A Fatal Attraction

“She looked even more beautiful in the flame’s glow”.  

Jeanette Walls, the tiny three year old girl, wanted to be confident like her little Tinkerbelle doll with her cocky attitude, holding her hands on her hips and smiling with saucy red lips. Little Jeanette admired her doll and she wanted to make her feel the same sensations she had when she lit a match and moved closer and closer to the blaze until the heat of the fire became unbearable. She transferred her soul into the pretty figurine to reproduce her previous accident; when she was burned by the stove flame, to prove to herself that she wasn’t afraid of her enemy - fire, instead she was fascinated with it. (Maybe break the last sentence down into two...take it more slowly because it's better for the argument)

I could argue that one of the reasons  she was attracted by the fire was to attract the attention of her parents, maybe she hadn’t had enough. Her parents,  instead of keeping her from playing with fire, encouraged her to face it.

“You have got to get right back in the saddle” her mother said.

Young Jeanette wanted to looks fearless and brave in front of her parents even if a 3 year old girl shouldn’t need to prove anything to her parents; so she tested how long her finger could endure the flame without get burned, challenging the fire. Afterwards the adrenalin that coursed in her body  in doing something dangerous, became for her like a drug. She couldn’t stop playing with the fire and the danger made her feel alive and almighty. She pretended to push herself over the limit and to test her endurance against her bloody-red and glowing  fatal adversary that she had  previously overthrown.

Tinkerbelle’s face was shining because of the nearness to the match’s flame, but it was not close enough… so she lit another match to prove her courage, bringing the fire closer to her face. But this time Jeanette didn’t come out as a winner. Her favorite doll's face started melting and her pretty perfect face became more and more lopsided, making her seem like a mutant. Jeanette put  bandages on her doll's face wishing she would recover like she had after the cure in the hospital…but it didn’t happen. In the end Jeanette must have realized that a little 3 year old girl and her Tinkerbelle doll couldn’t be invincible. She seemed to grasp it in a mature way and she accepted this situation saying: “even though she was still my favorite toy”

I think you did a brilliantly impressive job...let's see what your colleagues think!
