After reading a few of the articles that were posted online for us, "Little Boy Pink," caught my eye. The article is about a loving mother who acknowledged the fact that her son is more on the feminine side and she is absolutely not concerned about it. Young children such as Declan, the little boy in the article, are at the stage where they are learning about themselves. So dressing up in princess costumes and hanging out in the kitchen with his mother is considered fun for him. So if he's happy with that then why not? i just thought it was an interesting read and it reminded myself a lot of this little boy i used to watch for.
The author uses certain strategies to prove her argument. She's not at all worried for her young son to be a little more girly then than the average boy. She uses strategies such as quotes and parentheses throughout her article to give us, the reader, a more descriptive narrative.

Thao,
ReplyDeleteYou do a good job describing the article. You do need to expand in terms of strategies: you write, "She uses strategies such as quotes and parentheses throughout her article to give us, the reader, a more descriptive narrative", but without any examples it's not clear why/how quotes and parentheses make it more descriptive.
