Live or not live? That is the question

The story Eveline is one of those stories that you may wish to go inside it, grab the girl’s head and shake some sense of selfrespect out of her. The story begins with this young woman named Eveline who was sat at her window and was thinking about leaving her house. After that she began to think about her childhood memories, about her friends and neighbors, her life when her mother was alive and the field were she use to play with her friends.. For her everything has changed because in that field a man build a house, some friends have died and other left to other countries., one of her brother left the house and another died but more importantly her mother died.
When her mother was alive the family was united and very happy, and the father was very kind back then. When her mother was dying, Eveline made a promise to her that she was going to maintain the home together as long as she could. After the mother died Eveline took care about her little brothers, her father and worked at a store. The second oldest brother left the house and went to an other country. Eveline became the heart of the family, her father after the death of his wife, became a harsh man and he did not treat well Eveline. Then she felt in love of a sailor named Frank, he was a very good man and love Eveline. Her father did not consented the relation and they have to meet secretly. Frank propose to her to leave in another country to be married and start a new life. Eveline knew that I she went with him she would be respected and was going to have better life. In the last t moment of the stories she went with her Frank to the port, but at the last second she refuse to go with him and decided to stay.
Many people will wonder why. Why she did not live?. Eveline had a harsh live, she have to take care of two little brother and have to work to maintain the family and his old man, for what?, to take crap from his old man everyday. What about her life, her feelings and her dignity? I think that Eveline did not leave her house because of many things. Some of it could be that she wanted to maintain her promise with her mother, she wanted to maintain the family united and because she may fear a new life in a new land and she wanted to be were her memories come from and with the people that know her. Another reason could be that she did not love Frank or her feelings were not that strong to go with him.

John, a Goodman who lost his Faith

At the moment I read in the story about Salem, one thing came to my mind "witches". The story begins with John Goodman Brown saying goodbye to his wife, named Faith. there both were sad because John tell to Faith that he have to leave the village, not for long, because he had to take care about something. Because they were only three month married a though that he was going to see another woman in the woods or something like that and he was filing sad betraying his good Faith. But that was no the case , John went to the forest to meet with this old guy in other to be initiated in some cult. This is when the strange part begins, the old man in his appearance could be like the father of John but this person not only guide the father of John throw the forest, he also guided John’s Grandfather. The staff that the old man have resembling a snake was also rare too, because this people were Puritans and having something like that was something from the Devil. And actually the Devil he was, when Goody Cloyse approached and said that the old man was the devil, then he say something about they were good friends. John then learn that the woman who taught him catechism was part of the cult of the Devil and she then mysteriously disappear in thin air. Learning that Goody Cloyse was indeed "Baddy" Cloyse , John began to feel uneasy , and felt, I think, betrayed or that he's believed have abandoned him and then he decided to not go any further. The old man disappear, then John heard horses and steps, he hide himself and saw the Deacon and the Reverend. He learn that they were too par of the cult and that a young was going be initiated. Later in the story he saw Faith in the cult and she was the young girl that was going be initiated along with John. He Felt that all was lost , an strange force make John go to the altar were Faith was , John try to convince Faith to go back but she did not listen and both were given the sign of the devil. The next day John awake in the woods and wonder if what he experienced was a dream or not. After reentering the village he felt that all that was real and live his live with Faith with deep sorrow because of lie he was living and die of old aged with grandchildren with any hope.
For me this story represented the lost of a men's faith. This could resemble the dark time in North America when there was the witch hunt. There were rumors that the one who control this cults were the heads of the village like the reverend, they make this cult to make pagans activities and the hunt of the witches was an excuse to kill innocent women who new the truth about it and they threaten the head of the village of exposing them. John represent the men who was betrayed by those who taught him the things that he most value, his faith, and he live the rest of his live without faith and without hope

Good Killers Are Hard to Find

This story at first I considered like a comedy, first we have this manipulative grandmother who wanted to go to Tennessee and always trying to get in the good side of the people by saying to them, that they are good men. And more funny than that she even said to a cold blooded killer called himself Misfit that he was a good man. . If he is a good men then I should be considered a saint or even meant to be the next Pope. I Also though that she had a mental disorder because she wanted to go to house in Georgia but then she realize that that house was in Tennessee. The other character is the son of the old hag named Bailey, ho is sour like a lemon and for him what is good for him is good to everybody, if he say the family was going to Florida, everyone has to go to Florida even if it meant to die by a killer. Then we have the wife of Bailey, for me this was a very interesting character because I could not find the difference between her and a baby's car seat, I think that she was mute o something like that because I can not recall her speaking in the story and she was always carrying the baby. But one thing is for sure, as a baby's car seat she can not be trusted because she was the only one thrown out of the car in the accident but thankfully she and the baby made it alive, but not for long because she was not bullet proof. And the last two character were June Star and John Wesley, now this kids were something out of this world or maybe to deep inside the gate of hell, I swear that this kids have, instead of the numbers of 666(the mark of the beast) in their head, they have the 6,666, they are the next generation of devilish been. This kids were unrespectfull, extremely sincere and to damn malicious. If Red Sammy asked this kids if they consider him fat, this kid will answer:" yes fatty, you are more fat than the cows you use to sell meat in this stinky and rundown restaurant". What I could expect of this brothers is that some day John Wesley will become a dictator like Hitler and maybe June Star will marry him.

Well the thing about the story is at first is very funny, but at the end it becomes very sad and confusing. For me the culprits are the grandmother for thinking of house that was not in that area and the kids that I think maybe they saw the future and because they are so evil they forced Bailey to go to the middle of nowhere. The family, in there way to the imaginary house they have car accident and the wife was thrown out of the car like garbage. Then the this three strangers arrive and the 6,666 kids start talking about the guns that they have, but the stupidest thing was said by the grandmother by confirming to one of the starnger as the Misfit. The Misfit saw this dysfunctional family and though of doing some community service by wiping them out from the face of the Earth. The last one to kill was the grandmother after saying all those "eyeliking" thing she could not save her neck, so the Misfit tell her:" say hello to my little friend" and bang, bang, bang!. Three shot to the old hag to be sure that she is dead. I really did not know that the endings was going to be so tragic and serious, but maybe that how life is, unexpected.
