Short sentences assignment (Wednesday)
Original Paragraphs:
There are many special stories. “The horse boy” really wins in this category. The story of the trip to Mongolia, the journey while horseback riding, the meetings with the shamans… Need I add more? It’s an amazing, inspiring story, that definitely brought me to tears many times.
But I had one problem with it: accessibility. It’s true that everything is possible. It’s true that you can leave everything and go to Mongolia. It’s all true. But how many parents can really leave everything behind and head off to Mongolia with their child?
And this is where “Following Ezra” comes in. It’s a story that anyone who’s close to a child on the spectrum can identify with. The stories are daily, ‘normal’, in the regular fields- kindergarten, community, school, barber shop, stores. And it makes the book so accessible- right from the picture on the cover. So familiar…
