Through writing this I am attempting to do the same and I hope to succeed in the same way that others before me have. Although my definition may be different from others, and different from what society tells me it should be, it is a definition that I believe in. Happiness is making the most out of every situation that life throws you into. "That is why, for Christ's sake,
This essay will go through and explain the comparative and contrasting points of the two short stories I read in my English Lit and Comp class. Two men who come from families with a long history of rivalry amongst each other have to work together in order to try and get out of their fatal condition.

“My Father Writes His Story” In this essay I will discuss personal stories from my childhood that will outline similarities and differences of “Western” and “Eastern” cultures. “Western” and “Eastern” countries differ in many ways. They both have their own history, culture and traditions. They also differ by how “Western” and “Eastern” people present themselves and tell stories about themselves.
