All Summer In A Day By Ray Bradvery
In the short story story “All Summer In A Day” By:Ray Bradvery, One theme that had a compelling connection to the short story in my opinion, Was that regret is the consequence of bad choices. This theme is shown in the text over the entire short story. Margot is a girl who is very frail and does not like to get in anyone's way. But that's what i think the boys don't like which fills them with erge, anger, and cruelty. The things that they do might not really affect them in that moment of time, and they might think it won't matter but then in the future regret is the consequence of the bad choices that you made. All that the innocent little girl wanted to see was the bright sun which is a rare occasion but when the boys put her in the closet

    It is meant to tell how small things could bring back memories of bigger events and that even though you regret doing things in your own time, when it comes to letting your own children do things, it has to become their own choice. They must find things out on their own. It is appeasable to audiences of all ages and aspects but only the middle-aged audiences would really have a first-hand account to relate to it. It is very comprehensible to people whose vacations were not spent at a Maine summer cottage because they could have been spent elsewhere and had the same effect.…

    To This Day By Tom Koyczan

    In the poem, “To This Day” By Shane koyczan he shows a bibliography about bullying and how it affects people. And how he got bullied as a kid. People need to understand that what they say doesn't just go one ear out the other. People can be extremely hurtful without knowing it. One thing that kids said from the poem is, “kids used to say she looks like a wrong answer that someone tried to erase but couldn’t quite get the job done”. That is just one of the many things kids said. The quote shows that even if people think i can't get worse that is usually when it does. But the problem is that people dont understand the scar that they leave when they do those…

    All Over by Guy De Maupassant

    A long time ago the difference between perception and reality was defined as the act of understanding in contrast to the act of being real. Reality could be tricky; most of us including myself depending on scenarios of our lives tend to give in to ideas which are not applicable to reality as a whole. The best example of this is written in the short story “All Over” by Guy de Maupassant. In which his main character Lormerin is very self conscious and narcissistic also Lise de Vance, a former old love plays a big role in hurting Lormerin ego and opening his eyes by showing him, his real self. Many would say that when reality knocks it could be harsh and confusing. In the next couple of paragraphs I want to show how my understanding of reality can be applied to the short story previously mentioned. Every day life brings so many unexpected moments of which we dream of but never really happen, this is where we draw the line for reality and perception of a perfect to be situation. Reality is in the eyes of the beholder and no one can really change that, all of us are born dreamers. When things get out of hand and reality hits, this is where people suffer. Why do we suffer? We suffer because we give too much or expect too much and not everyone has the same ideals when returning the favor. Also, some events might be trifling to some but extremely important to others.…

    Once More To The Lake By E.B. White

    Once More to the Lake by E.B. WhiteOnce More to the Lake, by E.B. White was an essay in which a father struggles to find himself. The essay is about a little boy and his father. They go to a lake where the father had been in his childhood years. The father looks back at those years and tries to relive the moments through his son's eyes. He knows he can't, and has difficulty dealing with the fact that he can't go back in time. E.B. White's way of letting the reader know that the father is in a way depressed, is through great detail and description. The story mentions how the lake has changes since the father had seen it last. How the once gravel roads have been paved over, and the sail boats are now replace with boats with outboard motors. As the reader, one can sense a feeling of how the father isn't able to adapt to these changes. The little boy in the story, the son, also doesn't seem to appreciate the lake as much as the father did when he was growing up. Like how when he was a boy, he would wake up early to fish. Now the father wishes his son would do the same. It seemed the little boy just too the trip for granted. He didn't appear to be as appreciative as the father once was. The father describes the view as pretty much being the same. How things felt the same, like the moss on his feet and such. He didn't feel that the lake had changed any, but everything around it did. This is when the idea of a duel personality comes into picture. The father can almost see himself as a child, doing the things he wished his son would do. When he was young he would get up especially early to fix his fishing pole and even help set the dinner table. Then he realizes that his son doesn't do any of these things, making the father feel as if the trip just isn't the same. As the story progresses, the father begins to point out the differences of his once peaceful get-a way. How when arriving was something to look forward to, seeing all of the other family's greet you, the madness…

    Once More To The Lake By E. White And Summerland

    Hi, Thai. I think your essay brings up a very important point “even though time goes on memories don’t fade”, which I did not think about while I was doing my essay. Also, I like the way you interpreted and combined the essays “Once more to the lake” by E.B White and “Summerland” by Peter Jon Lindberg with the phrase “We travel, initially, to lose ourselves; and we travel, next, to find ourselves” by Pico Iyer because it gives the sensation that you really understand the readings and knows how to explain it. Thanks to your interpretation of the essays, I have a whole new point of view of the theme of them. In addition, I can relate to the meaning of the memories and how tough is to not remember some experiences that have been memorable. I love…
