“What I
Am” brought up many emotions as I was reading it. This story is very relatable to anyone who as
a close connection with their family such as I.
As the story switched from person to person I began to put myself in
their shoes or relate that person to someone in my own family. For example, when
the mother is out in the cold just waiting for her son pretty boy to get back
this reminded me of my own mother and how I know she cares so much about our
family. Parts like that of the story made
me feel happy and reminded me of good things. However when the story would talk
about the death of pretty boy and the death of the mother this made me feel
upset and sad. The way this story was written and how it switched from
different time periods and different people gave me a very unique perspective
of other people’s reactions and feelings to the circumstances that happened in
the story. This variety of perspectives
allowed me to feel and understand many different emotions from the story and
they were the reason I went from being happy to sad and then back to happy so
quickly. In this story the identity of
the family was very obvious to me. This family was very close-knit and never
forgot where they came from.
