The following questions will ask you to compare the original wording of Grimes poem to the TERRIBLE reworded version of the poem. You will need to explain why the reworded section is not as effective as the original. ORIGINAL: little sister REWORD: young sibling Which of the following explains why the reworded is TERRIBLE?

Young sibling doesn't tell the reader how young the sibling is. However, little sister does. Really? Please don't choose this one!

Young sibling sounds formal and cold. It doesn't show caring and puts distance between the speaker and the sister which is not what the poem is about.

Young sibling is too general. It doesn't give the very specific description the original poem does.

Young sibling sounds less interesting than little sister. Poets always try to make their poems sound interesting.
