"The Bass, the River, and Sheila Mant" and "Catch the Moon" Theme Comparison Essay

“I never made the same mistake again.” Luis had been watching the most beautiful girl he had ever seen. In both stories the young teenage boys liked a girl that they barley knew. In the story’s “The Bas, the “River and Sheila Mant” and “Catch the Moon” had something in common which was falling in love with a girl.

The main character in the story was Sheila Mant. Sheila Mant is a girl with long red wavy hair. When she put on that white dress she looked like an angel. She goes to the same school as he does but does not notice him. The main conflict in the story was when he had to choose between the girl and the bass fish. He chose the girl and cut the string to let the fish go. Letting the fish go haunted him all summer. He also said that there will always be more Sheila Mant’s on the world. He promised himself that he will never make the same mistake again.

The main character in the story is Luis. Luis is a young trouble maker that was sent to Juvenal Hall for trespassing an entering a old women's home. He is working at his uncle's junk yard for community service. The main conflict was when his mother died of being ill and didn’t know how to grieve his pain. The way he grieved was when he met a girl and she helped him keep his mind off his mind off his mother. He changed by becoming happier and helping others like helping her find a hubcap for her car. The theme was when he found the hubcap and gave it to her at her house.

My main point of the two story was that both characters liked a girl and had to find a way to build enough courage to speak to a girl to ask them out on a date. The main idea to me was that they both got to have that date and at least talk to the girls. One guy was able to have a friendship with one girl and the other guy had lost the girl because she left him for a guy with a car not a canoe. My final thought was even if they didn’t get the girl, there are always other fish in the sea.
