ELA, we read three of the 900 Cinderella stories and one poem. I liked “Ashenputtel” because it had some cool features of the story such as the background of the story, but what was surprising is that it had blood and gore in it. “Yeh-Shen” was not my favorite, but I did think her step-mom and sister deserved punishment because of how they treated her. Apparently they didn`t know the phrase “treat others the way you want to be treated”. In the “Algonquin Cinderella” the step-sisters should have been punished for the horrible things they did to her (the Algonquin Cinderella). The poem, I didn`t care for because the step-mother was a liar. She doesn’t know how Cinderella feels so she should step into Cinderella’s shoes.…

    Oryx and Crake by Margaret Atwood is an extremely creative book that challenged my imagination as a reader. The basis of her book, being the vague life of the character snowman, as she unfolds the meticulous sequence of snowman’s evolution. Atwood uses a story to tell a story. The text sways back and forth from the present to the past, only revealing what is necessary. It is not until the end of the book, that I as a reader was able to connect all of the dots. Throughout the book there were many elements and devices that contribute to the success of the narrative. One subsection in particular that Atwood reveals the depth of characterization, symbolism, foreshadowing and so forth is Blyss Pluss.…

Drawing parallels to modern society, Atwood’s three main concerns are the negative side of globalization, the loss of a middle class, the negative side of globalization and excessive human exploitation for personal gain.…

    With a lawn chair slung over one shoulder and a large cooler in hand, I struggle to slam the trunk of my Ford Expedition. I embark on my trek up the steep, grassy incline to the field, making sure to feel my pocket for the bottle of Advil I promised to deliver. Besides the coaches meticulously raking the field and chalking the foul line, there is no one around. The rickety, rust coated bleachers remain barren in the sliver of shade. I unfold my chair, positioning it at the perfect angle to view the mound, excitedly awaiting the arrival of my daughter. Today is going to be a mental and physical battle for her; I think to myself as I crack open a can of Pepsi Max.…
