Rosie- Little match girl!

                                         I did it!

The bandanna is to protect my identity

Alrighty folks, I’m proud to announce that I have officially finished my first Rory Gilmore book list book. Hoot! Hoot! Thank you! Thank you! I’d like to thank my mom for teaching me how to read, my dad for driving me to the library, and my dog for reading along with me. *Starts to cry as she excepts an award*

                ANYWay… What did I think of the book? Well… The little match girl was interesting, as interesting as a child’s storybook can be at least. As opposed to Mary’s lively view of the story, I thought it was a decent read, though I must admit I did find it a bit challenging, I tend to like to stick with picture books. After I was able to get over these facts I was able to enjoy the book. Well and this little minor detail…

                Some annoying, inconsiderate, delusional, and cheap little boy stole her shoe, to use as a cradle of all things! I pity the woman that marries him. First what was the boy thinking? Babies are small, but small enough to fit in a shoe? I don’t think so. Second, that poor baby, if they ever manage to fit it into that shoe, it will forever smell like foot stank. Lesson, shoes are to be worn, if a boy ever tries to steal your shoe, hit him upside the head and tell him to buy a cradle.

                Now back to the book, I can totally see why Rory would have referred to it. Her and her mother where standing outside their grandmothers house freezing as they stared at the front door. Then she very sassily asked her mother if they were just going to stand there reenacting the little match girl. In other words where they just going to stand there freezing until they started having hallucinations. Sounds like fun right? It should be made a sport!

          

                Under all my sarcasm, I really did like the book; I thought the ending was happy. No, that was not a typo; I really thought it was happy. The girl only knew pain and sorrow, but as she froze to death she had hallucinations of wonderful things that she never got to experience, she died happy. Now of course, the ending could have been made quite a bit happier, let’s say… without someone dying, but hey, yeah know, we all can’t be perfect. So to conclude this glorious first post, I give the little match girl a three out of five matches. You may light them now…
