Dear SPIRO ATHANAS,
Hello, my name is Joseph Lewis, and I read the story called " A Bag of Oranges". I thought the story was okay. It gave a good on how your parents embarrass you and you still love them. It also shows the sorrow you go through when you lose them. All in All, it was a very interesting story.
I had a very similar moment minus my dad getting hit by a car. There was a time when I as out in public and someone made my dad mad. He yelled and cursed out the dude in the store. I didn't want people to know that was my dad. But later, I didn't care because that was mt dad. No one would and could change that.
The theme of this story is learning to appreciate what you have. Because, when you lose it you'll never forgive yourself. I got that from when he decide to go after the orange when the guy walks off with it. That shows he remembers his father and appreciates what he did in the bus. That shows he is "coming of age", that he is growing up.

"THE JACKET"
May 9, 2012
Dear Gary Soto,
Hi, my name is Joseph Lewis, and I read the story the "Jacket". I believe the story was a good explain of a "coming of age" story. It also shows why you should appreciate the little things. I also feel that he was overacting about the jacket. Other then that there nothing else I know or feel about the story.
I've had a similar experience to the character in the story. There was a time during winter when I had to wear a giant winter coat. But, I was happy when I was warm and everyone else was cold. Even though I was embarrassed I put it on no matter what someone said. In the end, I learned to appreciate the coat, and don't worry about what people say.
All in All, I believe the deeper meaning was to be greatful of the little things . I got that from the part "I slipped it on and went out to the backyard, smiling a "thank you" to my mom". That shows that ever though he wanted the jacket, he appreciated the fact he got one. That also shows that he grew not just on the outside but on the inside too. He found out he has it better then what he thinks.
Sincerely,
Joseph Lewis

"MARIGOLDS"
MAY 2, 2012
Dear EUGENIA COLLIER,
My reaction to the story was kind of a surprise. In the end, I thought she was going to apologize to the old lady for what happened earlier that day. But, she actually just finished the job of destroying the marigolds. But during this she was changing from her childish ways to a full-fledged woman. This reminds me of a time during the summer, my friend was messing with one of my neighbors. He kept kicking up rocks onto the man's house. Until the rocks had break the machines and windows in his basement. the next day, we were different, we had given up on childish things like pranks. like from the story "That violent, crazy act was the last act of childhood. Did we really see a change to adulthood?
