We Love To Read, but also Love to Share

On Friday, we went over On the Gull's Road by Willa Cather one more time and touched on how we learn more about what the narrator is feeling deep within himself and less about what Alexandra Ebbling was going through with her illness and how this affected her actions in the story. We considered how the narrator's experiences he tells us about were twenty years after his trip on the cruise ship and how memories change as years pass by. We also read two poems and a short story brought in by three of us. Dorthy's poem, Shadows, is what she wrote for the boys in her family after her husband died. Cathy's poem is about how everyone in her kin are different, but they are still a family. Cathy is the young girl on the left side at the bottom of the page. I brought in Josh's Creation Myth, a short story that tells us how our world was brought into being. Next week we have two short stories written by Gabriel Garcia Marquez: A Very Old Man With Enormous Wings: A Tale For Children and Eva Is Inside Her Cat.
