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. The story builds in up through the relationship of two very close brothers, they are young but and unexpirienced, but they are not dumb, on the contrary; they are very smart.
Chris’s father never truly yelled at him for what he did just because of how cute he was as a child, Chris was usually allowed to do whatever he wanted this gave him this sense of empowerment but at the same time caused him to grow this self-independence. As Chris grew older he started watching an SNL favorite (Saturday Night Live) John Belushi who soon became Chris’ Idol, all he wanted to do was to be just like John Belushi. Through Chris’s High School years he started to become a little more active through football
“This is my personal favorite characteristic of him, and most likely the smartest decision he ever made in his life.” States my Aunt Jenny about the mobster deals that Da’dooch turns down. Da’dooch was always looked down as the non- experienced and feeble- minded brother in the eyes of his father. His father always wanted his sons to be great business men or baseball stars. My great Uncle Pete (Da’dooch’s brother) was a third round pick for the New York Yankees, there he played for five years. Da’dooch never became the extraordinary business man or baseball star that his father intended him to be.
Whether one is beginning or ending there is always a constant entertainment of sports being watched throughout. The movie Rudy made in 1993 starring Sean Astin as “Rudy” was the star of a true story. The movie directed by David Anspaugh and produced by Robert N. Fried made a phenomenal movie that was rated one of the best sports movie of all time (Michael Medved, New York Post) Rudy was always put down his entire life; he wasn’t good enough, smart enough, big enough, he wasn’t capable to do anything. His only dream ever since he was a little boy was to play football for Notre Dame. His family would just laugh at his dreams and believed that he wasn’t capable to do it even though they were fighting
However, Atticus encouraged reading and prompted his daughter to read every night with him. In the 1930’s only someone truly intelligent would have promoted reading to their kids at such a young age, and that’s another reason why Atticus is a genius. Finally, Atticus is also incredibly smart because while most of his peers are shooting at targets or playing football, Atticus would rather read. Although he was already a successful lawyer, he still worked hard to improve his knowledge through reading. In a town where reading was shunned, Atticus always promoted it.
He really is fun, energetic, and has a great sense of humor. Yet because of his age difference his classmates wouldn’t give him the chance to show them what he was like. Joshua is the smartest person I know. If he wanted to he could take a government I.Q. test and get paid to do whatever he wants in life.
We may not had the best of everything, but what we did have we appreciated. Holiday where the best for me growing up I can remember all my Aunts and uncles and cousins coming over to our house and we had a ball the kids ran around and played while the grownups BBQ and drank and played cards I looked forward to holidays because you know it was going to be fun I always hated to see it end and could not Waite until the next big holiday came
Just recently, a question crossed my mind after I had watched my brothers do this routine for so long now. Why don’t these football players get paid? I wear jerseys with their names on the back, I buy tickets to their games, I watch them play on television all the time, and my brothers are constantly playing video games with the players image in it. But somehow, the only compensation they get is there scholarship. The football players don’t get any of the extra money that they are bringing in for the National Collegiate Athletic Association or for their schools.
Underage Drinking Living the dream was only the tip of the ice-berg which was my life. Captain of the Varsity softball team and a proud honor roll student, I never thought that life would ever change; if so, not for the worst. I had no idea that a small decision could turn my world upside down. I have replayed the decision in my head millions of times, each time assembling a better choice. It happened in 2007 summer time; I was home alone.
I believe that when they first got married there was some kind of love in their relationship, but when they realized they could not conceive a child Don Elias blamed his wife. Even though it was most likely he was the infertile one, he treated her as if all she was good for was to take care of him like a maid. This is what made her a hard, bitter old woman. Dona Matilida believes it was her fault, and feels guilty about not being able to provide him with a child he so greatly desired. This caused her to turn a blind eye to what he was doing around town with other women.
