1. The title of this story is called, "I believe that Rabbits Grow From Dandelions." The first paragraph of the story was quite depressing. I love animals, and rabbits are one of my favorites. The first paragraph explained how the owner was holding the Flemish Giant rabbit in her arms as it barely breathes. The next paragraphs talk about how her dog and cat had a feeling that their friend rabbit wasn't doing well. By the end of the story, the rabbit dies, and the owner sprinkles its ashes over the dandelions. While they're sprinkling the ashes, they see a couple rabbits poke their heads up from the ground, and that makes the owner feel more secure that her rabbit is in a better place.

2. The story is called, "Forgiving my Dad." The title is pretty self-explanatory. This man had hard feelings for his dad his whole life, and finally managed to forgive him once he had a son of his own. He realized that forgiveness was the best thing to do, in order for him to have a healthy and better relationship with his own son. I understand where he's coming from, not wanting to forgive his dad for all the wrong he has done. But by being the bigger person, and forgiving him, it leaves him with a better feeling for the future. I think this story is eye opening for anyone who has held a long grudge against someone close to them.

3. The third story I read is called "Spring." I felt this story was a little ongoing and some parts were irrelevant to the point of the story. It was basically how this lady had a husband who has a drinking problem, and he finally recognized his problem. She was proud of him for taking care of his wrong-doings, and getting held. Later in the story, she starts talking about the weather and how it speaks to her- Which I find weird and not related to the story in anyway. The story was mediocre. I didn't find it to be inspiring at all.

4. The last story that I read is called "Puppy Love." The author explains how in a weird way, she wants to be like her dog. She describes her dog to be outgoing, fun, care free, and lively. She wishes that she wouldn't take everything so seriously, and just enjoy life. She agrees that dogs are a man's best friend. She says that her dog has opened to eyes to a new life. She wants to be opened with all kinds of love in all aspect of life. She believes that her dog is the best role model for her to accomplish this happiness.
