Full Paragraph Using Point, Evidence, Explain, Link or PEEL

The author demonstrates that the ability to accept a person can be difficult to do if their behavior does not fit your expectations. Totto-Chans teacher was unable to accept her behavior, I feel it is quite unnecessary to ask swallows what they are doing in the middle of class(pg. 3). The teacher was unable to see any value in Totto-Chans behavior because it was too different from her expectations of how a student should behave. Totto-Chans teacher was unwilling to recognize her creativity and find a more positive way to channel her energy. Not only did she find her behavior in class difficult, but she found Totto-Chans way of doing her work unacceptable. The teacher continued to tell Totto-Chans mother about how she colored a flag. She had drawn a yellow fringe that went right off the edge of the paper (pg. 3). The fact that during an art lesson, the teacher still could not accept Totto-Chans creative behavior, demonstrates how difficult it can be for an adult to accept a young students ability to think outside of the box. In these examples from the story, it is evident that the author is using the theme of acceptance and shows how difficult it can be to accept others differences and value them.
