Catch The Moon and The Bass, The River, And Sheila Mant

Both "Catch The Moon" and "The Bass, The River, And Sheila Mant" have very similar characters. Luis in "Catch The Moon" and the narrator in the "The Bass, The River, And Sheila Mant" are growing up and learning about feelings they have for other people. Luis is a trouble maker and is finding his way and where he belongs in life after the passing of his mother. While the narrator is learning a life lesson. By losing the fish and the girl he likes he learns not to make the same mistake twice. The theme is that the boys are “Coming of Age”. Another theme could also be that anyone can make a mistake but those he learn from it can move on to better themselves in life. In “Catch The Moon” a symbol is the hub cap reflecting the moon. Another symbol would be the tree Luis climbed to get away from all those during his mothers funeral because he felt secure and safe as he would with his mother. And in “The Bass”, the fish is the symbol of someone he likes getting away. In “Catch The Moon” Luis faces conflicts with the law, his father, and with people he cares about. The narrator face conflicts with girls, growing up, and losing the bass. I should explain that these stories are very relevant to things that happen to kids are age. These stories are both telling us the same thing in different ways. Boom 250 words dead even.
