Thumb sucking girl
This is my thoughts on the Thumb Sucking Girl Homework. I felt this brief essay was very effective with all the details the author wrote. It was extremely descriptive but not overpowering. It sounds like the child knew better because of a certain sentence that talks about the child not sucking her thumb for a month to show she could. My children never sucked their thumbs so it is hard to imagine, before reading this essay, how it is a comforting thing to kids. Seems difficult to write this way....I thought it was beautifully written.

Not only it was well written but very descriptive. To me this thumb sucking girl was very anti social because of her appearance of poorly hygiene and social life. Therefore she relied on her thumb to comfort her since she didnt have any friends from what it sounds like (my observation).
ReplyDeleteI agree, it was very effective and the author knew just what to write to capture the reader.
ReplyDeleteThe author did a good job making it come frome the childs point of view but i do agree with tiffany its very descriptive but not overpowering.
