Senny’s Quest

“Mom, when will cena be ready?” asked Senny, as she brushed his fur. “Mijo, it’s not time yet,” said his mom, Laura. Sammy, Senny’s dad, walked in and all the pups piled on him. The family gathered for dinner. Each had their own bowl of stew and a bone that Laura made. “Yay, food!” the pups said in unison. “Bone appetit,” their mother said with a wink.
“Today, we will discuss the tale of the twenty golden bones treasure, located in Coconut Island, just a few minutes away,” said Senny’s history teacher. “Those who have searched for this treasure are yet to be found; we don’t know what occurred exactly, but they didn’t find the treasure.

“I want to find it! No, I’m going to find it!” Senny smiled. “Yeah right, like you’re going to find it,” Jimmy, another classmate said. With this, Senny frowned and began to lose his confidence. His friends, Matt and Casey, glanced at him, “Of course he’ll find it, all three of us will,” as they smiled. Senny regained his confidence and smiled back.
“The map says to go this way, wait, no this way,” Matt said, moving left to right. “Whatever, can’t we just find somewhere cozy to sleep?” Casey said with a yawn. “I know, I’m exhausted,” Senny said, out of breath, “But we can’t give up now.” “We can keep searching for the treasure and I expect to leave with it!” As they traveled along, Senny saw with his blue crystal-like eyes what could be an explorer’s worst nightmare...a storm.
Senny gasped “We can’t turn back now,” as his paws touched the sand. Matt and Casey ran up ahead as Senny trailed behind. He had been leading but started tripping over his paws so he told them to go ahead before it gets late. They came upon a sign that read, “KEEP OUT.” “No way we’re going back,” Matt exclaimed. “Definitely not after all this,” Casey

    I want to comment on Sennas protagonist quests. Her protagonist “I had dropped my quest for a “real mother” and yearned for something within my reach: a real ethnicity” (Senna 55). I found this to be depressing because I feel that ethnicity does matter, but not at the point where your questioning yourself. Not only that, but people are always going to talk and try to create drama, but it shouldn’t influence you. I feel that girls get so caught up on what other people say and think, that they forget the person they were yesterday.…
