Paper Summary:

This paper titled "A New Kind of Blues..." is a creative short story written in the first person perspective. The paper tells the story of a friend's relationship with alcohol, and how the drinking affected his life and death.

From the Paper:

"I knew Matt since we were both in kindergarten. We lived close by to one another. The condo development my mom and I lived in was near his house. So we'd ride our bikes to school. Matt was always the faster one, on his shiny silver dirt bike. He was the fastest on the school playground, ahead of everyone whenever we played soccer. When he kicked a kickball, it would make an arc in the sky and sail above, more like a meteor than something in a child's game.
I liked to go home with Matt after school and sit at his kitchen counter and talk to his mother. After swimming in his pool (it was heated well into October) or playing on his wooden swing set that was made of unfinished wood (not plastic like mine) Matt, his mom, and I would play Candy Land, or as both of us got older, Life, Risk, Clue, and Scrabble. Matt's mother didn't work like my mom. My mom would come home tired, with swollen feet from stocking shelves in Macy's all day and say, "why did you forget to put the pot roast in the crock pot like I told you to, it's Kraft macaroni and cheese again!"
