Dancer

This story I will talk about this lonely girl, how she has a way of expressing her feelings into positive way, the meaning aging at young age, and narrator’s tone of this story.

This girl was obviously from somewhere where it was not pretty, for some reason, I felt like she was abused before that cause her to isolate herself from people. She was a loner, she wouldn’t talk at some period of time, and she has way of showing her anger. The positive way of expressing her feelings was to dance, that help her feel ease with her anger.

The meaning of aging but at the same age, like for example, a 12 years old act like 18 years old, base on his/her experience growing up. Many children act older than their age because they were abuses, they had to worry about their safety and about their other sibling or else. A child should never worry about that at such a young age. I can relate a little in this story because my sister was only 7 years old when she act like a 20 years old, she was taking care of me when I was 4 years old. We had to worry about the demon (men), find a way to run away from violence, get money together to buy food, a place to stay and such.

Narrator is a mother of adopted child, her tone in this story seems not too positive, like she doesn’t care, that sound too strong. More like she expect this kind of thing. Like for example, a adopted little girl killed a cat, the mother reacted different like she’s not really desapline her to tell her its wrong to do that, I would have reacted different and tell them what was wrong and tell them its not okay. Later in the story, the natorator's tone seems to change afterward, I can tell she started to lose up and seems so proud for what she was doing. She can tell that little girl has grown up as her eyes started to sparkles, that was the moment when she was finally free from her past.

My thoughts about this story is quite interesting, there is many ways that kids who is angry about their past, family, and/or friends. It makes me sad knowing that other people who’s angry kills people, leave school, not being successful, or end up in jail. That kind of behavior is not an answer.
