mentally retarded boy in “A Song for a Barbarian Reed Pipe”. Maxine shows strong language that despises the mentally retarded boy as an enemy and a danger to her and her sisters. Kingston’s vivid and harsh tone, allows the reader to feel disgusted and discomforted as if they are Maxine. To make the reader become uncomfortable and disgusted towards this boy, Maxine uses words like monster, frankenstein, and fat to describe the boy. Though at first it seems to be wrong to describe this boy like this, it

Rolls by: Patrick Immelman & edited Domanick Once there was a fat kid named Chubs that lived in new york he was trying to lose weight by putting carrots in swiss rolls but that did not work that good, and he thought “what ever”. Then as he was walking home from school there was a swiss roll arguing at him, and he said “Why you making me more healthy?!”.
