Down Syndrome

Dear class and Ms. English,




I am reading a book called Down Syndrome by Marlene Targ Brill. It talks about how they look if they have DS (down syndrome). They have almond shaped eyes, and other looks. They learn in a slower pace. People are still studying DS and how people get it. But they still go to school and work like people not with disabilities.



This reminds me of my aunt. She has Down Syndrome. And she works to help the community by packing fork's and spoons in a package. She's one of my best Friends in the whole world. I also had a question which i didn't know why they have almond shaped eyes and other looks? This book made me feel sad that the people with DS had to learn in a slower pace. I think that this book is very interresting.

I read this book. People with Down Syndrome have an extra chromosome (read a book about genes) and I still do not know why they have almondy eyes.
