Thank you, Ma'm by Langston Hughes

This sotry was very interesting. The fact that the elderly lady was able to defend herself was great. Not alot of elderly people can do that. On the other hand in the story instead of running away or calling the cops like most people would do, she drag's him to her house, wash his face and gave him food. Knowing that she did some bad things in her past as well. She asked him why he tried to rob her and after he gave her the reason. After she heard what he said she gave him the 10 dollars so he can buy his sueade shoes. I wonder what would have happened if she called the cops. What would have Roger life been like? what was Roger life like after he got the sueade shoes?

Indenspencible friendship

Friends are easy to come by. Finding a true friendship is like finding a shooting star in the sky. I have many friends but I only have a few true friends. Having too many true friends would cause you trouble. One day you and one of you’re so called true friends will get into an argument with you and those things that you thought was just between you and that person would be used against you. I’ve seen so called best friends argue and when that happens a lot off each other business gets put out there in the open for everyone to hear. I f these best friends are suppose to be your true friends then why is your business getting put out there. Me and my friend Kasiem never got into an argument because we think somewhat alike. Yea sure we have different point of views on topics, were from two different cultures, we have different hobbies but one thing we have in common is that always are ourselves. A lot of my other friends are themselves too but they just can’t be trusted too much. If you trust to many people to much then you’re more vulnerable to letting a lot of people hurt you, physically and emotionally. You can only be a true friend if you’re true to yourself.
