BAG OF ORANGES

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.
