Timeless advice on falling in love

This link is about Steinbeck responding to his son telling him he’s in love with s girl named Susan and he tells him that their are 2 kinds of love the one that’s selfish that you’re doing for your own person way of getting attention and the other is the one that’s almost pure then one where it takes the best out of you. I choose this link https://www.brainpickings.org/2012/01/12/john-steinbeck-on-love-1958/ because I wanted to see how their perspectives were and how they’ve changed over time and they really haven’t .

The Monkeys paw

What interested me about this story is how something simple could easy ruin someone’s live . During the story a man and his friend are having a game night and he gets the money’s paw and his friend warns him about the powered of the monkeys paw and he wishes for money but he was warned that when given something something has to be taken away in return and his son dies but he gets a compensation for his death and they try to get him to come back but he comes back all messed up because of how he died . After reading it it reminded me of Aladdin but a more gruesome  version of it . I’d totally recommend this story because it has a shocking ending and those are my favorite kinds of stories.

The ledgend of the sleepy hollow

What interested me about the story is how it still lives on today as like a Halloween story and although it came out in 1820 people still like to watch movies about it and read books etc . During the story a man named  Ichabod is trying to get one of the most wealthiest farmers daughter but theirs another guy named Brom who is also trying to get Kartina and always makes sure to scare off the other guys by fighting them but  Ichabod doesn’t want to fight him so Brom does the next big thing Jean know for to scare him off which is pranking him and  Ichabod has herd about the headless horseman and one night walking from a party Katrina’s family had he sees the horsemanship and he ride his horse faster but he can’t and ends up getting hit in the head and no one know why happens to him after . The plot is mystery because you don’t really know what happens at the end the author gives you some clues to think it’s Brom but you’re not really sure. After I finished the story it made me wonder wha

the cask of amontillado

The story was interesting for me because it was a story about revenge and those stories always have a very big plot twist or a weird ending and I find them interesting. During the story theirs a party and  montressor leads fourtundao to the wine seller to let him taste some wine but ends up poisoning him and burying him there for insulting him . The theme of the story is revenge because that’s all montressor talks about how he’s going to get revenge on fourtunado . The story made me think about how with some people you have to be careful and make sure they know you’re kidding . I would recommend reading this short story just because it’s very thrilling and it’s interesting and funny in a sense .
It rained so hard yesterday with wind and I thought my house was going to blow away
Over break I also got sick like everyone and I know who got me sick and half the team my friend Rosalva. She went to practice while she was sick and sneezed everywhere
Over break I got a new dog she’s a husky named maya and she has a brown and blue eye she’s adorable and loves to hand out with Paloma my friend dog that resembles a cow
I had a waterpolo game this Wednesday vs nipomo and we won but I really kind of don’t like waterpolo I really like swim better so I feel like I don’t do as well in waterpolo but I do it to stay in shape for swim

Life or death

over Break I finally got my braces off and I was so glad because I’ve had som many complications when it came to my braces and I had them for 2 bittersweet years it was all kind of worth it they still look kind of bad but not as bad
