ReplyDelete“Sick” by Shel Silverstein
“Sick” by Shel Silverstein is humorous, short poem in which Peggy Ann McKay is complaining about various medical issues so that she wouldn’t have to go to school.
The humor of the poem is given by the fact that the little girl is exaggerating when she is describing her symptoms of lots of illnesses. She starts by expressing her dissatisfaction about some infectious sicknesses like: the measles; the mumps and pox. The little girl proceeds by expressing her annoyance about some more physical issues then talking about some of the flu’s symptoms.
In the end, while still trying to create excuses Peggy Ann McKay finds out it is actually Saturday and doesn’t need to go to school so instead she goes out to play with all her medical issues disappearing all of a sudden.

SUMMARY
It all starts when little Peggy said that she can’t go to school. She tries to come up with all kind of excuses so that she can stay home.
The young girl first says some small injuries, yet she ends up saying that she has instamatic flu and that her leg is broke. She also exaggerates by saying that she has issues that young people don’t usually have, like her back is wrenched, her neck is stiff or her hair is falling out, and she even says that her brain is shrunk.
Before Peggy says everything she wants to, one of her parents tells her that it is Saturday and when she hears that, she runs out to play without saying anything else.
