first time. I was out of breath and on the verge of quitting because of the struggle that I was experiencing. The voice of Ms. Bulleit, my coach, ran through my ear saying “one step at a time.” Blood was on my knees from the hill’s rocky surface. I stood up ignoring my pain and continued the long, arduous run. Struggle periods in one’s lifetime leads to accomplishment and growth, overcoming obstacles like mine can be seen in coming of age short stories. “The Man Who Was Almost a Man” by Richard…

Young men, in particular, would often feel compelled to practice specific behaviors to achieve a sense of pride and maturity.

In the story “The Seventh Man,” a young boy, The Seventh Man, and his friend take a walk by the beach during the eye of a hurricane. They were innocently looking at the scraps of objects lying on the beach when a giant wave came through and swept away the boys friend. The story is filled with conflict between the Seventh Man and his failure to save K.

It is for these reasons and prior…
