Arielle Coulter Movie Review 1 10/2/13 Red Dog There is something extraordinary about story telling. When we are young we need fairy tales to stimulate our growing imaginations. As we age, so does our need for stories; the stories grow with us. We go from sitting on Daddy’s lap with an old worn book to sitting around a fire, walking down memory lane with an old timer. From tales of slaying dragons, magical fairies, and ‘once upon a time’s’ to tales of heartache, magical moments and ‘I remember a time when’s.’ We are all suckers for a good story and even bigger suckers for the ones that are or could be true.
Although Jesse is sad he and Winnie will not be together now, they are all proud of her for making the choice to not live forever. I liked this book a lot, because it is somewhat romantic for Jesse to fall in love with Winnie, even though he is seventeen and she is ten. I like to read romantic, adventurous, and real books, so my sister told me to give this book a try. I could not put the book down and finished it in a day and a half. I would recommend this book to anyone who reads really, because it is a fantastic

Colin Rousset Professor Hatley English 102-003 22 January 2013 Bub’s Change Throughout the Story In Raymond Carver’s short story, “Cathedral”, the narrator is very content with his life of going to work every day, coming home to his wife, lighting one up, and then going to sleep to do it all over again the next day. He seems as if he is just fine with his mediocre job and life because he does not show any ambition to move up and do better than he already is. Although he is so content with life, he is also very close-minded when it comes to new people and new experiences. We see this when his wife informs him that Robert, her blind friend Seattle, will be coming to spend the night with them. Although he says that he “wasn’t enthusiastic about [Robert’s] visit” (28), his opinion of Robert greatly changes throughout the story.
This story opens up with the words “I wish”. Each character in the book is wishing for something, Cinderella, who wishes to attend the King's festival, Jack, a simple young man who wishes that his cow, Milky White, would give milk, and the Baker and his Wife, who wish they could have a child. While Little Red Riding hood buys bread from the Baker to take to her grandmother's house. And just like the Wizard Of Oz each of these characters goes on a journey to get what they wish for, just like Dorothy, the scarecrow, the tin man, and the lion. In the beginning it is revealed that an old ugly witch has placed a spell on the bakers line so that they wouldn’t be able to have a kid.
Romulus feels that they belong together and as such was in a happy mood when he was speaking to Lydia. This is explained by the mentions of Romulus happily whistling away and the quote “I do not remember him more happy… it was a small wonder why he was always whistling and singing”. However, when he finds out that Lydia is already married, his sense of belonging is shattered and he becomes depressed, resulting in his mental illness. Thus once again Romulus had been denied a family relationship with a wife and thus if Raimond and later on Milka had not been there a sense of family belonging as well. So, in conclusion, ‘Romulus, My Father’ is a text that deals with Romulus’ pursuit of belonging to a new country and belonging in a family.
