 * Timed BCR 2 **

“The ugly Duckling” is a view or comment on life because it’s really easy relating it to real life. You may not be the most pleasant to look at but you have to deal with it. We all get that it’s not fair but learning what to do with a situation like that is what matters. The ugly duckling decided to run away, and most of the time he regretted it, but in the end he got his happy ending. Some can suffer now but if you just wait, things change, like it did for the ugly duckling. Being different is not always a bad thing, but ugly duckling was always unhappy with himself, “nobody loves me, they all tease me!” He also felt his surroundings bother him “we don’t know anyone as ugly as you”, “why are you so different from the others?” Being who you think you are changes things be happy with yourself before you have to run away from it. Luckily for ugly duckling he got turned into a fine swan, and things did change one day. I think the overall theme is to be happy with yourself, no matter what. SCORE: 3

** Reflection ** For this Bcr I got a 3. For almost all of my Bcr’s I’ve missed the last part of a Bcr, which could be an extension, an inference, or an explanation and I missed that on this one too. I think I tried to get the author’s message through quotes from the story, which is good, but that can only be my proof. The goal was to find the theme and relate it to life. Even with all the quotes I think I was close to getting it perfect.
