This Summer was one to remember, in a good and bad way. Reason I say this I’ve lost friends this summer and it’s really hurtful and it was due to violence, it’s really crazy what’s happening in this world, also with COVID-19 it ruined plans for me. I was supposed to go back home to Jamaica to visit family and friends, but that went out the window. The most exciting thing I did this summer was start a new project. I learned that I have talents that I didn’t know about and I’m super excited about that. This summer allowed me to become a better “Chef”, I learned new recipes, from my country, and that was interesting. This summer also gave me the opportunity to spend time with family, we learned a lot about each other, played games, watch movies so that was a lot of fun. Overall my summer was one to remember.

 

Between the two stories “The Tell-Tale Heart” and “The Yellow Wall Paper” I would say I’m in between when it comes to choosing my favorite story, but I’m pushing towards “The Yellow Wall Paper”. In “The Tell-Tale Heart” it was more easier to understand what was happening from beginning to end, I knew that someone wanted to kill the old man because he was taunted by the blue eyes. The story didn’t give a lot of details about the creepy guy or the Old man so it had me wondering a lot of things. And it was straight to the point, I knew what the narrator was going to do next. In “The Yellow Wall Paper” I had to reread a few times and there were details about the characters, the setting and I liked that. The story addresses mental illness, the narrator is isolated from her family, and she is focused on the yellow wall paper that’s in the room. The narrator husband was very controlling he didn’t allow her to see people or do certain things and whatever he said goes. All in all they’re both good stories one lacked what the other had.
