I think it speaks to teenagers about denouncing the tyranny of parental warnings in order to go their own way, no matter how dangerous/risky it may seem to those who have gone before them. I like to think Sally gave the author the motivation She (curly hair and shiny shoes I presume author was female, yes?) needed to make her own way in the world :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10486013512016697315noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5871370591659255940.post-62320610336515566282020-06-23T03:00:26.407+12:002020-06-23T03:00:26.407+12:00Enter your comment...I really love the poemEnter your comment...I really love the poemOnyirioha Ogechi Favourhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05191069992250640997noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5871370591659255940.post-25220009950692643702020-06-07T00:57:52.230+12:002020-06-07T00:57:52.230+12:00Thank you for dropping by, Helen.
