Once Upon A Time????

Paranoia seems to be the foundation of this story. It doesn't seem that the couple mentioned in the story was living happily ever after at all. This story reminds me of how people assume that bad things are going to happen but never do. I wonder why the narrator identified the couple as man and wife and never gave them a real name. This is kinda of weird. It's like the narrator put all of her fears of living in a house of her own and imagined everything that could go wrong. She began to over exaggerate her feelings and scare not only herself but she will be able to put fear into a new home owners minds. I think that the narrator needs to take a breather and relax. Being afraid is only in the mind.

A & P

What can I say....interesting story. It was awkward but intriguing how it took place in a grocery store. I think that the main character was much observant to was going on with in the store. He was also a very sarcastic young man. In observing the girls that came into the store, he gave them names and stereotyped them without even knowing who they were. It's funny how this character reminds the reader of how often stereotypes are often made.
This cenerio is often seen amung us today. It's typical and very common. The idea of the group of girls going into the store in swim wear was also common. If this were to happen today, there would be more than just assumptions going on. There has been many occasions where this has happened and people assumed things. The reality of it all is weather or not we will let it continue to happen.

Where are you going where have you been? (Part 2)

As this story progresses, there are some interesting things that began to take place. Arnold Friend comes into the picture and I think he is quitethe character. He has great stalker potiential. He is creepy out of this world.

Throughout the story, he tries to get Connie in his car. He tells her all these details about how great this ride is supposed to be, but it's not convincing enough. The other character Ellie, Arnolds' friend just sits in the car witha radio attached to his ear. He pays no reeal attention to what arnold is trying to do, he just sits in the car and mumble the sounds and words of the songs.

Futhermore, Connie can sense that something was not right with Arnold character and resists him with all her might. As I looked deeper into the text I could also sense the level of crazieness that was begining to take place. There also came about great hesitaion when the mood rises to the climax of the story. Weird things began to take place and a forceful feel comes about.

As I continued on with the story, I found some things to be very fishy or should I say concerning. I think that there could also have been a lot more added on to this story.

Connie Cont'd

Connies friends seem outgoing and always there when needed. Her friends, i think deal with a lot of her problems. Connie vents all her problems to her friends and never to family, so it seems. I'm wondering if her relationship with her family will get any better to the point where she will be able to appreciate them more.
Connie is in a stage where it apparent that she enjoys guys and is getting a feel for who she really is. I think that Connie dosent actually know exactly what she wants yet but is looking for those things that begin to tickle her fancy.

Connie (Part 1) Where are you going where have you been?

Connie seems really self conscience. She seems as if she wants and needs a lot of attention. Her mother cared more about her sisters worry abouts than hers. Connie and her moms relationship does not seem like it will last at all. Her mom is always praising everything that her sister is doing and could care less about Connies.
