Why Don't You Dance?

I liked this story because I found it unusual that the couple just gets to the house and start drinking with the guy without really knowing him and then they danced.
I saw that this author uses a lot of imagery and ambiguity because we never know if for a fact the guy who sold them the things was the real owner or why did they behave the way they did.

Gabriel Garcia Marquez

The roses remind me of the story The Sea of Lost Time because in the story the townspeople smelled the roses and with that smell came change to their town.

Rhino in me

There is times when like any other teenager I've become a Rhinoceros and just go along with the flow and not stand up for my ideas and my believes because it seems easier to swim within the flow than trying to be a salmon swimming against the current. I've also not been a rhino when I decide to stand up for my ideals and try to be different from everyone else. Once in a while it's good to be different and stand up for what one believes.
