First off, I had no idea that there was even a convention for Barbies, and secondly, I would love to sell a toy that I never opened for over $15,000. I had no clue that people found those dolls that valuable. Before I read this novel, I thought of Barbie as just a doll that girls liked to play with and as a boy, just didn’t care, we had much cooler Transformers. Now I realize that it is a collectable and people value it more then I could ever imagine. I have a new respect for the power of connection that people with such a simple object, that my mom threw away at the first possible chance when my sister stopped playing with them. The most important part of the story was definitely when she was talking to Judy because it really made everyone realize that Barbies aren’t just toys. They connect people in ways that you couldn’t image. This will help me write better by making me be more aware and understanding of all situations and to not let my personal opinions get in the way of everything around me.
