The Red Convertible

1. The setting is in Chippewa. It is a city setting and the main character works in a cafe.

2. He thinks it changes people and not in a good way. He says his brother has changed and will never be the same. One minute he is happy and back to normal and another moment goes by and he is mad and pissed off. 

3. The symbolism between the brother and the red convertible is that when it was young it was bright, red, and shinny. As it went through more ruff times and got older it wasn't has vibrant or of as much value anymore. The same with the brother. 

4. The 1980s was the time period after the world wars and the Vietnam war. People were torn, families were destroyed and people didn't want to go on. Soldiers that came back were not in great shape and their lives would be changed forever. 

Blog 3: A White Heron

In the story the White Heron, the main character Sylvia helps a hunter find a white heron. He wants to kill it but because it was happy and free. She lies to him and tells him that she doesn't see it so it can live freely. Sylvia sees the cow as her friend and talks to it. Mrs. Tilly is the woman she goes to when she has a problem or needs to talk to someone other than the cow. 

Blog 2: The body of Christopher Creed Ending

I believe that Chris Creed is dead somewhere outside of the town of Steepelon or is alive somewhere out there. The fact that the body was not found was a bad ending. I did enjoy reading the book however. It kept my attention while I was reading it. The response on Torey's blog page is either 1. Creed outside the town alive or 2. someone venting their thoughts about him and what happened.
