This week’s ESL assignment would become Elena’s favorite: Use the word “string” five different ways. And on Friday bring a show-and-tell example to class.
Elena wrote:
—You dress like a mangy string bean.
—I don’t care, you have to wear Grandma’s string of pearls.
—I pulled a lot of strings to get you into this prestigious school, and you’re going.
—He continued the string of insults.
—Am I his puppet on a string?
For show-and-tell Elena brought to class her famous father’s Stradivarius.
And scissors.
