Spiro Athanas Letter

Dear Spiro Athanas,

       Hi my name is Raquel and I am 14 going on 15. I have read your story "A Bag of Oranges." Your story was good, but I could forshadow what was going to happen. For example, on page 219 it said "Stavro quickly grabbed the young man's wrist and began squeezing." I could tell he thought he was going to steal it.
       I can relate to the coming of age experience. When I was a little kid I list my father as well. This is similar to the story because Nikos lost his father.My connection is a coming of age experience becaues I had to learn to live without my father.
      The theme of this story is that your parents might be embarrassing to you, but they really care for you. Another theme is that sometimes you will lose someone but you have to move on. For example, when Nikos dad was hit by the car he some what moved on and started to think about the oranges like his father. His father had protected those oranges with his life. Now Nikos has started to protect the oranges, for his father.
