Comparing: 2

"A Second Time" reminded me of Camille's story. I mostly saw the contrast of staying and leaving between the two. In Camille's, she wants her dad to come back, to show up. In Galvin's story, it seems the person he's referring to does come back, but can't seem to stay. The line I enjoyed the most in Galvin's story was, "Spring was a fallacy that brought you back, but nothing in the world could hold you." I feel that this line makes it and Camille's story worth comparing, if she were to delve a little deeper. In the end, it seems that both Galvin and Camille's stories have come to the conclusions that this is the normal pattern. Seasons change, students come back to school and they both had to come to sad terms that only these patterns could be counted on, not people.
