I didn't like the way Dee thought she could just come home and instead of spending time with family decides to start going through stuff to put in her apartment. It was very selfish and rude. I'm glad she was told no, and her family didnt let her little huff get in the way of their happiness.

I don't think the mother approved. Sounds like his dad would come home drunk and then they would dance in the kitchen, only to run into things. I understand wanting to cling onto a memory of a parent. You want to remember them during the good time, even if they are drunk or smell of whiskey. I still remember all the "dance parties" my family would have. They were the best.

The way Charlie's father acts when seeing his son for the first time in three years and sad and pathetic. I don't know if he was scared or nervous, but that is not the way to go about it.

Sammy was taking a stand when he quit his job. There was a sense of dread though, a sense that he may have just made a big mistake.

The struggle between child and parent. I was a stubborn child, if my parents told me one thing I was determined to do it my way. That's how I see the relationship between the two characters in the story. The mother wants her daughter to try and to be the best, but the daughter sees it as control and doesn't want to try.

I had mixed emotions about this story. The ways of the people back then was cruel and heartless. I could never imagine being able to be away from my children because of the color of their skin. Armand ignoring his wife and child is wrong. His actions towards them is disgusting. Then he finds out that it is him not Desiree who is of mixed blood.

When reading a poem you automatically want answers, you want to know the meaning without really reading or understanding what you read. Collins is telling you to "feel the walls for a light switch" get a feel for the poem, study the poem, understand the poem.

Well... I did not see that coming. I was saddened, relieved, happy, and surprised all at once while reading "The Story of an Hour," what was heartache turns to relief, joy, and a feeling of freedom. I could feel her emotions, her new sense of freedom. Next thing you know she's dead "she had died of heart disease-- of joy that kills." Whoa! So far this has been my favorite reading. Chopin's choice of words is fantastic.

Sandra Cisneros compared growing up to an onion. Each year we grow older another layer is added. Some days you feel like a child again and just want to cry, you just want your mom or dad and that is ok.

...unless you give them love potion, then they will love you no matter what! Alan is a very naive man in my opinion, wanting to have Diana love him so desperately that he buys a love potion, and disregards the old man's subtle hints "Please a customer with one article, and he will come back when he needs another. Even if it is more costly. He will save up for it, if necessary."
I very much enjoyed the first assignment. "The Chaser" is a good read.
