"RUNNING"

Another one of the narratives that we had to read was titled Running and was written by Ron Rodriguez from Roosevelt High School. The story begins with the author describing how running influences and impacts his life. We see it is such an important part of his life that it is nearly all he thinks about. In fact, as the author is telling his story he falls asleep and dreams about running through Los Angeles. The author continually awakens and falls back asleep during the story and we are able to see Los Angeles through his eyes. The author uses effective imagry and descriptions which draw in the reader and make his story interesting to read. He turns the story into his own personal myth and we can see that his life is saturated with running and it is all he thinks about. This is evident because every time he falls asleep, running is what is on his mind.
