Mule Feathers [E] Grandma and Charlie share a memory of Grandma and Bill the Mule -3rd place Words w/ Wings |
Plot/story elements: Did I feel attached to the story or poem? Stories of farm life are great tools to keep us tied to an innocent time. The beginning of the story where the child is cuddled on the grandma's lap is a vivid and relatable image. Would I recommend this piece of writing to someone else? It's a great children's piece any caregiver can share with their child. It has such a great message of silly innocence. I think we can all get caught up in mule feathers if we're not careful. Was there a clear purpose to it? It was an innocent story depicting and innocent time. I bet Bill sure was surprised! I wonder what the meal was. The table spread sounded delicious! Glows: It was written well and easy to follow. The ending was creative and the dialog definitely kept the pace quick and easy to stay engaged with. Grows: None. Miscellaneous Comments: I pictured a character from a Norman Rockwell painting coming to life to tell this story. It reminds me of a story that would be from early American life when people appreciated their rural roots, a depiction of a simpler time. On a side note, I love how Grandma patiently handled the child's interruption. Charlie is lucky to have her around! ** Images For Use By Upgraded+ Only ** ~Tsa~ House of Greyjoy My review has been submitted for consideration in "Good Deeds Get CASH!" .
