Short Story 'Remembering All The Boys'
The second story I chose was “The God who Embraced me when Daddy Disappeared”. The story is about a kid who grew up without a dad. His father was arrested when he was younger and never came back. Then, one day he passed away and the man told him everything and told him how God was his father and how he grew up without him. This story affected me by showing me that even if you don’t have someone in your life that you need, you will always have God. I liked how he was in a bad situation and put everything aside and put it in God’s hands. The third story I chose is “Remembering All the Boys”. This essay is about a sister whose brother died from a gunshot. He was in the blue gang when the red gang shot him. She believes in everyone should have

    I really enjoyed the story “What you pawn I will redeem” by Sherman Alexie. What made it so enjoyable for me, was not only Jackson who is the main character but also the friends and cousins which were mentioned throughout this story. This story had great characters and a very great story line. Thanks to the main character I got to experience firsthand what it like is to be, not only homeless, but also an alcoholic. During this entire story I felt sorry for Jackson because he was trying his best to get the money for his grandmother’s regalia who passed away and he did not know how to get the money.…

    The two stories I choose are "Little Things Are Big", and "A Retrieve Reformation". I choose "Little things are big" because it demonstrates the difficulties of trying to fit in a society. I also choose it because it interests me to know what those difficulties are. I also choose "A Retrieve Reformation" because it is told by a person who actually went to jail. What I would like to find out by reading this story is if the person who is trying to open the safes get caught or if he escapes. I like both but I'm going to choose 'Little things are big" because I would like to know how difficult it was for Puerto Ricans to fit in with…

    There are three stories that I loved in particular during this quarter. The Things They Carried, A Roman Incident, and A Very Old Man With Enormous Wings. These three stories carried a lot of emotion and excitement. They all have different plots and backgrounds, but for the most part, there are so much in common between these three stories in a psychological, socio/political, spiritual, queer, and feminist lens. Besides those examples, the one thing that connects these three the most is that the reader can find love in all of the stories.…

    The story I chose was Lifeguard by Barbara Scott, I think that I can relate to this story the most out of the 3 I had chosen to read. And it has more meaning to the story then just what’s written. It has more internal problems with the two main characters, Chris and Mike as they both are facing their own family events. The 3 things I chose to speak about were the symbols, theme and my personal connections to/of the story.…

    The Blue Bowl Analysis

    The short story I chose is “The Blue Bowl” by Jane Kenyon. In this story the author’s pet has died. The theme to me would be the death of a pet, or more specific death of a cat. This poem tells the tale of a family that has lost their pet. The poem demonstrates the pain of the family members due to the loss. The narrator briefly gives you a description of the family pet, “His long red fur, the white feathers between his toes, and his long, not to say aquiline, nose.” The narrator takes you into the pain and helplessness of the family when their pet cat died. This poem is full of symbolism.…

Only to be separated from their new lives several years later. They were fugies and you can imagine what happened to them. It was in the wake of, what I assume, their death that Julian revived me. She mesmerized me; she was my leader to a new life. How could I disagree with someone who had saved me? How could I betray her? Guilt washes over my body as I scan the horizon for the source, but in a second, the emotion is gone. I am Luke and I am about commit an act of betrayal that I promised myself I would never do.
