Almost Home Analysis
Before I read your book Almost Home, I never thought what life would be like without a roof over my head. But after I read your the book I thought about how lucky I am to have a roof even though Sugar didn’t. And I didn’t realize that it would also be really scary to see my own mother in the hospital. And I would be alone with no one with me.

When Sugar and her mother were kicked out of their house, and had to find a place in Chicago, but one thing that got me was that Sugar’s mother couldn’t get a job in Chicago so she had a depression attack. I felt sad that this happened to them because no one should have this happen to them. And also that Sugar had to go to different foster homes and stay there for sometime while her mother gets better,

    Letter To Farah's 'The Other Side Of The Sky'

    The book you wrote about your life The Other Side of the Sky I thought was very intense and suspenseful overall an amazing story. I just can’t get over the fact that not only against all odds, seeing that you were two women in the Middle East and all but also you had to pretty much take care of your mom through your journey to America. I also loved how you really kept the faith and stayed strong, that must have been hard when at some points like after 911 it seemed like you weren’t going to America at all, I really do admire your determination. Now how was it that you knew America would be like Germany, when you were trying to convince your mom to apply for the world relief program you always used your trip to Germany as a comparison…

    Chrolette Diary Entry

    The life that Charolette and I were living was probably so much better than his conditions were. We had everything we needed, a small home, one large bed, food for her and I, and a fireplace to keep us warm. Even though I was living well, I felt incomplete. I felt so alone, without Henry there. I tried my hardest to focus on now, but my mind was always going somewhere else.…

    Jake Luklly's Short Story

    I noticed how abandoned the farm was. It needs much work. Jake told me about his parent’s death. And how now I am the only family he has. I knew what I had to do. Jake was responsible for the outside and I had to tend to the house. We unloaded the wagon and walked up to the house. It was way bigger then my parent’s home. This house can have fit three of them inside of it. Jake told me it was built in the finest wood that was available in his town. When the doors and windows were open the house came to life. Dust flew with the gust of wind that came in. As a married lady I was the woman of my own house now. It’s my job to make this home for my husband and me. Jake went out to tend to the yards and animals. And I started repairing the house. I like candles in the rooms to burn most of the dust smell. The sun just wasn’t doing its job today. I heated water in a pan to scrub the walls and floors. After all the dust was gone, I heated more water and gathered all the fabrics to clean them. When I was hanging the fabrics on the line I watch Jake feed the horses he looked so busy. Once the house was done I went out to his mothers garden. It needed much help also. I gathered all the vegetables that were ready. Pulled up the weeds that have grown over the time it was not tended to. Golfers poked their heads out, curious with whom was out in their garden. I was on edge, I was afraid of snakes and if there were weeds mice and golfers there…

    Trying to go to school the next day. Standing in the shower thinking maybe if I dont get out I wouldn't have to start my day and move on with it all. But as the water turns to a shivering cold I realize it’s all too real. Pushing through the first five periods of the day, the last three seemed as too much. Feeling as if I will never be able to be happy again. All these gloomy days crafted me into who I am today. This whole experience making me grow up just a little bit faster, and a little more mature and understanding seeming as I already live the life as an adult, but only being a…

    Flavio's Home Analysis

    A story that illustrates how experiencing “misfortune” helps in developing a person's character is “Flavio's Home” by Gordon Parks. Throughout his writing Parks illustrates a scenery that emphasizes how “poverty is the most savage of all human affliction” (Parks ❡1). Living within poverty, Flavio’s experience includes several set backs; however, Flavio uses them to rise within himself and become a better person. For example, throughout the essay Parks explains how Flavio's family suffers from food shortage; however, even then he offers Gallo some of his dinner (Parks ❡10). This displays how Flavio builds his character by doing what he assumes is correct even if at that moment his family is facing misfortune. Flavio is a positive example of…

    Has your sibling ever run off before and never returned? That predicament is exactly what happened to Georgie Burkhardt in One Came Home. Georgie’s sister, Agatha, was fed up with her family and the small town they lived in, so she disappeared. One Came Home by Amy Timberlake is a superb historical fiction novel about family plights and love. The narrative was somewhat slow at the beginning, but overall, I greatly enjoyed it.…

English and literature are about expression, education, and expanding our minds. For us to be able to do those things, we have to know who we are as individuals. We have to have some starting ground to be able to expand ourselves. We must have roots before we grow, and that is what this first unit is about. Getting our roots.
