Fishing or the Girl?

Imagine you finally build up the courage to ask your crush on a date. You make sure everything is perfect just for that special evening. You’re finally on the date and everything starts to go wrong, your date hates to do your favorite thing, she is constantly complaining, and she left you for another boy! That is exactly what happened to the Narrator in the story “The Bass, The River, and Sheila Mant by W.D. Wetherell.” I think that the Narrator should have left his date for the bass he snagged on their way to the concert.

I think that the Narrator should have left Sheila for the bass because Sheila Mant wasn’t very nice to him. One way Sheila wasn’t very nice to the Narrator would be that she only talks about herself. She would even talk about another boy Eric Caswell who would tell her she has the figure of a model and he has a car, things she wants in a boy. Another example of how Sheila wasn’t nice to him was when she left him for another boy after the dance “All I really remember is her coming over to me once the music was done to explain that she would be going home in Eric Caswell’s Corvette.” Finally she only danced with him once or twice; after all of the stress he went through that night, letting the fish go.





Next Sheila Mant and the Narrator have nothing in common. To start Sheila hates fishing. In the short story Sheila Mant refers to fishing as “boring” and “Definitely dumb.” The Narrator on the other hand has a deep passion for fishing; he said he never went anywhere that summer without his fishing rod and when he wasn’t swimming to impress Sheila he would be practicing his casting, testing the reel’s drag, or he would be just fishing. Also Sheila Mant is social and the narrator is shy. In the story it said that the Mants would have parties and soft ball games constantly. The Narrator was shy because during the short story he would always watch Sheila to see what she was like, but he would never approach her. Finally Sheila wants to go by car, but the Narrator insist on going by canoe because he doesn’t have a car and he is always in it for fishing he even refers to it as his master stroke.

From a different point of view I can see why the Narrator chooses Sheila Mant over the bass. The Narrator spent all day preparing for that night and he had spent the whole summer dreaming about her. He watched her from a distance to learn anything about her such as any of her moods for an example “before July was over I had learned all her moods, if she lay flat on the diving board with her hand trailing idly in the water, she was pensive not to be disturbed...” Even thou these things might be true, the Narrator said “before the month was over, the spell she cast over me was gone, but the memory of that lost bass haunted me...”

When reading the “Bass, the River, and Sheila Mant by W.D. Wetherell” I came to realize that the Narrator should stick to fishing because it is what he loves to do. Finally by the end of the short story I think he realizes that to. That is why I think that the Narrator should have left his date for the bass he snagged on the way to the concert.

Rasing a family how exciting, but where to do it? In the city or country? There are plenty of special things to love about each place. If I were to raise a family I would raise them in the country. I think the country is a good place to raise a family because the country is a place to explore, it is a quite place, and you get to know your neighbors.

You're sitting outside on your porch enjoying a cool fall day. Your family dog comes sits by you. He keeps you company. I clearly think dogs are the better domestic animal because they are loyal, they are clean, and they can stay outside.

I think the theme in the story "The Djinn Who Lives Between Night and Day" is don't believe everything you hear. This applies to the story when Tayab tells the woman who lost all of her children that he was the angel of the gate and he would bring her children back to life only if she keep faith in him. This applyies in my life when I hear something that I don't know much about.

Over the summer I did a lot of things like running and swimming but one of my favorite things to do was showing my cows at 4-H Round up. In early August my two brothers, my sister and I went to Harford to show our cows for the Round up show. I took my red and white Holstein fall calf and my Black and white Holstein summer yearling. My first show that day was with my fall calf, I was really excited and a little nervous to get into the show ring.

In the ring she led like a dream and I was feeling good about her.  When the judge lined up our calves I was in first place I was so happy because that meant she could come back later into the show for the Jr. Champion or reserve Jr. Champion title. My next show was with my summer yearling calf. Her show was right after my read and whites so I had to hurry to get ready on time. In that class I got fourth witch was still pretty good. For the next show I would leave her at home. The last show for me that day was going back in for Jr. Champion. In the ring lining up the judge already chose the Jr. Champion I was still hoping for Reserve Jr. Champion!  The judge signaled my calf into the Reserve Jr. Champion spot. That was the first Reserve Jr. Champion I ever got at a cow show! It was a lot of fun and i couldn’t wait for the next show!

Hi my name is Kenzie Jones and I have five sibblings and this is a discription of my English binder.  First my meaningful quote is the greater the effort the greater the glory by Pierre Corneille from Brainy quote .com. I like this quote because it means in any thing you do you can succeed  if u work hard. My first picture on my binder is a clip art picture of some on running. I put this on my binder because my favorite sport is cross country! The second picture on my binder is a picture of my personality witch is a simley face. I think a smiley face represents my personality because I feel like im always smileing and trying to be positive. Next my third picture is a picture of the first Harry Potter Book (Harry Potter And The Sorcerer's Stone). Harry Potter And The Sorcerer's Stone was one of the first books that I enjoyed reading. My final picture is of my friends! They are always there for me and I know I can always count on them! Thanks for reading about my visual representation of me prodject!
