Feedback on Don't Spoil The Tablecloth
The fiction piece Don’t Spoil The Tablecloth by Molly Pearson was certainly different from what you’d usually expect to read during the holiday season. And yet, I found it immensely relatable. Molly is able to portray a teen’s holiday experience well; although it’s fiction, it’s detailed enough to seem to have been her own life. Between the fancy tablecloth and braggy extended family, I think there was something throughout the piece everyone has experienced at some point.
Like the tablecloth, my mom has glasses that’re for guests only, and I can’t touch them. I remember washing one and breaking it in the process; but I felt kind of satisfied, like when Molly’s character watched the table cloth be spoiled. “Rise, grinches, rise!” She thinks at the end, and out of spite I agree.
