Literacy Narrative Scene Selina Wang

I remember sitting criss-cross apple sauce style in my third-grade classroom during storytime. The teacher was reading the book aloud and suddenly read a scene about two Asian orphans who were struggling to find some food. The older kid stole some money to buy some food for his starving younger sister. I remember the description clearly in my head. The author described him as the little boy with “almond-shaped eyes”. It is still ingrained in my head because it was then and there when all eyes laid on me. It was as if there were laser beams shooting from their eyeballs. I felt my skin burning and quickly escalating and turning into the shade of a tomato.
