Short Story Of A Woman By Rosemary Wells

Improved Essays
Did you know that a 1984 study conducted by Rosemary Wells, show us the 74% of people who surveyed thought the tooth fairy was a girl? Of course the tooth fairy isn’t real but kids like me like to imagine. You can just imagine her wings glowing in the night sky or see her as she is fluttering and hovering outside of your window or maybe even in your room. Although no one knows quite how tall she may be, she must be pretty tall. You could watch her fly through the clouds and see how the clothes on her body are of every color. It is very sad to see her disappear into the sun, but just know that she is watching you in case you have any more teeth for her to collect. Many kids around the world, young and maybe some old, always expect to see money

    Before I read the book A Long Walk to Water I never really knew how the rest of the world was in poverty stricken countries. I always thought that it was bad there but not to the extent of what that book showed me. It shows how the war has taken a toll on the people and countries there like the sudan lost boys who most of them never found there family again.
