Critical Paper #4

Centipede by Rony V. Diaz

The story centipede by Rony V. Diaz shows violence towards man and animals. It is

not appropriate for children and adults who are or have a close mind.

Hate, the reason why people did bad things, the reason why people destroy things

that matters to someone. Just like what happens in the story, the Centipede. Delia

the sister of Eddie,is a very mean girl. She used his illness as an excuse to keep on

destroying things that matters to her brother Eddie.

We all know that Eddie did wrong things also to his sister Delia, but is that rational

for Delia to revenge that bad. She must learn how to forgive, because after all they

are brother and sister and she is the oldest. She must learn how to understand and

unfold the love that keeps by hate.

For me, Delia's illness is not an excuse, her father must discipline her because what

she's doing is too much or I suggest separating that two siblings. If Delia didn't

control how bad she feels towards her brother, she must keep herself away from his

brother, instead of dying from it.

I have also a negative reactions towards Eddie by killing the centipede, didn't he

knows that life is precious. He must take that centipede free instead of killing it. It

seems like Eddie hasn't have any difference between her sister Delia for killing the

Centipede.
