Unfortunately, I don't have siblings. But I have a great amount of cousins: 4 boys and 3 girls, and I'm the elder among them all. But we see each other very rarely. Except my little beloved cousin who lives not far from me. She is eight years old, and when you have a cousin who is eight years old you have to be prepared to answer every question which comes to her mind. And the thing is, those questions never come to mind of a teenager or an adult, and more often I've got no idea how to answer to them. However, thanks to her, I start to think on serious subjects and spend next days searching for answers.
We spend quite much time together. Sometimes I come to take her from gymnastic class, and she tells me all her secrets and wishes. She is not a barbie-lover type of girl, and I always hear from her: "I don't understand those girls who try to do make up, wear accessories or somehow catch boys' attention, they are only eight!" And I always feel weird and have nothing to say, because I actually was a barbie-lover.
And I cannot imagine my life without my cousins; moreover I love them more than some people love siblings. So despite the fact I am the only child, I never feel alone.
Oh, and about the book. Did you like it more than the movie? I think they always change details.

Have you read the other parts? By the way, are you a big Harry Potter fan or you just decided to read this book like "why not" ?

  1. Hi Dayana,
    Great post about your eight-year old cousin. You can make description more impressive adding details about her. Her name, the example of some questions she asks, the places you go, the games you play. Such details could be very powerful.

    Keep writing,
    Yours,
    Marina
