and Mexico, made me question my mother and father about everything. “Why are there so many people asking for money?” and “why are the dogs so skinny you could see every rib in their body?” are the questions I would ask my dad every time we would cross the border to visit my family. I have to thank those memories for they have embarked the person that I am today. Coming from a Hispanic family has made me value all of the opportunities life has to offer. Most importantly, my heritage is a constant reminder

My entire life, I’ve never been a fan of writing. In fact I still am not. I’ve loathed all my English classes. In school I’m asked to read an excerpt and write a fifteen hundred-word commentary on what the author feels. And I’d sit there for those two hours blank. I’d re-read the excerpt a countless number of times but I still wont seem to hack it. I never felt what the author’s trying to portray.

Review on ‘Brian Musser: My Father’s Son’ I chose to write first about Brian’s essay since it made me think of my father. I saw many resemblances of Brian’s father in my mine, for example, “He is the family “go to” guy.” My dad would drop everything if there was a problem, and help the family out. I can tell that Brian’s father cared deeply about his family, as he is driven to be the best father he can be the kids. When I think about Brian’s father and my father, they both generally want the best

Short Story Analysis David C. Franklin ENG 125 Sarah Lahue January 7, 2013 During my reading the short story I enjoyed the most is “The Secret Life of Walter Mitty” by James Thurber.
