Homework1

When we were in high school, classmates like to give other students ignominiously dubbed. This happened on him too.
He was really short when he was in high school, because his height, a contingent of students named him “Midgets”. It hurt this young boy’s feeling, this made him retreated into self-pity, started to absence of a social life and so on. Before those students gave his dubbed name, he had a normal life. He had lived in pain and uncomfortable life since then.
Until few years later, he grown up became really tall. He started to have confident and get back his life again. However, deep down in his heart, he still have the feeling that his is the “Midget”, he still feel shrink and scared. He cared about what people said about his highs, he feels like he still in adolescent hierarchies.
In my point of view, I think it was not easy for everyone to face or lived in those kind of environment. Nobody wants to be taunt or scorn. I don’t think I feel the same way as him. I think he shouldn't care about what did people say or call him. He should live his life and become stronger to protect himself. Be scared won’t help you, stand up and be brave to tell them how to respect people instead of scorn them.

  1. You have some good thoughts in your final paragraph, but it is not necessary to summarize the essay as part of your reader response (we did this in class!) Next time, provide a more thorough response with more reasons for it. Only summarize if it is part of the assignment.
