Vet

The poem where the the veteran is at the Vietnam memorial (I don't remember the name) was a really good one. It was very emotional and just all around good. I think the things he saw in the mirror were flashbacks about when he was in the war. I also have somewhat a personal connection to this poem, kinda. I have a friend who was sent to Iraq and stepped on an IED and got both his legs blown off, completely. He also is now blind in both eyes. He had PTSD for a while after he get home. Also goes to show that people who have PTSD and suffered a lot in the war can also live out the rest of their lives once they get over it, if they ever do. My friend is now married and has a son who is almost two years old.

Dammit, Grandma!

In A Good Man Is Hard To Find the grandma should have just kept her mouth shut and enjoyed the ride. It was all her fault that they ran into the misfit and got everyone killed. She was so stubborn that she couldn't accept that her directions were wrong! She may have even planned for them to get lost all along. Who knows, she probably did. Grandma's can be mean sometimes. I really did not like the grandma, as you can tell. That aside, I thought it was a pretty good short story. It was interesting. It made me mad at times, but it was interesting. I wonder if that cat lived or not? Did it escape of did the misfit hunt it down and make a chinese food out of it?
