Editorial Section

This book deserves to be on the college book list. This book has many elements that make it belong on the list. The reading level is high enough and the elements of the book are a bit challenging when it comes to figuring out the relationships with people. Some of the references in the book are also hard to understand like, “And somewhat as in blind night, on a mild sea, a sailor may be made aware of an iceberg, fanged and mortal, bearing invisibly near, by the unwarned charm of its breath, nothingness now revealed itself: that permanent night upon which the stars in their expiring generations are less than the glinting of gnats, and nebulae, more trivial than winter breath; that darkness in which eternity lies bent and pale, a dead snake in a jar, and infinity is the sparkling of a wren blown out to sea; that inconceivable chasm of invulnerable silence in which cataclysms of galaxies rave mute as amber.”  That quote is one that someone find to be pretty hard.

Letter to the Editor

Dear Editor,

The book was great! I just don’t think it was good enough to be on the college list. There are many things. Like how the plot wasn’t very challenging to understand. I also think it should’ve made it were you get attached to the character. Also, the plot wasn’t very exciting. Got to put a bit more action in it. Religion was a nice touch but I feel like it is a pretty touchy subject. Although the point of religion does add a nice touch. I honestly think that the challenging words and the talk a of religion are the only things that make it college list acceptable.

Sincerely,

Bailey Neff

Dear Editor,

I really wasn’t around for long to make the reader become attached to me. I feel like if I was around longer the reader would really feel the emotion of having to lose someone. I also think that it would help the reader understand the relationships and the conflict more. If I would’ve stayed around longer then the reader could make more connections to the people that they have lost and how their family reacted. Everyone has lost someone they loved so if the reader knew more about me and how I really was so they can really dig deep and understand the book emotionally and mentally. Thank you for hopefully taking my opinions into consideration.

Sincerely,

Jay.

Sports

Welcome to the sports section. Today we will be going over a big fight between the need for religion and loss. These two things play a big part in the story “A death in the Family”. The conflict is really dealing with religion. The lose of Jay helped Mary get back into her catholic beliefs. Which causes the family to fight.

The family doesn’t just fight over the main reason of religion but other things. Jay’s death brings out the worst in the family. A couple of the things that the family fights over are money, the house, belongings, custody,and many other things.

Theme article

The book really focus into the family getting into religion. Religion really plays a big part into the story. The book doesn’t only says that Jay’s father was a devoted catholic and so was Mary, Jay’s wife. Jay wasn’t very religious at all. After Jay’s death Mary found herself getting closer with god as she mourned the lose of her husband.

Another theme of the story is being there for you family when they need you the most. After Jay’s death everyone in the family really helped out. Everyone helped with the kids and really overall just being there for each other.
