characters: Rosa, (the mother) , Stella, and Magda
In this story the one thing that is keeping this family of three alive is this shawl. this story is about a woman and her child and her niece trying to survive in the holocaust. the shawl that the mother has brought seems to be "magic" because it is the only thing that is keeping the baby alive. they have no food, so its a miracle that the baby is living off of the shawl. the shawl not only seems to feed to Magda, but it also calms her and hides her from the Nazis. This allows her to stay alive, because if the Nazis found her she would've been killed immediately. stella takes the shawl because she is cold, and the baby starts crying. magna runs outside and before rosa can get to her, magna is shot and killed.....

the fly
characters: the boss, my woodifield, the bosses dead son, reggie, the two daughters, macey, the assistant, the fly
it all starts when Mr. woodifield goes and visits the boss on a tuesday. they sit down,have a decent chat, and have some whiskey. everything was pleasant until mr.woodifield mentions that sighting of the bosses sons grave. the boy died six years ago in the war and the boss cant get over it. as soon as the old man leaves he sits down and wants to weep but he cant because its been so long that he cant cry like he used too. he gets distracted by a fly that gets trapped in the ink well. he takes it out and observes it. as soon as the fly is able to move freely again, the boss spills a huge amount of ink on the fly making it drowned. the boss does this repeated ly until the fly dies. after that the boss can not remember what he was thinking about. it had totally left his memory.
the theme behind this might mean that the boss is the war while the fly is his son that could not overcome it. the son and the fly both die in the end.
