I read the story Neighbor Rosicky the other day and wow, was I ever glad I read the story. The story talks about a man that has literally been around the world and went from city life to country living and basically has never done any wrong. When the man talked about how he ate the Christmas goose and felt so bad about doing it that he literally was going to beg people for money to replace the goose I realized just how much a story can remind us of our everyday life. No, I did not eat a goose but I went to my neighbors house to help him with a plumbing issue and I saw a pair of pliers that looked very familiar. After the plumbing was done my neighbor handed me a pair of pliers and said these are for you. I asked my neighbor why would you give me a pair of pliers and he said I borrowed yous and broke them so I felt I needed to replace them. If only more people would be that way.
The stories we have read about so far have all been fairly good reads. I must admit I am a little apprehensive about the Red Badge of Courage because of the dealing with war but I must get through it since I need to read the book for homework. I will post about the Red Badge of Courage in a few days.
