" The Lottery" by Shirley Jackson

In the story of "The Lottery" by Shirley Jackson the author presented us how sometimes traditions and beliefs can be harmful to people.Furthermore, those harmful traditions and beliefs are seen as good things to people who practice those traditions. The story of " The Lottery" is not what this game is normally. It the way that they have to pick and sacrifice a person in this village. In this case was Tessie, who was sacrificed in front of everyone in the village. In my opinion, everyone has to be proud of his/her traditions and cultures. Those differenciate us from other countries, and make us feel proud of what we are. Nevertheless we must make sure that those beliefs and traditions are for the well of humandkind, not the contrary. Also some people believe in things that are unfair, and they end up injuring others or themselves. We must be careful of what we belive.

The story of "Cathedral" by Carver is a very interesting story. This tells the story of three people: Bud, Robert, and Bud's wife.In the story, Robert is a blind man, and he is friend of Bud's wife. At the beginning of the story, Bud does not like Robert; he just sees him as a blind person. Nevertheless at the end Bud recognized that may be Robert cannot see, but he is a very beautiful person, and has good feelings. In my opinion, the character of Bud was who change his mind in the story. He recongnized that he has living an empty life, and Robert being a blind man can enjoying the beautiful things that life brings us more than him

"Story of an Hour" is a very interesting story. This is full of irony. Irony is when things in life do not go as we want. Sometimes people want something, but they received something different from what they expected. Life is ful of irony, and most of the timepeope have to deal with unexpected results. In this story irony is present when at the end Mrs Mallard does not died of joy; she died od sadness because her husbandtook away her freedom when he was alive. On the other hand, her husband was just trying to protect her because of her heart disease. It is very ironic how people think that they are doing something good, and others think that it is not true. At the end of the story both died, and her husband remained as the villian of the story.

What is Literature?

Everyone has he/she own definition of Literature. For me, Literature is anything that contains words. It has many functions in people's life. Literature is common used to express feelings, to inform people about important facts, stories, and everything that the author wants to express. Trought time humans have used literature to let other generations know about their ife and feelings. It is a source of knowledge, entertaining, and inspiration of person no matter gender, color of skin, or country. Literature is universal. Everybody can appreciate a good novel, a piece of music, or a biography even if we do not like to read. In addition, literature can helps us to get knowledge about history and everything in life.

"Complaining" by Maya Angelow

Everyone has something in his/her life that want to change. If I' ll have the opportunity to change or reframe my negative thoughts; I wil be a better person and I'll can improve in my life. For example, I want to to think that I can do everything that I propose myself. Also I want to think that not everyone who approach to me has bad intentions or they want to take advantage of me. I know that those negative thoughts are really difficult to change, but if I reframe and learn from those thoughts I can achieve its. For instance, we as human made a mistake in our life and we think that all the world will have to fall over us. In my opinion it is not true. On the contrary, if people think that they can learn from mistakes, they can get better result in their lives.
