There’s another aspect of this story that called my attention and was about the similarity of all the stories and how could be these connected because all the stories in a way. With respect to drugs and alcohol and there’s also something sad about at least one character in each story that makes me think bout the author and how the author lived and the moment in history in which he wrote this stories.
I’m amazed how people have the ability to hurt people and really ruin their life’s and then act like if nothing had happen that’s not how life works lets say Eileen calling his ex like if nothing had happened you have to stand up for what each person does and you cant expect that after you do something wrong then you can act normal. She left him with two little kids under his charge and that’s not easy and more when he couldn’t find baby sitter.
But I liked this story because it shows a little that not everything in life is bad that there’s going to be rough times but everything comes back to place. He found Carol who standed by him and then Mrs. Webster who changed his life.
This story really got to me because it’s the typical story of movies that ends in a sad way and also reminded me to life stories in which drunken people kill others because of drinking and driving. I also got a little bit confused with the beginning nut at the end it was all connected. But it is incredible how life can change in one minute like howard said that nothing had been wrong “Until now, his life had gone smoothly …” he had never had a loss and then this shock, and to think that it an happen any minute. And really the cake or the cake man what I mean is that we never expect for nothing to happen to our loved ones but even the day of his birthday can happen.
One time I had a friend that lived in Miami and was doing donut and he was going very fast when he fell he hit his head really hard so much that he was in comma like for 1 month and when he finally woke up he had to learn everything again. But the shocking part is that you think that nothing can happen to you but from one moment to another your life can be down.
Once again we see alcohol involved in a story. It starts with everything and every scene containing alcohol. This story was different because it kinds of reflects what people live daily with work and with surviving but it gives the story a negative and sad tone its not very real its really negative because everything that happens is bad and everything that she says is like if nothing could go the right way and it actually doesn’t. Throughout all the story I was thinking that that’s not always bad that it is not like that her job doesn’t work his boy goes with another one and they only drink they never think beyond what is happening to them in the minute.
There’s a time in the story where starts wondering about why people don’t drink vitamins or why don’t they buy them or why do her sales woman quit and she kinds if gives up, in that moment I connected with that because theres time in life were nothing goes right and we wonder why but eventually we find a way out she never did. I wonder if the writer was passing through a hard moment or if alcohol influenced something in his life.
