No two people on Earth are the same. Everyone has differences and Aimee Bender displays this in "Ironhead". The child with an iron for a head represents people that come into this world with traits that are different than most. The child's parents also had there differences, having the heads of pumpkins. The child struggled with his peers and had a hard time making any friends because he was different, although his two sisters, who also had pumpkin heads, made friends because of their ability to play soccer. The child died of exhaustion and that's when people began to feel bad for him.
It's sad that people go through life like this. People are excluded because of their differences and it isn't right. Everyone has their differences and people should be embracing them rather than discriminating. Our special traits are what makes us who we are and one in a million, not one of a million. More people need to open there eyes and see this. There would be way less problems in the world if the population can be theirself.

ReplyDeleteI think this statement nicely sums up Bender's project as a writer in presenting her readers with a cast of "odd" and unfamiliar characters.
