Reading Response--"Grass Lake Teens"


Aupperlee’s story "Grass Lake Teens Paralyzed in Separate Accidents Form Friendship in Hospital"  has such a fun voice to it. It’s hard to believe that the nurses condoned their wheel chair races and helped the boys prank their but that’s pretty awesome. The ending seems a little too nice, their only problems were a bow tie and ill-fitting crown, as if the bigger problem of paralysis just didn’t matter so much but I think it’s great that there was such a positive story here. I wonder if Aupperlee knew that it would be so heartening when he took on the piece.
