I don’t feel sympathetic towards Wormwood for three reasons Wormwood is a unredeemable demon, his corrupt goal, and his twisted beliefs. While sometimes you can feel sympathetic towards others, who do terrible things, I believe this is because they may still be redeemable, however, Wormwood is a fallen angel and is not redeemable. Wormwood is a demon, who already decided not to obey and follow God. Instead he rejects God and hates everything he is, especially his love of humanity.

It’s often given the description of homely. People want to bestow upon you a feeling that on your first visit, you’ll fall in love (Trust me, you won’t). There are many roads leading into the small town of Middleville. Some twisting by the river, others curving around the valley. Some stretching for miles over the never-ending farmland. And that’s all the area is. Farmland, interrupted by a school and a village that is barely big enough to see on a map.
Common buckthorn is originally from Europe. It was introduced to Minnesota in the mid-1800s as an ornament plant.

Empathy is having the ability to understand the feelings of others often through connecting our own experiences to those around us. “Wildwood” by Junot Diaz follows the journey of the main character, Lola. Lola is a rebellious teenager living with her mother and younger brother in New Jersey. Lola's mother who is battling breast cancer, must deal with Lola and her defiant ways. Lola’s mother sends her away to live in the Dominican Republic to learn how to be a mature young woman. Every kid can relate to wanting to go against their parents rules and Lola is no different. The reader can relate to Lola through her common experiences that many deal with. Diaz uses first person to allow the reader to experience the perspective of Lola through her narration. He makes it easy to relate to as the story follows something that everyone has been through, growing up. Rebellion is a natural characteristic of maturation, although difficult for the parents it allows children to learn from their mistakes. Junot Diaz’s short story, “Wildwood” uses teenage rebellion and common feelings, to challenge stereotypes which allows the reader to easily sympathize with the story.
Now when I say tiny town I mean it. The population is about 1,400 people with one gas station, one grocery store, and 2 restaurants with some gift shops. The first time I saw Grand Marais we drove into town and in a blink of an eye it was gone. I’ve never seen anything like this other than in movies. We finally got to her cabin, and it was one of three houses on that entire road which at first seemed horrific. But something I’ll never forget is how bright the stars were. We stood outside and saw every star in that sky, since there wasn’t many neighbors with their lights on, or highways with a cluster of traffic. The first morning I was ther, Brooklyn started to show me some amazing spots such as Hurricane river, Tahquamenon Falls, Marquette Harbor, and so much more. I got to experience a place that most people don't even realize is on the map. When the vacation was finally over I asked my friends back at home what they did. Which you can probably guess was them glued to their phones and laptops all summer. I had an amazing summer that I’ll always remember, and I'm glad it didn't involve
