"Hating Goldie"

                      This passage was very intriguing to me because when i first read the title i thought it would have something to do with someone or a group of people "hating" a person called goldie. After i read about other books the author had writen and the types of literature she was interested in i began to think that the story must have some connection with a women or a girl faceing some challenge.
                     On the surface of the story the reader can just see the narrators point of view on how her life had went and we are supposed to make an assumption on how much of her lack of success was really to blame on her parents. The passage went on in a depressing tone that actually could make a reader feel sorry for someone who was so fortunate but suffered alone.
                       However for me the passage had really nothing to do with the narrator hating her canary "Goldie", it was about her inability took look past herself and what happened or didnt happen to her  throughout that made her who she was. Instead of realizing that it was her and only her who held herself back from whatever future she could have seen for herself, she chose the easier way out and managed to find a problem in her almost perfect and easy life. This goes to show that even if u give someone the world they will find something wrong with the "wraping" so to speak.

  1. I like what you had to say about the "wrapping" in the last paragraph. Reminds me of people I know who will never be satisfied no matter what happens to them.
