''First Confession'' by: Frank O' Connor

In this short Irish story a boy named Jackie, is about to confess but neither the boy nor the priest, know what to expect from one another. Since it's Jackie's first time, he goes to the temple really nervous. Even with guilt due to the fact, his little sister has been telling him all the bad stuff, he has done to her and their grandma. So Jackie tells the priest, all the bad stuff he has done but, in a exaggerated way. But at the end the priest knows that his just exaggerating since it's his first time.






I go to a Catholic church and we do confess there. But not in the strange, buzzard way they did in the story. The church I attend is like any other Catholic church. We attend mass, read the bible, and pray to the lord so amen.
