     I just read a shout story, "I Stand here Ironing," by Tillie Olsen, and I feel sad about it because as a little girl you shouldn't have to do these thing.
     

     One line from "I Stand here Ironing" that stands out for me is " She was a beautiful baby. The first and only one of our five that was beautiful at birth" I think this is both good and bad it make me feel that the family will have a beater life, and is going to be a new star.
      

     Another line that I like was "She was two. Old enough for nursery nursery school," this stood out for me, because as a two year old girl she shouldn't stay in a nursery school.

     
     Jin never do his work, his a person that T care alot about, when I first when to the school to speak to one of his teachers, they told me that his a nice person a person that care about how other people feels, but his problem is that he nver does his homework not because he don't care,     
because he aways got other things to do when he get home. After knowing about these things I feel king of not knowing what to do I sometimes think that is my problem that he doen't always do his work. A feeks ago I see jin as a different person he not only care about his school work, and he also care about what he wants to do in the five years from now.
      
     I would like to read more stories by Tillie Olsen because it very tells how different people have different life.
