A dress with pain

The story “Plaits” by Frankie Lennon was very interesting and it caught my attention. The part that I remember the most was where the author was in her room in the dark and she just got the scissors and started to cut her hair off because she wanted curls and instead she would get breads, and she got teased for having her breads. I thought that was hysterical, I imagined her with her patches on her head and I also imagined her with her patched hair in the Play. This story also reminded me of a story of myself.
The “Plaits” story reminded me of myself in one way, when I was about nine years old I hated wearing dresses and for Christmas my mom had just bought me a dress and I did not want to wear it because that meant that I had to stay inside and look pert and I was not allowed to play outside with my guy cousins because I was going to get dirty or I was going to fall and hurt myself. I was mad because I was not able to have fun outside. My guy cousins had never seen me in a dress and as soon as they saw the dress they started to tease me for wearing the dress and I chased them up and down the house as soon as they went outside they told me I was not allowed to play outside and I left outside and purposely caught the dress on a tree so it would rip and I would have to change in to some pants.
The “Plaits” made me realize that I was not the only one that acted rebellious when they were made fun of. I feel that people could tease others to be funny and cause humor for others, but they don’t realize that they also cause harm to the one that is being the jock of the moment. People could be very hurtful without even realizing it.
