Sacrifice in Ribbons

Author's note: I wrote this piece to demonstrate my understanding of sacrifices.

What if you had to sacrifice most of the objects you liked?  In “Ribbons”, by Laurence Yep, Stacy’s grandmother comes to live with her and her family.  Both Stacy and her grandma had to sacrifice a great deal of their things

For Stacy she had to sacrifice most of her objects.  The objects she had to sacrifice were ballet, her favorite TV shows, her room, and her ice cream bar.  She may get most of her objects back but of course not her ice cream bar.

Stacy’s grandma also had to sacrifice plenty of her things too.  The grandma had to sacrifice her feet, her furniture, and her home.  She may get some of her objects but not all of her stuff back.

In “Ribbons” there are an abundance of sacrifices by Stacy and her grandma, but both of them will get most of their objects back.
