By 1985, Ed’s father built a sawmill and Bishop Shetler, the spiritual and social leader of this Amish community, gave Mr. Gingerich permission to supply building material to the community. Ed was particularly interested in the mechanical end of the operation. He was highly intelligent in mechanics and machinery- most of which was self-taught. When he was not at the sawmill, he could be found spending time with Brownhill’s “English” (Fisher, 2000, p. ix) neighbors (those who were outside the Amish faith) fixing trucks, tractors and farm machinery. Over the next few months, Ed continued spending more time with his English friends and confessed something that had been troubling him for some time: he’d been thinking about leaving the Amish faith, but he didn’t know how to go about it (Fisher, 2000, p.9).

Now Henry owns the whole car, and his younger brother Lyman (that’s myself), Lyman walks everywhere he goes. (Erdrich 368). I would like to start with this paragraph because it is the reason why I picked this story for my critical analysis. This story has a great development and focuses and emphasizes a lot in details, but that wasn’t what got me to write about it; it was the connection that the author made with the beginning and the end, a connection that nobody could undestand unless the read the story.

Heinrich Schliemann Heinrich Schliemann was born in Mecklenburg Germany on the 6th of January 1822. Schliemann’s father was a minister of religion and often told him about ancient times instead of traditional stories and fairy tales. When Schliemann was 10 his father told him about the Homeric tales. Schliemann was obsessed with these tales and his favourite was Homer’s Iliad and the Odyssey.
