I didn’t know that people would pay so much money for a Barbie doll. Before this essay my feelings about Barbie was a doll that I once played with and had a lot of them. My thoughts now about Barbie are that they are a great toy for little girls, but I don’t see why anyone would want to pay so much money for a doll when they could use it something else that would be more useful. What I got out of this essay was that some people have too much time on their hands but it’s good that they have something that brings them joy… I guess. What I liked about the essay was that it showed the different types of people that collect Barbie dolls. The most import part of this story I think is that it’s always nice to have something in your life that can take your mind of the stress and hardships of everyday life. My reaction is that the writer is pretty good at keeping my attention and that is not easy to do, because I don’t like to read, most of the time I get have way through the book and then never pick it up again. I think it will help me in my essay by showing me that if I put enough detail in my story it might come out to be somewhat interesting.

ReplyDeleteI disagree with the thought that Barbie’s are just great toys for little girls. If someone enjoys collecting Barbie’s or anything else for that matter and they have the money , they should buy whatever they want rather it is useful or not. I agree that this essay talks about the importance of the different types of people collecting the Barbie dolls and that it helps them in their daily lives. I think people who have or have had hardships need a crutch to help them get through the hard times.
