AP English Literature January 29, 2013 “Sunshine” Even though he is attacked by something he knows as his loving pet, the young boy from Christopher Fisher’s essay “Scars” -on the topic of “Sunshine”- is left feeling guilty, despaired, and mournful for his late rooster, Sunshine. His father unsympathetically executes his pet and his mother briskly prepares him to be cooked for dinner by "plucking Sunshine in the kitchen sink, dropping fistfuls of bright yellow feathers,” which left the boy in a state of sorrow to “slouch[ed] off to his bedroom to cry.” He promises himself that he will not eat, calling it “cannibalistic” and “obscene,” that outlines his dedication to his departed friend.

Keeping in mind the Oyster Pub is well known for their seafood, I ordered a dozen steamed clams served with melted butter, fresh lemons, and cocktail sauce.

My sister was tossed between the steamed sampler including snow crab legs, oysters, shrimp and clams served with Cole slaw and the medium Buffalo style wings.

Tom and Andy’s mother show that they accept the Duviches when “She returned swathed in her hooded raincoat, carrying a basket containing a vacuum jug of chicken soup, a baked tuna fish dish, steaming hot; a loaf of fresh bread and a chocolate cake. These she took to the house across the street and gave basket and all to the boy who answered her knock.” (2). “People, often persuaded to accept what we accepted, to believe what we believed, began to think the Duvitches must really count, after all.” (15).
