    The Bass, The River, and Sheila Mant is a short story about lost love, realization, moving on, but most of all, letting go of what you love.

    In “The Bass, the River, and Sheila Mant” the main characters are the boy and Sheila. The main conflict is that the boy likes Sheila but she hates fishing and he had to choose between both. He had thrown away the fish because he didn’t want Sheila to see it. Later, he regretted it. The resolution was that Sheila left him anyway, when he was trying so hard to impress her. The main character changes by feeling regret, and dumb for letting go the biggest fish he had caught over a girl who didn’t like him and didn’t like him for who he is and judge him that fishing is stupid. You shouldn’t have to hide who you really are even if someone else doesn’t like it because they should accept you for who you are.…

    One point of similarities and differences would be the characters and the relationships that the characters have in both stories, Night and Life is Beautiful. For example, there is a father-son relationship in each of the stories. In Night, the father, Shlomo, and the son, Elie, have a very special bond of love and appreciation toward one another, just like Joshua and Guido do to each other in Life is Beautiful. However, the difference between the two would be that at around the end of the book of Night, Elie's feelings toward his father would change at one period in the story. The reader notices the change when he says “free at last!” (Wiesel 112), yet this change did not happen to Joshua and Guido in Life is Beautiful. By Elie’s change of feeling toward his beloved father, this could change how the reader feels about him whether it is a positive…

    There are many times when you find yourself faced with a challenge or a hampering situation. However, a decision has to be made and each obstacle must be overcome. In the short story The Bass, The River, and Sheila Mant by W. D. Wetherell, the obstacle was the main characters’ situation in being able to talk to his crush, Sheila Mant. He is initially drawn to Sheila because of the large parties her family threw at the lake cottage next to his, during this fateful summer, and his curious nature. His curiosity grew stronger with his development of understanding her disposition from a distance as she lay on the float. As the summer neared to an end, he found himself having more confidence and overcame his fear. This story provides a direct example of how teenagers are able to overcome their obstacles and nerves.…

    The first similarity between the two women is the way they slowly become detached from their husbands. The woman in “The Yellow Wallpaper” is very fond of her husband’s care and takes notice of it when she says “Dear John! He loves me very dearly and hates to have me sick. (Gilman)” This shows that she can clearly see he cares for her and appreciates what he does for her. Even though she does appreciate his care, she truly believes that there is nothing wrong with her, and there is no need for his extensive supervision. Towards the end of the story she becomes very detached from John when she says “The fact is I am becoming a little afraid of John. (Gilman)” With this quote, she shows that her psychological condition has worsened as feels as if John is trying to hurt her with the rest and treatments he is prescribing. In “The Story of an Hour” the main character immediately feels detached from her husband with “And yet she had loved him—sometimes. Often she had not. What did it matter! (Chopin)” With this she shows that she does not feel at all connected to her husband an shows no concern with trying to be. While these to women may have grown away from their husbands from different reason, it is still a strong similarity that the share.…
