    Reading this short fiction story for the first time had me confused, until I read it the second time that’s when my eyes were wide open and surprised how Calixta and her ex-lover got away with having sex without their wife or husband finding out. I think this short story relates to how cheating and having hidden affairs still happens now in modern life, thus the characters kept the plot of the story on my edge of my seat. I was thinking her husband Bobinot and their son Bibi were going to catch her and her ex-lover on the scene while having intercourse.…

    When I was a kid I use to play with all kinds of toys, I played with legos,action figures,RCe cars,trucks,hot wheels,nerf guns,playdough,video games,water guns,Pokemon cards. I played with a lot of toys when I was little and they were boy toys none of them was girly at all.

    I think it depends on the situation. My reason is that if there was a bully and was trying to hit you you should defend yourself so you shouldn't have to be hit or something like that. But in the story he thought he was treating him. But sometimes it could start on a full riot and fight until teachers or adults come in and stop it. If people were peaceful and chill and ok with it then nothing will happen no fights they could say ''I'm sorry i didn't know there was a time limit' but instead it's like full on war.…
