The Lady, or the Tiger?" Before You Read: Choice
I have never had to choose between something good for me or someone else. If I did I would probably choose something good for me. Only because my mom said that I don't have to worry about anybody but myself. It's not that I'm selfish or anything I just see no point into helping somebody else. That only wastes my time from doing something for me. Every once in a while I'll help someone to help me. Overall I think helping yourself is more important than helping someone else.
"Marigolds" Before You Read: Moving into Adulthood
Some conflicts or fear we young people have going into adulthood is money. We wonder if we will have enough to pay for food or a place to stay. Also we fear of certain responsibilities and punishments. Like if we drive without a seat belt on we have to pay for it also we are responsible for who is in the car. Also college is a fear for some young people going into adulthood because now most jobs require a college degree. Overall there are many different fears and conflicts for youth going into adulthood.
"Thank You M'am" Before You Read: Going Gets Tough
There is some truth to the saying “When the going gets tough, the tough get going.” Almost like the survival of the fittest, the ones that are stronger will survive longer. Some people just know how to not give up because they have a really strong will that can't be broken as easily as others. Not everyone is physically tough in fact, most people who have to go through tough situations are mentally tough. Your body has limits but your mind doesn't which is the reason why people who are old can get through tough situations then most of us young people. Only because they more experience then others and they probably have came across the certain problem before so they know how to solve it and get past it.

"Dog Star" Chronological Order of Flashback Paragraph
If the narrator told the story "Dog Star" in chronological order it would of made the story less interesting. When a story uses a Flashback it brings in the reader more because the reader wants to know what was the outcome of the situation. If this story did not have a flash back you would not understand the story or what the narrator was talking about. An example was when the narrator was lying in his bed and was on the moon and he felt an earthquake he wanted to tell Laika, the dog that is still on earth dead, to be quiet. If narrator did not tell the reader what happenend before that incident the reader would be clueless therefore this story needs the flashback to fully understand the story.
