The Afterlife

by:Gary Soto

p.g. 16-22

So far in my book "The Afterlife" Chuy has been brutally murdered by a another student from his school in the bathroom at a dance. So now Chuy is in the afterlife and I can infer he wants to go back in his regular life. For example, he cant touch anything. He cant talk to anyone. And no one can see him. He is literally dead to everyone. I can infer he cant have no contact with anything because after he died he tried to get some food and he couldn't touch it, so far Chuy is having the most worst time of his ''afterlife''.

Question: How does the information in the box "A Day in the Life (of me!) help the reader understand the article?

The way the information in the box "A Day in the Life (of me!) helps the reader understand the article is by to show the reader that Ashirah has a hard working time where she lives. For example, she wakes up at 6:30 and she goes to sleep at 9:30 or 10:30. Mostly 75% of that day is hard labor.

The Afterlife

by:Gary Soto

 My character Chuy I think so far had the worst day of his life. His worst day was the day he died. Now in my book he is dead right now but he is alive in the afterlife. So now I can infer he is going to haunt the boy who killed him because no one can see, hear, or talk to him because he is dead. So he cant get caught. I loved how the author use so much detail while Chuy was dying. For example, "My legs buckled as I turned and straightened when he stuck me in the lower back." (p.g3) 

 

I think the person that killed Chuy will be very careful of where he goes because he might soon find out that Chuy is haunting him, and he might think twice before killing someone.
