Title : Treading on Dreams

One of a story that I've read from that book is 'My Oedipus Complex'. by Frank O'Connor.

After the First World War, Larry's father, an army officer, returned to his life. Larry grew jealous as his mother seemed to prefer talking to his father than playing with him. Meanwhile, his father doesn't like Larry's spoiled and childish behavior when he's with his mother. However, as time passed, Larry and his father grew closer and understood each other more.

I love Larry because he looks at everything from his childlike point of view. I feel like children's perceptions of the world are just so pure and fun. Seeing their perception shows how fun the world truly is without life obstacles or overthinking about anything.

I made this poem because I want to explain that Larry was so loud and raving with enthusiasm when talked about his adventures to his mother. However, Larry was rebellious because he didn't want to obey his mother's words to keep quiet while his father was talking or sleeping. I think he is represented as youthful because his behaviors depict a childhood that was very relatable for us. He liked doing funny things just to seek attention, especially his mother's.

Title : Being Frank

The story is about Frank who always told the truth, but his honest comments often offended his friends, teachers, and also his mother. They ended up distanced and scolded Frank, so he told his grandpa about his problems and asked for help. His grandpa helped him realize that it's okay being honest and truthful all the time, by saying the liked side than the disliked side. So Frank did what his grandpa said and his surrounding liked him again.

I chose Frank because I feel connected to him. I often can't watch my words when I give bad opinions about something or someone, even though it is true, and I was just being honest. This story taught me so much about being honest without hurting someone's feelings.

I wrote this poem because Frank was always being frank and straight-forward with everyone, even if it was hurtful to them. Although his honesty often hurt, he wanted to be responsible by telling them the truth in a good way and making up with them. He also inspired us to be better. Frank has a kind heart to always be honest, his intentions were good but he is too naive to not know that being honest can also offend people.

Title : The Railway Children

Author : Edith Nesbit

Word Count : 9,295

The story is about three siblings: Roberta, Peter, and Phyllis. They lived as a happy and wealthy family with their parents. But one day, they leave their home in London with their mother because something happened to their father. Then they lived in a small house near the railway in a country town. They always come to the railway, which is their only solace as they don't go to school anymore. In that place, their journey began.

This is my drawing from one of this book's scene. Why did I choose this scene? I chose this scene because I love how the siblings work together to get their old man's attention. The mother was sick, so they are giving the old man a letter, hoping he can help them and their mother. What I find interesting about this scene is that I love how Peter is just standing from afar with a large sheet that says 'LOOK OUT AT THE STATION'. And when the old gentleman looked outside, he saw Phyllis running towards him with a letter in her hand. It's just so wholesome to me.

I think it's a great story about family and togetherness. No wonder it was made into a movie.
