"A Chase" and "Salvation"

“A chase” is an essay written by Annie Dillard in which two boys enjoy playing in their neighborhood. “Salvation”, is an essay written by Langston Hughes in which he tells his own experience about god. After reading both histories “A Chase “and “salvation”, we realize how the authors remain in their lives those moments in which they were under pressure especially in their childhood. Unfortunately, both histories dislike in how happy or sad their finales are. In “A Chase” the history is funny because the kids enjoy throwing ice balls to the cars. The problem is that they never imagined themselves needing to run so far ahead of the driver, but it is also humorous. At the end of the race the man said “You stupid kids” and enjoyed catching them. In “Salvation” the author grew up dreaming about the day when he would meet God. Once in the church he was excited waiting for his moment with God, but it never happened. His moral support was Westley until he decided to run to the platform. Then, the author under pressure lied to the crowd and said Jesus had come. It was painful for him because he lied to his aunt and changed his paradigm about God. Both histories had an important effect in the author’s life. In conclusion, maybe the most important thing that Annie Dillard learned was to face problems instead of running away from them, and Langston Hughes learned to be true his belief although he paid the price of being isolated.
