    In this paragraph I will show my personal connection to a theme of family-ties in the short story “The Scarlet Ibis” by James Hurst. On a page it says that “He talked so much that we all quit listening to what he said” (Hurst). I connect to this because my brother too is annoying because sometimes he never stops talking. Yet he talks with such an exotic vocabulary whenever he never stops talking. On another page it says “But doodle couldn’t keep up with the plan”(Hurst). I connect to this as well because my youngest brother doesn’t always listen or focus, but sometimes he follows with such…

The death of Bubba in the Vietnam War triggered Forrest to start a shrimping business. This business allowed Forrest to take a risk, and learn from its impacts and consequences. Additionally, Jenny’s death gave Forrest a sense of purpose in life. He was compelled to raise and take care of his son. Parenthood contributed to another aspect of his changing identity. He was not only Forrest, but he was also ‘dad’ for his son. Fatherhood was a significant aspect in the film showcasing relationships can lead to personal growth.

    Edgar Allan Poe had a major impact to literature and brought many changes. He introduced a new concept which were mysteries and the first detective story. His stories set him apart from other writers at the time because they built a suspense that no one else was doing at the time. He is the Stephen King to generations before us. Poe has even impacted Stephen King himself! Along with many other writes who are still influenced by his writing today. Horror is bigger today than ever and we can thank Edgar for that. There is a vast library of commentary on Edgar, a lot of people bash him based on Griswold’s biography on Edgar. “Mr. Poe is too fond of the wild — unnatural and horrible! Why will he not permit his fine genius to soar into purer, brighter, and happier regions? Why will he not disenthrall himself from the spells of German…

    The Manhunt

    I believe that Relationships are the connections between people which can be expressed in many different ways or situations. In the poem ‘manhunt’ by Simon Armitage he explores the relationship between a wife and her husband, whom is an injured solider who has returned from war. In nettles, the relationship is between a farther and his son who has fallen into a "bed of nettles." Both poets show the consideration felt by the reader of the poem for the other person in the relationship. In the manhunt, the narrator’s consideration is for the mental suffering which her husband is suffering. Similar to Manhunt; in ‘Nettles’ it is the father’s care for the injuries of his son which he feels was caused by the nettles.…

    Human relationships are so fragile, even a single sentence can ruin them. Our relationships make us who we are, whether it’s a loving relationship or one between enemies. Our relationships affect who we are on a very deep level. The way we interact with others affects relationships. To sum up what I’m saying the way we act affects our relationships and causes some to be made and some to be changed or even lost. This theme is present in the stories “What, of This Goldfish, Would You Wish?”, “The Wife’s Story”, and “My So-Called Enemy” as they all have to do with the way relationships affect us.…
