Lucy Nelson or The Boy Girl

When starting to read this story i did not think it was going to end up this way. I thought it was going to have some kind of moral to it saying that theres no specific way that boys or girls have to act. I soon realized that it was quite the oppiste and that Lucy ends up just comforming to the norms. Even though i do not agree with the ending i was fairly pleased seeing that i hate stories with morals, there very unrealistic. While reading the story i found i really strange how her parents punished her. I guess it seemed to work though, becuase she was so embarressed about having to wear boys clothes. I feel personally that it is always the wrong way to teach a kid through embarressing them, you might make them stop doing what you dont want them to do but you crush some part of them in the process. This story made me sad becuase Lucy seemed like a very happy girl when she was playing with all the boys, and even though it didnt tell us much after she started acting like a "girl" she seemed more sad and almost oppressed in a way.
