I think he was afraid that Father would throw one of us.<br /><br />“Do you think he would have done something like that, Ili?” Sometimes Haians are soooooo innocent.<br /><br />Those may be the two best paragraphs I've ever read.<br /><br />RRAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7433463576690080907.post-28485042225561301602010-06-11T14:13:31.210-04:002010-06-11T14:13:31.210-04:00Hmm.

A lot of Ili [and little Megan from Shadown's Daughter] is drawn from my early memories.Vrykahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04635332962048022375noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7433463576690080907.post-40178568378975940932010-06-11T14:09:54.256-04:002010-06-11T14:09:54.256-04:00If you can remember being five, there's no sur...If you can remember being five, there's no surprise you're able to write children well. I deal with enough tykes that I have good mental models for juvenile thought processes, but I don't remember being <i>fifteen</i>, let alone kindergarten.Michael S. S.

I made the change, had him comment on it, too, that he doesn't always remember that Father is gone.<br /><br />The trick is trying to remember what kinds of things I thought when I was five. What was important. Of course Ili isn't a sheltered as I was so he's a bit ahead of some five-year olds.<br /><br />I'm going to have to do more kid's Vrykahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04635332962048022375noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7433463576690080907.post-84733298635126993242010-05-19T08:45:56.282-04:002010-05-19T08:45:56.282-04:00YAY!

They are a great change of pace, and I admire how well you show the skewed POV of the very young.<br /><br />suggestion:<br />“Oh, yeah. Father need to kill people sometimes. It made him feel better.”<br /><br />Should it be 'needed', or 'needs?' Past tense would imply that Ili KNOWS that Father is dead and does not have lingering fears of him coming back, Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
