Song, a university student, takes a year off to participate in beauty pageants. She is ambivalent to begin with, but eventually gets swept up in the hoopla.
I enjoyed this trip down the walkway. Song is a great example of people that come to crossroads in their life - a decision needs to be made, but at what cost? This lesson was taught in a very unique way. I liked it.
This was one of my favorites in the collection--interesting how the dummy began to voice some of the things Song was thinking deep down.
ReplyDeleteTrish ~ I think I liked the beginning stories better, but there hasn't been one I didn't like. :) I'm looking forward to more.
