    I find this short story to be somewhat deceiving at first because it feels as though the story is about the generous nature of Agnes Milton. The first several pages the narrator speaks about her hardships in life and the generosity of Agnes; however, the ending is quite unexpected. The narrator was passed from relative to relative after her father's death (apparently due to alcohol poisoning), but Agnes was the only one kind enough to take her in and treat her like a daughter.…

It is book that I can read over and over again because there are so many details that you need to understand the whole world the characters live in.

    The setting itself is pretty simple. It starts in what I assume is about a fifth or sixth grade classroom and then falls into the circus. Of course, this is no ordinary circus; it is an “underground” circus. Since the circus is illegal, it is well hidden. It takes place deep in the ghetto of a city, in an old run down building, where it is dark and creepy. The setting really only matter in the beginning, as it sets up the mood for the novel, a creepy scary place that is full of surprises. One can never anticipate what happens next.…

    Embrace by Billy Collins

    The most effective way for a poem to speak to the reader is by using a way of indirectly representing an image or an event. When the poet uses a filter, or a metaphor, he makes a figurative instead of a literal reference. Taking a look at Billy Collins’ poem, “Embrace” it is easy to think that the whole message from beginning to end is that this person was feeling lonely enough to hold himself. He is a little over the edge, and since there is no one around to embrace him, he has resorted to embracing himself. That is what the poem is about, a temporary condition of emptiness and one man’s Band-Aid. But it also suggests a bigger point about human nature and an individual’s perspective about life. It is normal to be uncertain about your particular condition, but a pattern of acting out in unconventional ways can sometimes drive a person crazy.…

    Life is unpredictable, and sometimes out of control. A constant part of any person’s life is change. It is something we cannot control and is always happening. Sometimes life gets so crazy and fast pace that we forget about the little things. People can get into such a flow of life that we tend to move past the small things, not realizing little details, and focusing on the big picture. In “The Power of Detail” by Natalie Goldberg, she discusses the importance of minor details in our lives. In “On the Fear of the Dead” by Elisabeth Kubler-Ross, she writes about how death is something people rarely talk about and fear. In life we fear death because instead of focusing on the present and what is happening, we are more concerned with the future and what will happen.…

    The story also emanates a form of feminism. The whole story shows how soft-hearted most women are especially when they are enchanted by love. The story seemed to say that women are more vulnerable to being foolishly captivated when it comes to love. When females love, they give their everything. Once they fall, it would be very hard for them to get up. Loving here is defined as sharing with an open hand, giving until it hurts. Women, being emotional creatures are more likely to be swooned over by the feelings and are more likely to expose themselves to being hurt.…
