in this piece a woman describes how we all need mending she uses a story of her grandmother to describe that mending something doesn’t make it go away. there is still always going to be a scar or a patch. she describes how her grand mother used to make all new clothes all the time, then when she was raped on night she stopped. now all she does is mend the old clothes. this woman says that her grandmothers scar will never go away even though over time she may have a mended heart.

i like the style of writing she uses in this article. i like that to get her point across she uses a story. that is partly why this piece interested me. i have a broken heart like the lady and this story that she used really hit home for me. the fact that there will always be a scar, whether it is on your heart or on your favorite jeans. i think that the fact that this story makes the essay come to life makes it a good “This I believe” piece. i think to have a piece that is like that you need to be able to relate to people and telling a story will relate to people.
