Assignment for Monday, January 29th.

If I had to resonate myself with any of the characters or families from the three short stories we have read so far, I would resonate myself with the character Earl. Earl is a character in the story My Mother’s Memoirs, My Father’s Lie, and Other True Stories by Russell Banks. I would resonate myself with this character because, like Earl’s mother and father, my grandfather tends to make up stories as well. The fact that my grandfather makes things up doesn’t have as much of an affect on me as it does on Earl. It doesn’t affect me as much because I barely see my grandfather, and I think that he makes things up mostly due to his old age. But, I can relate to Earl in that I too have to deal with family members making up stories, and telling lies.
