The Three Stories

   After reading the three stories, I was thinking to myself. All three of these stories have a main character who you hear their thoughts, worries and ideas. At one point in time they are all thinking negatively about the situation at hand. In When Mr. Pirzada Came to Dine, the girl thinks negatively about Mr. Pirzada and his family and home situation. In Learning to Read and Write, Frederick Douglas learns why people don't not want African Americans to read and the true meaning behind abolition. He resents white people and everything they took from him and his people. Finally, in Me Talk Pretty One Day, David Sedaris gets a brutal lesson in French from a teacher. He can't do or say anything right to appease his teacher. The three main characters are faced with negativity that nearly consumes them, but they are able to overcome and come out in the end as stronger people who have a better understanding of the world. Although, some of the lessons that they learn are not the easiest to understand at first, but make them stronger and more intuitive people in the end.
