The Pie Summary
In The Pie by Gary Soto, this story was narrated in first person on something that he did. He started the story of by saying "I knew enough about hell to stop me from stealing", to me he is probably tempted or does steal something later on in the story which he does. He started talking about sin and holy so it tells the reader he is religious. Gary Soto went to the German Market and looked over all the pies. he found the apple pie delicious and took it he ran and sat in a persons lawn. He was startled by the neighbor. He ran and took a small bite of the pie. He rant o his block and when he got there he leaned against a car and felt guilty for stealing the pie. He said "I knew an apple got Eve in deep trouble with the snakes". He Gary Soto felt guilty for what he did and felt even more guilty for not sharing with Cross-eyes Johnny. He then went home an helped his sister glue bottle caps to a cardboard for her school project because "it bored him". he then realized "Sin was what you take and didn't give back".
