            Hi, my name is Benjamen Clayton Adkins. Just call me Ben. I currently am unsure as to what my major is going to be. I am leaning more to the business side of thing though. I graduated from Pleasant High in June 2016. I am 19 years old. I have a twin sister and a younger brother. I have lived in Marion, OH for my entire life. My favorite animal are pigs. I apologize for the picture below, I hate taking pictures. That was the first "selfie" I have ever taken and it is most definitely going to be the last.

            In The House on Mango Street, it stood out to me that they moved a whole ton. This meaning that it probably took a lot on our author. I noticed toward the end that she mentioned she will find a friend one day and until then she will be a balloon tied to an anchor. That makes you think that she is lonely and that the constant moving took its toll on her.

  1. I completely agree with this. Throughout the first few chapter the author was always talking about how her family was always moving and how all she wanted was a house to call theres. I feel that she really doesn't know what its like to have a close friend because her and her family have always moved around. I think she wants for once in here life to have a close friend and actually feel what its like to be a normal kid.

  3. Studying something in the business field is not a bad way to go! I am also studying in business, specifically accounting.

  4. Pigs are literally the cutest things ever besides Pugs. I almost chose a business major but I then decided to put myself through several extra years of medical school. I have moved around my whole life and up until the 6th grade I never had a true best friend.
