This was written very powerfully!

The strongest lines to me are:

"They can cut you and make you bleed. Hurt you, and make you cry. All because they are sharp, just like people."

- This stood out to me, because I have never thought about it this way. It makes me think about all those times I was 'sharp' and it gets me thinking about what other things can be just like people.

Kudos on a though-provoking drabble

Hey,

That was gorgeous. I really, really loved the way you wrote that! Some of your personal opinions could have been kept out to maximise the effect, but it was brilliant all the same. May I ask for permission to print this essay/drabble out and stick it on my wall?

Wow, really wierd how similar they are.

Wow, I never thought of that. But I'll never be able to look at paperclips in the same way again! I love this.

Ok... Very... Creative? Imaginative? You took those paperclips to a higher level!

Woah. Creepy. Paperclips can break too. Like people. You twist them, until they're so weak that they break.

O. I really like this. Isnt it amazing how people can be comparied to the oddest thigns? I think its cool. Anyway, good work.

Wow, I never noticed that people are like paperclips...weird, but cool. Do they seriously give you the creeps?

I've always preferred to liken most people to pieces of crap.

Lol. Pretty cool. I liked it alot. Made me think about stuff...namely paperclips. Actually, I think cars a bit like people too. O_o might just be me, though.

Interesting... but when you unwind paperclips, they're all just about the same thickness. Interesting analogy. Props!
