It’s Rachel’s eleventh birthday but she doesn’t feel eleven. On this day she feels more like one. Her insensitive teacher wants to find the owner of a red sweater that’s been sitting in the coatroom for a very, very long time. No one in Rachel’s class wants to claim it. When Rachel is accused she doesn’t speak up for herself. The following writing skills are beautifully done in this short story: Inner Thinking. With inner thinking, we as the readers get a better idea of what her personal experience was like.

"Happy New year!" Elizabeth's Mom says to her. It was finally New years and the Smith's were excited for this. "Why aren't you cheering?" Elizabeth's mom asks. Elizabeth sighs. It was the middle of winter and Elizabeth's small home didn't have much heat and the paint was chipping off the walls.. "All the kids in school make fun of me" Elizabeth says as she starts to tear up. "They make fun of our car, my clothes, and even my school supplies." Elizabeth is trying to hold in her tears and lump forms in her throat. "Why didn't you tell me this earlier?" Her mom says in a voice like she's talking to a baby. Elizabeth regrets saying all this and wants to run into her room and curl up in her blankets. "Its just that I like where we live and the car we drive, I don't understand why they say all of this" Elizabeth says in a shaky voice. Elizabeth and her mom have moved from the kitchen to the couch. "Don't let them get to you. it doesn't matter what you look like on the outside it only matters what's on the inside. Elizabeth's mom says.
