Angelas Ashes Frank McCourt




Significance
This book/work matters because it shows that you should love your parents no matter what, it shows you should be thankful for what you have because some one could have less advantages than you or be in a worse situation that you
Perspective
Frank McCourt created this book as a memoir the time period was between the thirties and the forties beginning during the depression and world war two
Evidence
I have no evidence
Connection
This event does not effect us today
Supposition
I would have predicted that frank would have become stupid because of the way he was raised not going to school all the time but he actually became a really smart person. If i changed the situation and made franks father regular with no more drinking problems then frank would have had a better life being able to eat more than just tea and bread and would have had more opportunities in life he would also get to spend more time with his father .

Rascal by Sterling North



Significance
Rascal is about a adventurous little boy who stumbles upon a family of racoons and when he catches one the bond between the boy and the baby racoon begin. This book shows that friendship is worth more than you can ever imagine!
Perspective
I think that in this book the author was relating himself to one of the characters because Sterling North uses the same name for the little boy as his. Sterling (the little boy) has only his father which is usually away on business and both sisters live far so Sterlings family is really only his animals .
Evidence
Sterling and Rascal (his pet racoon) have an incredible bond but is letting Rascal back into the wild the right thing to do??? Is Sterling being selfish ?? Or is his little friend meant to stay in captivity forever?? Sterling must decide and make the right decision both answers will change his life forever.
Connections
Rascal and Sterlings bond connects to the real world because at some point in your life you have a strong bond with some one it could be your best friend your dog or cat your teacher or your sibling but every one has some kind of friendship.
Supposition
If Sterling never found Rascal and his family their never would have been a bond and sterling would not have to make a decision affecting a big part of his life.
