Questions
- What is the relation you find between the title and the text?
- Have you ever been in that boy's situation or attitude?
- What is your impression of Sheryl? In your mind, what does she think of her brother?
- What do you think the end means? Why did the boy walk faster?
Two Girls
I believe we can find a parallel between this ill girl, this story's protagonist sister and the glamorous blonde we are introduced to in ¨A beautiful child¨. As we see they both are something they don't seem to be at the beginning: With Sheryl, I first thought of her as just an awkward, sick little girl who was on the way of his brother all the time; with Marilyn, I got the first impression of a strong, confident, amusing woman who had it all and felt pretty sure about who she was.
As both stories go on, they reveal themselves as something different: Marilyn, as this softened, insure, complex girl who just wanted to be loved and happy, and Sheryl, as a lovely little child that was a whole world inside of her and helps his brother discover some of his own worlds too as they interact.
They end up being something similar the two of them. They end up as brilliant, misunderstood, fragile, beautiful and complex creatures that, as they find themselves, enlighten the world that surrounds them.
