Response to "Ribbons"


“Ribbons” is a short story about the bond between family. The ribbons in the story symbolize a huge thing. The love between them and the understanding of each other. Dancing was the daughters passion, but every time the grandma saw them, it brought back memories of her past. Of how the pain in her feet from when she was younger never went away.

All she wants is for her granddaughter to never feel the same pain she did. Stacy didn’t understand that at first and thought that “Paw-Paw” was just mean and cruel. But that all changed once she learned the truth behind her bedraggled feet. So those ribbons of hatred for grandma turned into ribbons of love.
