The theme of the story Chrysanthemum is about bullying. I think bullying is very hateful and nasty in our life so, I think is very important. Why I think it’s very important? Because bulling can make people injured. And I think if it serious it will make people go into the hospital.

Early in the text, I think Chrysanthemum is very poor. And I also think the children are very unfriendly in the story. For example, when they were dancing the children said she is very bad at dancing and they said her name is very long and funny. Another reason is when her class in music class. Ms. Twinkle sang. Children sang too. But when they finished singing, Chrysanthemum cried because the children said, “Chrysanthemum is a daisy.” So I think children are very unfriendly in the story. And I think it shows that being friendly is very important in our life.

Later in the text, I feel the children knew they were doing something wrong and nasty things. When they said they were sorry it made Chrysanthemum very happy. For example in this story, when music end, it comes to recess time. In the recess time, Victoria and another children said sorry to the girl Chrysanthemum when she was crying. I think they were very friendly now. And I think the children are good in the story. This shows that if we do some thing wrong with another person, we needs to say sorry to them.

At the end of the story Chrysanthemum danced in the school musical and Victoria forgot her lines.  This made her feel bad yet Chrysanthemum giggled the rest of the way through the musical.

I think the story Chrysanthemum is a very important story in our life. Because it teaches us a very, very important lesson about bullying.
