“Through the Tunnel” Foster Youth Initiation

Even though they don’t have to swim through a tunnel like Jerry in “Through the Tunnel” by Doris Lessing, foster youth are initiated into the foster care system. As a foster youth, I know I was initiated when I went through the stages of loneliness, anger, and depression. The reason I felt lonely was because I was taken away from the people I loved and felt secured around. A minute later I felt anger because it wasn't my fault that I wasn't taken away from family, but it was them. They were the reason why I'm not with them today. Going through depression was the worst. I would feel like there is no reason to care or respect anybody in general. As a result of this initiation, I learned how to be strong and very responsible (when I feel like it).

“Through the Tunnel” Prove Yourself Paragraph

The day that I had to prove myself was when Beth, the Residential Director, had a meeting with both my house parents and my social workes including me. She told me that I had the potential to be a leader in my house. I looked at her like she said something out of the ordinary. I heard the same thing from other people and I always blew it off. But when she said it, I felt like my heart stopped. I started thinking about what she said. She told me that the middle school kids in my house look up to me and I may not see, but it's true. So ever since then I try to set a good example around the house especially around the youngsters. I felt good knowing that I can be a good role model to somebody.

"Lamb to the Slaughter" - I'm the Detective

If Iwas the detective investigating the murder of Patrick Maloney in "Lamb of the Slaughter" by Roald Dahl, I would have looked deeper in the story that Mrs. Maloney told me and take the process step by step. I would have hired FBI and probably call in the Husband's job and tak to his boss and co-workers. I would have cantacted his friends and see if they knew anything with him. I would have been a great detective.

"Lamb to the Slaughter" Mary's Giggling

At the end of “Lamb to the Slaughter” by Roald Dahl, Mary Maloney begins giggling because the policemen were trying to find the weapon, but what they didn't know was that they were eating it. Mrs. Maloney killed her husband with a piece of lamb by wacking it to his head. She put the big piece af meat in the oven so it would look like she didn't kill him. When the policemen were searching aroud for a big club they didn't suspect it to be the meat. After the police leave the house, I predict Mary will have a melt down and repeat the same thing with other guys that would leave her.

Situational Irony in My Life

When I was 6 months old, I thought that my mother suppose to take care of me. My grandma and my sisters were the ones feeding me, changing my diapers, and taking my baths. You can say my mom wasn't being a responsible person. They were the ones raising me. As I got older, I noticed that my mother wasn't showing me the motherly love that my siblings and grandma showed me.
