Personal Narrative-The Doll Murder

583 Words2 Pages

The Doll Murder I had just moved to the little town of Plain City. That day was too frosty to be outside so my younger sister Sydne and I decided to finish unpacking all of the millions of boxes filled with toys, in our basement. I started searching through the tall boxes lying around our basement floor, that were about the size of me, until I found the box, the one I was looking for. This wasn’t just any box. Noooo, it was the biggest box and my most favorite. Why you ask? Well, it was my favorite box because it had my Barbie dolls in it. Sydne knew she wasn’t allowed to play with them unless she asked me first . I started rummaging through the box. All my other Barbie dolls were soaring through the air as I flung them out. When I reached the bottom I saw it; my most prized possession, my Wedding Barbie …show more content…

I decided to name her Wedding Girl just like the box said. I never went anywhere without her. Anyway, instead of me unpacking I decided to start playing with my barbie dolls and Wedding Girl. Sydne saw me playing instead of working so she decided to come over to me. She dashed across the room like a cheetah. “Can I play?” Sydne asked in her squeaky high pitched voice. “No,” I yelled solidly and continued to play. “Please,” Sydne said again “Please, please, please, please?” On and on she was begging, so I finally yelled “FINE!” I knew she was upset when I gave her one of my other dolls instead of Wedding Girl but I didn’t care. I set down Wedding Girl to go get something across the room. When I turned around to look back, I saw it! My most precious Barbie doll had vanished! I darted back like a bullet ready to tear apart the room. I was a volcano ready to blow when I looked over at Sydne and there she was my Barbie doll right in the midst of Sydne’s hands. I was enraged! “Give it back!” I shrieked. “Why?” Sydne said sarcastically stroking Wedding Girl’s

    Since the beginning of time, toys have often been an indicator of the way a society behaves, and how they interact with their children. For example, in ancient Greece, artifacts recovered there testify that children were simply not given toys to play with as in the modern world. The cruel ritual of leaving a sick child on a hillside for dead, seems to indicate a lack of attention to the young (Lord 16). The same is true of today’s society. As you can see with the number of toy stores in our society, we find toys of great value to our lives and enjoy giving them to children as gifts. Ask just about any young girl what she wants for Christmas and you’ll undoubtedly get the same answer: “A Barbie.” But what exactly has caused this baby boomer Barbie craze, and how did the entire world get so caught up in it? The answer lies in Ruth Handler’s vision for the first children’s adult doll. Mrs. Handler’s eleven and one-half-inch chunk of plastic began causing problems even before it’s public debut in 1959, yet has managed to become one of America’s favorite dolls.
