In the end of “A Good Man Is Hard to Find”, I found myself shocked. It was a twisted ending that you did not expect. I was expecting that the grandmother would be let go instead of being shot, and it was a shocking ending. The man even said he did not particular kill women, …

Least Favorite Character
Armand is my least favorite character in the story for “Desiree’s Baby” because he was inconsiderate. He treated his wife poorly because their baby was not white and had African American ancestry. Armand does not know that is in fact, his own mother who contains African American ancestry, so he continues to blame his wife. …
Ranting
At Chattahoochee Valley the teachers move too fast because of the amount of material to cover within a semester. Having multiple classes per day is hard to keep up with, especially being an athlete here. The teachers move fast and a lot of the material I end up having to learn on my own, especially …
101 or 102?

I have found in baseball that there is a lot more to it than baseball. Its about your image and who you are on and off the field. Baseball is a condensed game of life, you’re rewarded for doing things right and you suffer from doing things wrong. As in life there are different ways …
“The Necklace”
In “The Necklace” I understand Mathilde’s situation. She wanted to look good and feel good for once instead of always sitting at her home looking poor. After finally being invited to a high-class party, she just wanted to feel good and confident about herself. Mathilde’s husband worked hard to provide a household and was thrilled …
Getting What You Wish For
Not everyone always gets what the wish for, but some people do. Just like in the “Monkey’s Paw” the things we wish for can often come with a consequence. Lottery winners are a great example, because they get the money, but new money like this can complicate lives. Winning the lottery can often break families …
