I can relate to when Richard gives up on life. There are times that one tries real hard, but see no results. There are examples of these situation in my lifetime, but I rather not post them. I don't agree with these mood, despite once being in them. I really don't like people who act like everything is over and that there is no point to life. Sometimes you just have to accept what happend or continue to push through it.

Towards the middle of the story RIchard tells a lady of his dream of being a writer. She basically brings him down and says that he wont be able to do it. I believe that everyone can relate to this. The question is how do you take it. Personally I take it as fuel to prove them wrong. Some people accept their comments and prove them right. If I attempt to prove them wrong and don't succeed, I at least know that i tried and that is what matters.

I can somewhat relate to what Richard felt when he was moving from place to place. I used to go to Saint Mary's for two years. I didn't really get out much with other people. The only people I really knew were the people from Saint Mary's. I was a bit nervous when I went to Abe Hubert. I didn't know anyone there. I quickly made friends and I still have most of them today. Many times one just has to have a change.

This one is my favorite of the things I can relate to. Richard achieves his goal at the end of the story. He went through many roadblocks, but found a way to get to his objective. I currently am working towards a goal. By seeing Richard achieve his goal, despite all he had to go through, really gave me a lot of passion for what I want to do.
