A Streetcar Named Desire has symbols as well; they are not as clear as A Doll’s House but they have just as much meaning. The first is The…

After Santa asked what they each wanted for Christmas, he took two wrapped presents from under the tree. Both of their faces lite up and they kept repeating thank you. They urgently ran back to our table and ripped the paper off of the gifts. David got a Star Wars action figure and Gmeralda got a purse making craft kit. As they were in awe looking…

Peacefulness sauntered throughout the house. I woke up thinking I would race down the stairs to discover my brightly lit, ten-foot cedar tree, with an array of presents and stockings; nonetheless, I took the short walk from my makeshift bed to the living room to find that tiny, tattered Christmas tree.

Their Christmases often took place in their little village homes. None of my parents owned a Christmas tree growing up, Santa just placed the gifts in a plastic bag in the corner of the room. Santa would come two nights in a row, one on Christmas eve, and one on Christmas day. The entire family would get together and eat food, dance, laugh and drink…

Valentine’s Day Most people think of Valentine’s Day as a romantic holiday filled with delicate heart-shaped chocolates and dozens of red roses. As for me, I do not think of such things. Hospitals and sadness comes into my mind when February 14th approaches every year. Every winter I participate in an annual swim meet held in Rochester, Minnesota, this year it happened to fall on the weekend of Valentine’s Day.
