My Crush Compared to Checkouts

Once, I had a crush that was sort of like the crush in the story "Checkouts."  I liked a girl, but I wasn't sure if she liked me back.  I would aways see her walking in the hallways at school, and I had a few classes with her.  We never really talked, and I didnt like that.  One day I started to talk to her, and it turned out that she had a crush on me too.  I was so happy to find out that she felt the same way.  This is sort of like the people in checkouts because they never really talked to eachother.  They both liked eachother just like me and this girl did.  The only thing that is different is that we told eachother that we liked eachother.  Thats how a crush in my life compares to the crush in the story "Checkouts."

The Birds

First, ill start off with the L.A. riots of 1992.  This is like an event in the story.  The event it is like is when they are hiding in their houses to hide from the birds so they dont kill them.  When the riots were going on, people were hiding inside of their homes, so they wouldnt get attacked by the people rioting.  That is how the riots relate to the story the birds.

The 70's energy crisis is a little like an event in the story also.  In the story when they started running out of things that they needed, they needed to find them.  So since they couldnt really find anything else, they had to start using smaller amounts of everything.  Well in the 70's when the energy crisis occurred, people could only get gas on a certain day, since they got it on a certain day, they had to be careful not to use it all or theyd have to wait a week for their day again.  Thats how that relates to the story a little bit.

The final thing that I'll relate to the story is Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.  This is sort of like an event in the story also.  In the time period of Marting Luther King Jr., the black people were mistreated and neglected, so they stood up for themselves.  Well, i think that the birds feel like they are being neglected, so they are standing up for themselves.  Theyre standing up for themselves by attacking the people.  I think that is how Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. relates to the story "The Birds."
