Here are some reasons I like Sharon Draper’s writing.
She put it in Melody’s point of view.”I can’t talk or walk.I can’t feed myself or take myself to the bathroom. Big bummer.My arms and hands are pretty stiff,but I can mash the buttons on the TV remote and move my wheelchair with the help of knobs that I can grab on the wheels.””I can visualize what Melody’s looks like.”I guess they see a girl with short dark,curly hair strapped in a pink wheel chair.”The author is funny.”I don’t know how he manages to control them at work,or even if he does but when he’d get home he would let them loose.They’d start as he walked up the stairs. Step fart,Step fart, Step fart.”
