The Pie
Today in class we read an excerpt called The Pie by Gary Soto. What this excerpt was about a boy who was six and stole pie. The excerpt did have a powerful meaning. The six year old boy, at points in the story did feel guilt. He also stated in paragraph two;“But boredom made me sin.” This made me have a question. Did he not go to school or have a family? If the child did have a education why did he steal? Soto put a lot of personification in the story.
