Short Story Theme


The theme to my short story,"The Leaving Of My Father -.-," is, " Those that cannot stand each other must separate and give each other time to think." I say that is the theme to my short story because in my short story it of how my mother and father separated and how much they couldn't stand each other any longer. They decided that it would be the best for my twin sister and I. That day to me, was a very sad day because my father wouldn't be with me everyday of the week. I only get to see him whenever he isn't busy.

Beautiful Beginning


Have you ever had questions of why someone did something to that person? Well, you're not the only one. I have been through the same thing many times before. In this story, I will be talking about how my mother and father had split up and left me with no say. Throughout the story many things will unravel and show a new side to my father. Also you will be able to feel the same way I felt on that day. As you read you will be asking the same questions that I had asked myself before and the answer will be in there too.

The type of introduction my short story has is one that starts with a question and some details that might come up in the story. The intended audience that would be interested in my short story is the audience of teenagers and preteens.

Title of Poem


My interpretation on "Love For This Book" by Pablo Neruda is that it is about how Pablo wishes that one day that he would be able to see how it would be like if everyone had wealth put upon them so that way they could be able to buy what it is that they need for their families. The poem relates to an experience of Pablo's life because he wrote this poem after his experience when he went back to Chile in 1943 when he was elected senate he had thought that he would have everything that he needed,then kicked off and had left somewhere. If Pablo Neruda were living to this very day, everyone around the world would be more interested in the next poems that he would have written. The poetic devices that are being used in the poem are metaphors, and repetition. In the poem, he repeats, "What do we leave" two times. The metaphor that is being used in the poem is "what do we leave but the lost cry of the seabird.

Relating to I Too, Sing America


I can relate to one of Langston Hughes' poems because in the poem," Mother to Son," life back then wasn't as easy as others thought it would be. People that have been through a horrible life back then know what it is that Langston Hughes is talking about when he said, "life ain't been no crystal stair." People can be able to understand what it is that he talks about in each of his poems. For example,"Tomorrow, I'll be at the table When company comes. Nobody'll dare Say to me, "Eat in the kitchen," which meant that in the future they will have freedom.
