"Salvation and A Chase"

This two story was very interesting because it has to deal with children learning lessons in their lives. In the story "The Chase" by Annie Dillards, the author refers to action that humans normally make without seeing the consequences. For example, in the story the kids was having fun making an iceball, like normal kids they threw it to a man , as a result, the man started running after them. The lesson that is learned in the story "Salvation" by Langston Hughes is that you always should say the truth even if it hurts somebody. In the story, Langston decided to lie by saying he saw Jesus. It was just to make others happy and at the end he felt guilty. At the end they learn from their mistakes and that is better to tell the truth.
