This Trying Not To Tell The Story

The writer of the story made the reader think about the emotions of different people in different situations. It doesn't matter what country, race, or religious belief you are when a tragedies happens to them the emotions of those people are going to be the same. When September 11th happened the emotions of the people weren't different in most cases. The writer also stated that the there are two kinds of people in a tragedy. The victim and victimizer. How victims emotions and feelings are what most people think about. They hardly ever think of how the victimizer felt. I my life this is true. I think people do this because they feel more sympathy for the victim because they are the one that mostly didn't deserve what happened to them and were just an innocent by standard, but the victimizer brought the situations on himself.

My Totally Awesome Funeral

The guy wanted his funeral to be fun. To have people remember all the crazy things he did in his life. He wanted his wife and son well taken care of though. It was important that they were encouraged and comforted on that day. Part of him wanted to go back and relive all the good times he had and to do the things he was always scared to do. He didn't want to be remembered for the things he didn't get done but the things he did. The guy wanted his funeral to be a day people remembered and had fun at.

The Augustus Mackinnon Story

Augustus took his "regular moving" job to the next level. He didn't just move the furniture in the houses and let the owners deal with where they wanted to put it. He challenged himself as he did his job to try different furniture arrangements. He poet and used the methods of writing poetry in arranging furniture. I have no idea where he came up with that idea. Each house he tried to complete a new arrangement. I think that moving furniture would be a boring job. I think Augustus motivation for trying new furniture arrangements was to make the job more interesting and make a challenge for himself at first, but then became something way more. I bet that Augustus was really happy with his achievements and he was probably very bitter when the interior decorators ruined his career. In fact you can tell he was very bitter because he cut her up, which is just morbid. All because she said light fixtures weren't furniture. I can just see this crazy man going around sticking stickers that say furniture on everything.
