Imagine having your Grandma from Hong Kong coming to America to live with you. That what happens to Stacy in the story, Ribbons.
It was very hard to identify the mode of literature, but it is a comedy. At first I thought it was a romance because it had a life affirming symbol at the end it but then I realized it wasn’t because it wasn’t a perfect world. But it had a the requirements for a comedy. I know it’s a comedy because first of all it started out with normalcy, the conflict arises when her Stacy’s grandma won’t let her put on the ballet shoes, the resolution is the grandma realizes that the shoes are for dancing and it’s a return to normalcy.
It seemed like her grandma was being mean because she was not letting Stacy dance. But in the end her grandma really wasn’t mean. She was just trying to protect Stacy because she didn’t know what the shoes were for. Her grandma thought the shoes would make here feet all crooked like her parents did to her.
This story reminds me of every-day life because there is a lot of misunderstanding things that people think is bad but are actually good. It also relates to every-day life because there is a lot of people’s relatives moving to America from different countries

What would I buy if I won the Lottery
I was sitting in my living room watching the TV, when all of a sudden, I heard my lottery numbers on the news. It felt like I swallowed my heart, and I almost blacked out. I rushed to the Lottery office to pick up the check.
The first thing I would spend my money on is a big house out in the country with huge, wide open fields. I don’t think I’d like a big and fancy mansion, just a normal sized house. I would live out in the country because I don’t like the sound of cars driving by my house all the time, I like places that are quiet and there are barely any cars. And I really like the scenery in the country.
The second thing I would buy is a big recording studio for my bass guitar. It would have a huge editing system, a sound proof room, a huge case for all my basses that I bought, and a big computer that I could mix all my CD’s on. If I had all that I would freak out, I’d spend all my free time I had in my recording studio. That would be my number one wish to have a recording studio in my house.
The last thing I would probably buy with my money would be a gigantic dirt bike trail. That’s one of the reasons I would want to live in the country, because of all the land I would have. It would be so fun to just ride around on a dirt bike along a long dirt trail with beautiful scenery. And it would be cool to have friends over so we could race or something.
If I had a billion dollars I would probably buy a lot more things than just these, but these would be my top three things on my list to buy. Hopefully some day I will win the lottery, and actually have all these amazing things.

Papa's Parrot
Parents need to realize that their kids grow up and not want to hang out with them as much. That’s what happened in this comedy with an every day character named Harry named “Papa’s Parrot”. This story shows an impressive amount of things that relate to real life.
Papa’s Parrot mode of literature is definitely a comedy. It starts out with normalcy. The mild conflict is when Harry grows up and does not want to hang out with his parents as much because now he is by his friends more. When Harry realizes the conflict between him and his dad, he hears the parrot saying, “Where’s Harry”, “Miss him”. Lastly, Harry resolved that conflict by going back to the hospital and visiting his dad.
Harry is just another kid who grows up and doesn’t want to spend a lot of time with his parents anymore, Which that’s what most kids do. But later on in the story, Harry realizes that his dad really missed him and wanted Harry to spend more time with him.
I think this story can relate to real life because this happens a lot in every day life. I sometimes don’t want to spend time with my parents as much because I’m hanging out with my friends a lot, but I always find some time so I can be with my parents also.
“Papa’s Parrot” is a great comedy tat anybody can compare to real life. Kids grow up and not want to hang out with their parents as much and the parents need to realize that. “Papa’s parrot” is an excellent life lesson story.
