Samuel/ This is just to say

The story Samuel by Grace Paley was kind of a strange story to me. It started out like it was going to be a simple story about four boys going to see an exhibit. It also explains how boys are very tough. When the boys were playing on the train I never expected for one of them to be killed by the train because of all the reference to how tough boys are. The story ended with Samuel dying because he fell off of the train, his mom mourning from his death, and then evenutally mourning more when she had a new child becasue it was not Samuel. I think this story might be trying to say that little boys will do anything becasue they are very courageous. I think this because the lady on the train told them it could hurt them, but they paid her no attention and just kept on playing how they were.

This is just to say is by William Carlos Willaims is an extremely random poem if I had to say anything about it. All it said was how someone (we do not know the narrator) ate the plams in the freezer that were someones breakfast and that they are sorry about it. I guess if one was to express things in poems it is an okay way to try to get ones forgiveness.
