in the short story the slip-over sweater by jesse stuart, the main character and narrator shan is friends with grace, an intelligent girl he has known since childhood and with whom he used to be in love.

at the beginning of the story, shan believes he’s no longer in love with grace, but loves jo-anne instead. in order to buy a slip-over sweater and have jo-anne wear it so that the other students would know she loved him too, shan takes a loan at the bank.

while jo-anne is wearing shan’s sweater, his friend grace starts to wear another popular boy’s one, roy’s sweater. because of that, the other students begin to pay attention to grace and compliment her perseverance and effort. they admire her for walking 5 miles to school every day, despite the weather, and still getting the best grades. shan, who knows all of that for a fact, says, as the narrator, ‘and i knew she had the durability and the toughness of a storm-battered mountain oak.’ he compares his friend’s strength – not only physical, but also of character – to an oak tree, whose wood is known for being sturdy.

as the story goes on, shan changes his behavior out of concern for the debt he has to pay at the bank. his new girlfriend jo-anne never asks him what is wrong nor offers any sort of . instead, she breaks up with shan for not being as fun as she thought he was supposed to be. grace, however, not only asks about shan’s problem, but him make the money he needs. shan can’t but notice how different the girls are and what a wonderful person grace is.   even though he used to find jo-anne prettier at the beginning of the story, he now says, ‘grace was as beautiful as our mountain was in april, prettier than a blossom of wild phlox or a mountain daisy.’ his comparing grace to a mountain or something that exists on a mountain (such as a mountain oak or daisy) certainly has important meaning since shan loves the mountain and everything about it and he knows the mountain thoroughly. shan also loves and knows grace as completely as he does the mountain.

circle of life

today people might say life is like a movie. good or evil might be evil. babies come to the world connect with their inner self, their need, the body language of the people around them that's the ways the lear to live. but as years go through feelings, sensations, needs are left behind and now is the time of technology, to each other is old-fashioned, looking into somebodies eyes, get a real connection, writing down memories a dairy.

we need to back to real connections, caring about people around you and spending quality time with them. we need to find back the way to connect with ourselfs, let out our emotions, sensations, our real tastes without caring about what other might think/say about,but especially without judging others way of living, feeling and loving.  

as we grow we lose our ties with our real selves, and we get too much involved with media, work, politics. we become so much troubled that our energy vanishes away and we only have the disposition to sit in front of the tv on turn off ourselves.   that's unbearable, we need to find out the way not to lose ourselves on the road to adulthood. but especially we have to find a way to keep children on the track. it would be easier for them when they grow ´s a lot of people on that track you just need to keep your eyes wide open and you´ll see it.
