Will Power, alex mota, engl 100, C.C., post#5

"Man's search for meaning" declares how much will power a single man has to survive the brutality of being treated like an animal. The story gives me an idea as to how a human can block out an emotion that brings pain. I am aslo enlightened to know that some of the prisoners have the goodness to give up some of their own food to help their fellow inmates. One would think that in a concentration camp the inmates would act like animals and follow their animal instincts. Instead of giving away their food they would make of their stay at the camp an experince of survival of the fittest.

Bull Hands, alex mota, C.C., engl 100

The story is mainly about a teenager who grew up having a hard life. She grew up being like the odd sheep in the flock, her sisters would tease her because of her hands which her sisters called them "bull hands". To get away from all of this drama she would go to her "abuelitas" home, although they hardly spoke she helped her a lot around the home. She would cook and clean, she also helped her grandma with her personal needs.
