Comparative essay

            Some of the characters studied in class have a very physical view of reality; others not so physical.  When I mentioned physical, I mean to Lencho in a “Letter to God” by Gregorio Lopez yFuentes and the narrator of “Success Story” by James Gould Gozzens, whose have a very physical understanding of life, believing in ability and material things.
