My Folkte based off of, "The Unwanted Guest"

Once upon a tie, there was a girl named Alina who went to Correia Middle School. She was very respected by all the teachers and all of them trusted her. One day at lunch time, Alina tripped on a ball and her friend Eva helped her get up. That day during recess a teacher went up to Alina with a jacket in her hand and asked, "Do you know who's jacket this is?" Alina, knowing the jacket was Eva's and ignoring the fact that Eva had helped her, she claimed the jacket as her own. The next day, Alina went to school wearing her, 'new' jacket, oblivious to the fact that she would see Eva. Alina soon came face to face with Eva and Eva examined the jacket and said "Is... s that my jacket?" with a frown upon her face. "Well, well I just, I just wanted to borrow it." No excuse could make Eva feel better. She knew exactly what happened and the was very upset. Soon after the teachers were not treating Alina the same as they usually do. They no longer treated her with respect. Alina grew curious to what was going on so she asked one of her teachers. The teacher simply responded, "Although that jacket may have been cute, nothing is worth more then a friendship."

“The Day I Got Lost” by Isaac Bashevis Singer and “A Dark Brown Dog” by Stephen Crane, are both realistic stories that happen to people today. In both stories, the characters are confused about their own or about other people actions. “A Dark Brown Dog” is filled with heart-throbbing emotion while, “The Day I got Lost”, is about wonderment and disorientation. Both stories are about different things, but they seem to have similar tones.

    In the story, “A Dark Brown Dog”, the tone is bitter,sorrowful, and in some ways perplexed. I think this because the parents never appreciated the dog and the dog always wondered why it was only the little boy who loved him. The story is told in 3rd person. “The Dark Brown Dog” is a heart-wrenching story  that describes the life of an abused dog. In the end of the story, the father threw the dog, and it plummeted out a window and landed two stories down, dead. This was very tragic and the author did a great job showing the emotion.  

“The Day I Got Lost” explains a story of a professor who forgot his own address.He is a very  forgetful man, who couldn't even remember how to get home. The story is told in 1rst person, and the professor is the narrator. “The Day I Got Lost” is a story that makes you think about how the professor lives his everyday life. In the end, the professor makes it home, with help from one of his friends. Although it was upsetting to him that he could not make it home, he did meet a friend that he brought with him!
