Ribbons

The story Ribbons written by Laurence Yep relates to life because this story could really happen in life. For example a lot of people have grandparents that spoiled their grandchildren. If you were in that position like Stacy was in, you would want everything to be fair. That doesn’t always happen though. Stacy is just a normal girl but she doesn’t get everything that she wants. Unlike her brother Ien is the complete opposite and gets everything he what he wants by his grandparents.
It would compare to the T.V show George Lopez because George never got spoiled in his life, but his wife Angie did. George would always get treated badly when he was growing up by his mom, Benny. Angie on the other hand gets treated well by Georges mom. George doesn’t get it. He was never a bad. George’s mom, Benny didn’t like George at all. She would abuse him when he was a child. She also made fun of him because he had a big head. Angie would get all the credit for everything, and George would hate it because he didn’t think it was fair. George is kind of like the girl in Ribbons Stacy because they both don’t get spoiled. Angie is like the brother in Ribbons Ien because they both get spoiled.
This story relates to my life because when ever I go to my aunts house my aunt will always spoil my sister more than me just because she is the oldest. For example I was spending the night at my aunts house and same with my older sister. My older sister wanted to go to the mall and I didn’t want to go because I was tried my aunt says I don’t thinks it fair to be treated worst than others. I think that everyone should be treated the same.
This is a realistic story because it relates to life. It would compare this story to George Lopez. I Learned that life isn’t fair even though you want it to be as Stacy learned in this story. People will not always be treated equally, and there is nothing that you can do to fix this problem.
