THE EGG by Sheerwood Anderson


character : the narrator :the is the son. from the story he presents, we know that is a gloomy man who always sees the darker side in life . he blames on his childhood days spent on the chicken farm instead of happy, joyful days of life.
the father : a cheerful farmhand up to the age of 35, but after he getting married he is influenced by his wife to be ambitious. after ten years(by 45), because of their life then he becomes silent and discouraged. even he tries hard to be succeed, failure overtakes him.
the mother: a silent school teacher who has no desire for her self, but really wants to see both her husband and her son become succed. at the and, she softens a little after realizing that their dreams come true.

between the all character i like the father character because he responsible with his family and he want make his family be happy although he failed to done that but he still want tries hard to be succeed.
the story happened in a chiken farm in the country in the restaurant across the railroad station in bidwell oiho. and i dislike the setting of this story because i can't use my imagination to imagion that setting because i don't know about that place.
the story tell good thing because that story tell about the responsible of the leader of family, and this can be a good example for all man or all father. and the style of this story is personafication.

the important event of this story when her father failed to be a succes man but he still tried to be succes man and want to make his family happy

Death in the wood by sherwood anderson (1879-1941)


the charater : 1. narrator: have a good remember.
2. mrs. Grimes : pattient, strong woman,can survive her life alone.
3.Jake Grimes : selfish, egoism, cruel and rape.
in this story i dislike with the character of jake grimes because he is a man but he didn't be a gentel and he didn't responsible with his family, and there were a romors that the farmer sexually harassed and perhaps even rape the girl.
the setting of the story is a town of the middle west. i like the setting of the story because in this story only have one setting so don't make the reader confused.
i think this story tell about good things because this story tell about the power of woman that can life without her husband and ca survive alone and that the story can tell to all woman in this world that woman can be strong.
i think this story is very reasonable and maybe this story can happened with every woman in this world and this story use figurative language is simile.
i think the event in this story very important because this story tell about the woman emancipation.

A GOOD MAN IS HARD TO FIND BY O'CORNOR

The plot summary of the story; O’Connor,s story is told by a third person narrator, but the focus is on the grandmother’s prespective of events. Eventhough she complain that she would rather go to Tennessee than Florida to vocation.

Setting which is used in the strory is firmly set in the ruler American South

The characters of the story are;

  1. Grandmother
  2. june star
  3. John Wesley
  4. Bailey (granmother’s son)

The theme of the story is an escaped convict and his companions murder a family because of series of mishap on the part of the grandmother.

The point of view of the story is limited omniscient. Because the narator as third singular person. (he/she/it).

Kind of simbolism that is used in the story is the sky at the end of the story is couldless and clear, indicating that the grandmother has died.

A Good Man is Hard to Find

  1. Grandmother has a good character in this story, I like with her character because she one person that has good performance. Patient with Bailey.
  2. The story happen in my opinion, it takes place in a car on the road. In a day when people who have relax to take rest. It takes place in front of Sammy Butt’s barbecue place and I like the setting. It make one imagine how to place is, and guessing what looks like the place is.
  3. yes, it does. This story tell about good things and gives many inspiration when I read this story.
  4. no, it is not reasonable and it uses figurative language. In first part of the story we are taken to the warmer of family, but in the end we will know it end enagically.
  5. The good event in this story is very important. After Bobby and Hiram returned from the wood and stood over the ditch looking down at the grandmother who half sat and half lay in puddle of blood with her face smiling up at the cloudless sky. Without his glasses the misfit’s eyes were red rimmed and pale and diffenseless looking. Take her off and throw her when you thrown the others. He said pick up yhe cat that was rubbing itself against his legs.
