“The Highwayman” and “Typhoid Fever” Comparison

In “The Highwayman” to the characters in “Typhoid Fever", Patricia and the landlord's daughter both died at the end of the story. Landlord's daughter name Bess could not talk to her friend just like how Patricia couldn't talk to Frankie. Bess was trying to warn the red-coats were in her house, trying to save a love one. For example, in the story "The Highwayman", Bess could not get away she either had to die with a gun pointed at her. In "Typhoid Fever", Patricia talks to Frankie when she knew she wasn't allowed to and she died from her disease she had. Frank should hear the end of "The Highwayman" because he would understand why Patricia died. In both stories they were in love with two guys.

“’Typhoid Fever’– Present Tense Childhood Memory.”

I am 7 years old and it is a Saturday morning. I am walking with my grandpa around the neighborhood looking for cans to make money. My grandpa asked, “Why do you always wake up so early to come with me”? I said, “I like spending time with you”. We are both walking to a huge green sticky garbage can, there is cans, plastic bottles, and glass bottles on the ground. I jump and jump and couldn`t see inside the trashcan. my grandpa looked in and said, “There`s a lot of cans on one side; and trash is on the other side, isn`t that a little weird”? I think to myself, “hmmm that's weird, it`s like someone did it for us”. Reaching in with the picker-upper and moving things around. My grandpa was reaching for a can below and couldn`t see, all of a sudden a man`s voice yells; “Hey! What are you doing?!”. My grandpa and I step back. There he was, a homeless guy sleeping in a trashcan. He just stared at us and said, “You pinch me”. I laughed. My grandpa didn`t understand what the homeless guy was saying, I then translate. My grandpas ask me to ask him if he wants those cans, and the homeless guy said, “Oh, no. I am fine, I don`t want it”. My grandpa apologizes and we said goodbye. Walking up the hill on our way back home, we laugh and laugh.

"The Storyteller" Plot Diagram

“’The Storyteller’ - Memorable Books from My Childhood.”

1.)Where The Wild Things Are by Maurice Sendak**
2.)Clifford, the Big Red Dog by Norman Bridwell *
3.)The Very Hungry Caterpillar by Eric Carle***
4.)Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What do you see? by Bill Martin, Jr.****
5.)Corduroy by Don Freeman*****

The book call Corduroy by Don Freeman was my favorite book when I was younger. Corduroy is the bears name, he is lonely and sad because no one would buy him. No one would buy him because he has a missing button. While Corduroy searches everywhere for his button, he finds a little girl who wants him but not his button. Corduroy did not find his button but found someone who loves him for who he is, even though he has a missing button. This book captured my interest because you don`t have to fix your personality or looks for someone to love you. They should love you for who you`re, just like Corduroy; you just have to be patient.

“Cafeteria Line from Different Points of View.”

First-Person Narration (A stern cook)
Those ungrateful kids! They don`t appreciate anything! I cook them food and they decide to throw it at each other. After that, I have to clean the cafeteria all day when I can be at home with my wife and kids.


Third-Person-limited Narration (Playful student)
I am so angry! I`m going to put food in her backpack and throw milk in her face! When I am done with that, she is going to give me her money for tomorrow`s lunch.


Omniscient Narration (hungry student)
I can see the stern cook getting angry and the annoying playful student putting food in the girl`s backpack. Everyone is getting irritated including me, and especially the stern cook.
