The Other Sophia by Sophia Watwood was a wonderful piece that perfectly captured what it's like to have the same name as someone else in your class. The author expresses her feelings of being a second rate Sophia through similes, metaphors and poetic prose. I especially liked the metaphor about the author being the Ron Weasley to the other Sophia's Harry Potter. 

I felt this piece to be very relatable to anyone who ever had to share their name with someone. I thought that the vivid descriptions and expressive vocabulary just helped to further express the author, particularly during the fourth column where the author begins to have a change of heart, realizing that she is not a second rate Sophia, and that the Sophia she always put on a pedestal was not as perfect as she had imagined. And that all ties in with the last sentence of the piece "I am no one' s lesser version" which could not be more true.
