Everything that Rises Must Converge part two

This story was a good read. I how Julian kept going back & forth with himself in his head. It was like he was trying to find ways to pick at his mother but in a funny way. He jokes about bringing a black women home to meet his mom or having a black doctor to take care of his mother knowing how she feels about black people. Well at the end of the story his mother is just laying down on the ground and nothing more was said. So we had to create a part two to this story. My part was nothing like the original story. " Julian called for help, it had seem to be too late to help his mother. She had died on the sidewalk. A few days later, her funeral had took place. Julian made sure that only black people showed up. As he walked in the church, he had woman by his side. The woman turned out to be a black woman. I'm sure that his mother was turning in her grave."

A Good Man Is Hard To Find

A Good Man Is Hard To Find was a little funny to me. I'm not sure if any one else thought it was funny, maybe that's just me being weird. " I have found that violence is strangely capable of returning my characters to reality and preparing them to accept their moment of grace."-Flannery O'Connor. I think that quote relates to the story is that you wouldn't have thought that all of those people would have died during the trip. I thought it was just a family trip. With the "moment a grace" part, I think everybody found a moment of grace, even the misfit sort of. The grandmother found hers when right before she died talking to the misfit right before he shot her. In a way I think that the misfit found his, before and after he killed her. When she was talking to him, his voice began to crack. Maybe he was getting emotional when she was talking prayer and Jesus. And after he says" Its no real Pleasures in life." Maybe he had to kill people to find his "moment of grace".

Good Writing.

Okay, so far the last couple of stories we have been reading have been a little in the crazy side. Someone is either losing their mind, seeing people in wallpaper or putting someone in a wall. The point is that crazy people can make a very good story. They don't see things like we do, so their stories are more interesting then the normal ones. You're like this guy is pretty weird but you cant seem to put the book or paper down.

Our First Essay

So on Wednesday, we got our topic for our very first essay. We have to  choose a character from one of the stories that we read & are going to read and somewhat compare yourself to the character. You have to explore your relationship with that character. Myself personally, I really think that this is a good idea and I am looking forward to writing my essay.

The Reading for The Yellow Wallpaper

So the Yellow Wallpaper was kind if crazy. At first, I was mostly confused after that, I was just like lady is crazy. Once I finished reading it, I almost understand why she was going crazy.
Once your husband locks you in a room for three months, you would go crazy as well. You can say that she was seeing herself in the wallpaper cause she said she seen a women behind bars and that was like her. I thought it was a good story, but I still want to know why her husband past out.

First Week Back
