I. THE TWO SISTERS

II. Story
            
           This story is about a girl named Marianne Jane Tolentino. She was the only child. She always gets what she wanted. One day, her mother got pregnant and later on gave birth to her younger sister Ella. She doesn't want to have a sister because the attention that she was getting is not just like before. She gets angry to her sister. She was so jealous. Her parents noticed that there is something wrong to her. They explained to her that having a little sister is fun and that they are both loved. By then, Marianne is playing and taking care of her younger sister. They both love each other.


III. Weak Points
             
          The story portrays how sisters get jealous with each other and this jealous can lead to more serious conflict when they grow up.

       Positive Points

          The older sister realized that she should love and have the responsibility to her sister even in a yoiung age.

IV. How can I relate myself to the story
             
          The he situation in the story is the same as what I had experienced in my childhood lifebut the only difference is that I am the one who is getting jealous with my older sister. But as time goes byand we grow older, I realized that it's only me who is thinking like that. I learned to accept that I am not the only child and not to compete with the attention of our parents.

V. Realization

          I realized that being a parent is a big responsibility, you should have equal love with your children and also give them enough attention. And as an older sister, you should take care of your younger sister and do not get jealous.
