“Broken Chain,” Thinking Critically

The quickwrite's idea and the feeling of Alfonso's are pretty much the same. It has talked about he doesn't like what he looks now and he wants to change and he wants to be tough. Also, the quickwrite has mentioned about the hairstye, the teeth, his smile, and so do the book. But I think Alfonso's feelings are more detailed  than the quickwrite. In the quickwrite, it didn't put so much informations. The quickwrite is just like an overview of what Alfonso's problems and his solutions for his problems. Alfonso actually feels more than the information that. For example: hair style. In the quickwrite, it only says that Alfonso start studing hair style, he wants to make his hair look cool, but he thinks that his mom won't go for it. Alfonso's actual feeling is more than that. Alfonso liked the way Prince looked-and the bass player from Los Lobos. Alfonso thought he would look cool with his hair razored into a V in the back and streaked purple. But he knew that he mom won't go for it. And his father would sit in his chair after work, sullen as a toad, and call him sissy. That is Alfonso's whole feeling. So we can see that Alfonso's feelings are much more detailed than the quickwrite. Alfonso's feeling and behavior seem pretty realistic for me, because it makes many realistic examples and it can really happen.
