How I relate to Michael in “Homework” is that when something is bothering me I don’t normally tell anyone. For instance when his dad asked him what’s wrong on he told him nothing. (20) Or when his guidance counselor asked him, and he told her nothing was wrong as well. (22) I just find it easier to deal with things on my own then to tell someone and get a bunch of confusing advice. I can also relate to him because he likes to do math. I found math to be a fairly easy subject for me, including algebra. I used to have my mother make up problems for me so I could do them. He however makes up his own in the story. (20)

How I relate to Rachel in “Eleven” is that I don’t see my birthday as any special day either. It’s just another day and it feels no different; like she explained it in the story. (18) Also how she doesn’t like talking in class. (18-19) I absolutely hate talking in class. I don’t like being put on the spot. If I know what I’m talking about I will gladly share, but if I have the slightest hint of doubt I won’t. I’m very precautious.
