Memior Analasis

This is Emo:

What I’m getting from this is that stories in general that people hear, see, and know give us a false interpretation of what love is. There are certainly valid reasons as to why a person would feel this way, but I find it hard to believe that people as a whole base what they think love and life are on things they see and hear in entertainment. Children, sure, they have no life experiences to go on, but once a person has enough life journeys to conjure together, they can surely start to determine what is true and what isn’t. If the author of this memoir is going to blame the false telling of entertainment for his failed love life, then the author really needs to go out and explore the world more. It just all feels like they are looking for a way out of thinking that what happened to them was something unfathomable. Failed ‘love’ happens more than actual love does, and excuse the entertainment world for wanting to give a good story, not a lousy one most of the world is used to!


Us and Them:
In my eyes, this really just dwindles down to not assuming things about people you don’t know. The Tomkey’s were not what the author’s family was used to, and there for started a streak of curiosity in him as a young kid. When they bothered the author’s family the night after Halloween, the curiosity seemed to grow into more of a dislike, because of their odd habits. They also made the author angry because he had to give up their candy, and though it was quite selfish of the author to be so rude as to make a fuss about them taking some, it made them even more apprehensive to become friends with the Tomskey’s. In fact, after they had disrupted the author’s evening they stated that a hatred was now imparted on the Tomskey’s. They agreed they had been piggish and selfish, but they could never really get over that one night when they had taken the candy the night after Halloween
