I read Dawn written by Tim Wynne-Jones. A thirteen years old boy name Barnsey rode on a bus to visit his grandma for Christmas. He was worried that he would sit by a weird person on the bus. What I didn't understand was why Barnsey's mother ripped a $20 and gave half to the bus driver then the other half to Barnsey. Barnsey sat next to a girl that had nine earrings, nose rings, and had a Mohawk. But, they became good friends even if they liked different kind of music. Barnsey is 13 years old, and Dawn is 20 years
old. They talked to each other on the bus, and became friends. It makes me think of a quote "Don't judge people by the cover." That reminds me of a plane ride to Washington, D.C. A girl who sat next to me started talking to me, I said I can't hear- I gestured- do you want to write. She said sure, and we started writing back and forth the whole flight, and became friends. We even gave each other our e-mail addresses. It was weird.

We even gave each other our e-mail addresses. It was weird. I was surprised that a 20 years old girl didn't mind becoming good friends with a 13 year old boy. I was counting how many years apart one of my good friends is from me. As I was counting, it is the exact same years between Barnsey and Dawn. They are 7 years apart. One of my good friend, who is a CODA, is 7 years older than me. The ages 13 and 20 look like a lot of years apart, but compared to 18 and 25- it doesn't seem that many years apart. But, interesting... Yes, Renee my good friend- has influenced my life. I liked the fact that I had a good friend older than me, I tend to hang out with older people, but that's me. She has influenced my life, because I know she is a person who I can go visit if I want to get away from home. And, she has 4 children- I love kids. Her house is like my 2nd home.
I didn't really understand the point of the ending of the story. But, I think the lesson that the author was trying to tell us is to not judge people by the cover. It doesn't matter what people look like. They could still be a cool person in the inside. We need to stop going out and judging people by their looks.
