The DragonSummaryThe short story "The Dragon" by Cynthia Forder is about two childhood friends, Kay and Bob, who argue because of their different habits. The argument starts on a porch, where Kay sits on a swing and Bob rocks it too hard, annoying Kay. Kay sometimes has negative thoughts about Bob and feels forced to hang around with him because their mothers are friends. Bob tries to make conversation with Kay, but it leads to an argument where Bob admits that he is not better than Kay. Characterization and Point of ViewKay is known as the egoistic person because of comparing himself with Bob. The forced friendship makes the relationship between them strained. Kay is someone who is impressed by the view of the city, but it seems like he doesn't share the same interests with Bob. It is pretty clear that Kay hates Bob because of the negative thoughts he has about him. In contrast, Bob has specific dreams: he wants to be transferred to a law school. But Kay thinks otherwise and mentions it as "tough" for Bob's capacity. The story is written in the first person point of view, which makes the feelings of only one person, Kay, more vivid and clear than it is for Bob. Not only Kay's feelings but also his thoughts are visions for the reader. Letter WritingImagine you are Kay and have decided to write a letter to Bob. Write this letter.Dear Bob,I hope this letter finds you well. I wanted to take a moment to apologize for the way I acted the other night. I know I can be difficult to be around sometimes, and I'm sorry if I made you feel unappreciated. I want you to know that I don't hate you. I may not always understand you, but that doesn't mean I don't value our friendship. I know we have our differences, but I think that's what makes our friendship unique. I also wanted to say that I admire your ambition to become a lawyer. It takes a lot of hard work and dedication, and I have no doubt that you will achieve your goals. I hope we can put our argument behind us and continue to be friends. I value your friendship and look forward to spending time with you again soon.Sincerely,Kay
