a bag of oranges

DEAR SPIRO ATHANAS,


Hi my name is Jasmyne I read your story "a bag of oranges" the story is okay I don't I don't got nothing bad to say about it . Other than how the story begin. the story should have begin with more background about the father and son.       I also had my own coming of age experience but it does not really relate to the situation because my coming of age experience was me starting to buy my own cloths and shoes and not depending on my mama.The theme of the story was how the son was not  grateful for his father because he was embarrassed to be around him.                                                          He soon had a coming of age experience he became thankful of being with his father .Something I also had to mature from because i used to hate being with my mama and daddy .But that was a coming of age experience I had to.

SINCERELY ,

JASMYNE

Dear erugenia w. collier,

this story was not as Interestinq as I thought. the words that you were using were confusing because you seem very southern. for example "i suppose that futile waiting was sorrowful'.But i do like that the story was short beacause it was easier to finish. i also like the choice of words you used to express something .But overall most important this story did teach a lesson and actually made me think unlike most stories .Although it did not make me want to keep reading. But  it was written by a black author which made it somewhat a culture shock because of the time it occurred. All in all this short story was good  to learn about but fun and interesting was not my opion of the story.
