Lonely and different: accents, big brothers and being too much, sentence 6
Loneliness has many shapes: a big brother who shuts his door at 13, friends who say you're "too loud", being picked last, a far-away farm, a month off ill; the thread through all of them is that it is rarely about something wrong with you, and real friends like you as you are.
Who acts: Loneliness, big brother, friends, you, door · What happens: have, shut, say, be, pick · To what, where: many shapes, door, 13, thread, all · Speech: someone speaks here
