Dear Spiro Anthanas,
My  name is Marie Harris and I have read the story " A Bag of Oranges" and I though it has a good relationship to the reader. I think so because every child and teenager have their first experience with their parents that doesn't turn out so well.

My experience is similar to your story " A Bag of Oranges". One day my mother and I were going downstairs to the basement to finish packing up so we can move. So we collected a whole bunch of new-old things we never used and wore. So she told me I can have whatever was down there. I took a couple of things I wanted of course. So when we were through, we went back upstairs to look through what we both grabbed. I saw what I had and decided to wash them before I wear them. My mom told me to wait until we moved tot he new house to wear them, and I told her "NO". So we ended up getting into an argument that was petty and unnecessary to get mad for. But we got so out of control with the argument, I ended up telling her that I hated her and I wish she wasn't my mother. I understand that hurted her very badly, but I was calm down enough to go and apologize to her.

My story is similar to your story by knowing that both me and Niko's had a terrible mad feeling at our parents. The theme in the story is that no matter what you go through with your parents, always watch what you say and love them because anything can be worse than what it is already.
