Ribbons

Imagine having your Grandma from Hong Kong coming to America to live with you. That what happens to Stacy in the story, Ribbons.
It was very hard to identify the mode of literature, but it is a comedy. At first I thought it was a romance because it had a life affirming symbol at the end it but then I realized it wasn’t because it wasn’t a perfect world. But it had a the requirements for a comedy. I know it’s a comedy because first of all it started out with normalcy, the conflict arises when her Stacy’s grandma won’t let her put on the ballet shoes, the resolution is the grandma realizes that the shoes are for dancing and it’s a return to normalcy.
It seemed like her grandma was being mean because she was not letting Stacy dance. But in the end her grandma really wasn’t mean. She was just trying to protect Stacy because she didn’t know what the shoes were for. Her grandma thought the shoes would make here feet all crooked like her parents did to her.
This story reminds me of every-day life because there is a lot of misunderstanding things that people think is bad but are actually good. It also relates to every-day life because there is a lot of people’s relatives moving to America from different countries
