The past week we had to read and annotate three short stories. I chose "At Sea", "How the Leopard Got His Spots", and "The Magic Bon Bons". This assignment was based for a future literary analysis. Out of three stories I think that "At Sea" will be the best for a literary analysis. I think it will be a great story for this paper because it can be interpreted in different way. For example, the theme of the story can be processed differently by one person than from another person.
I can relate to the story "At Sea" because on my baseball team we had an injured player and we all came together and helped him get back and playing again. I really liked the plot to "How The Leopard Got His Spots"and the symbolism that went along with that question throughout the story. The short story "The Magic Bon Bons"was very hard to understand the point of it. I got the obvious part if you eat these magic bon bons you will have a beautiful talent ,but I had a hard time trying to find the deeper meaning to it.
