Stories

During the break I read the Storie called A&P. This story was about the things a boy went through when his crush came around. He acted before he thought and his actions cost him, he ended up with no job and just pretty much made himself  look dumb trying to impress the girls.
Story
It was a nice day outside considering it was winter. Thawing ice and snow covered the ground leaving it wet and slick. Her best friends pulled up to pay her a visit they were talking about the sleding trip they made to the mountains earlier that week.
 She was trying to act cool and keep up in the converstation. She picked up her little brothers razor scooter and started riding up and down the sidewalk. When her friend said lets go to the store she went down the drive way on the scooter towards her friends car. She got half way to the bottom when she hit a patch of ice and lost control of the scooter. She slipped on the ice and fell right on her back. All she heard was the roar of laughter coming from her friends she picked herself up off the ground only to reveal a soaking wet backside. She had become the laugh of the day.

I think that the characters are portrayed nicely. The husband in the begining is confused he doesnt know how to act about having a blind person in his home. At first he came off as a little bit preludice towards blind people. Later in the story his attitute changes he starts to understand how to interact with the man and in the end I would say they become friends.
