The camparison between two sisters
• This passage is written in the vision of “a mom”, and she described her two daughters : Dee and Maggie. The writer wrote it very vividly and the words she used are extremely exact. As I read it, it just is like a picture appeared in front of me. But I don’t want to make a comment on it from a literary or political view. I would like to make a comparison between the two girls.
1 The appearance
Dee Maggie
Lighter
Nicer hair
Fuller figure

• But at the same time, we have to admit that Maggie is weak( 懦弱的 ). She doesn’t know how to strive for( 争取 ) what she wanted. When facing difficulties, she just yields( 让步 ) again and again. Maybe the quilts were the first thing she got for herself, so she can have a real smile.
• What can we learn from them? I think we should learn to be confident and brave to strive for our happiness from Dee. And more important, we should also keep a kind heart, don’t lose our directions in this busy world.
