journal


Some people may say that you can't help some one with there life but think of this. If you give a man a fish it feeds him for a day. But then if you teach him how to fish it feeds him for a life time. Just focus on the good in life and you will have a good one yourself :)

Essay #6

The jewelry box

Have you ever given up something to get something for someone else? Well that is the main plotline for the wonderful story of the jewelry box By: Ana Davis. Ana Davis’s book can relate to me in a small way. The way it can relate is I have given something up for someone that needed it more.
How I relate to this story is one year I was going to a family party for my mom and I had just bought a camera for my self and I realized I had no money left so I just rapped up the camera and gave it to her. The main plotline is focused on that key element of giving what you have to someone else in need. Style in which Ana Davis describes that moment is true but confusing she describes her characters as a poor rich couple. At first it does not make sense but then her creativity describes what she means. One quote that she makes this happen is “The two married couple is quite poor but they are rich in love”. Each moment that her creativity occurs you can feel that the book changes in away that is hard to describe. Ana Davis described the moment were each partner gives up something for the other with great sympathy. “Kathy a great hat maker sells her hat for a new pocket watch holder for Dan”. “Dan a great watch maker sells his pocket watch for a new hat rack for Kathy”.
Although the main plotline is great the ending of the book is amazing. Ana Davis describes the couples Christmas as a wonderful and white Christmas. Kathy and Dan the two main characters ended up living for 35 years after this Christmas and Dan ended up passing away in 1978. Kathy lived 3 years later and passed away in 1981.

Street wise

Street wise was a heartfelt story that i had no realation to but could under stand were he was coming from. Street wise was one of the more true short stories than all the ones i have read. Every single real story I have read has either sounded not true or just made up but this short storie sounded real.
