“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!
