Waiting for Godot The Boy Twice in Waiting for Godot‚ both Gogo and Didi meet the “boy” sent by Mr. Godot‚ once toward the end of Act I and once again at the end of Act II.

Sherman Alexie’s‚ “Superman and Me” helped me remember how I developed my passion for reading as a child. From the moment I was able to read‚ I cherished this form of media.
