Here, Asha is deliberately trying to hurt her mother's feelings and is acting very inconsiderately. Also, the fact that she is yelling at her mother, even though her mother is only offering to help, showcases her immaturity.

There are many incredible people who tend to be glossed over in the history books. For example, Henrietta Lacks, Ada Lovelace, and Rosalind Franklin were mistreated, taken advantage of, scoffed at, and all but forgotten by history.

One such woman is Sacagawea, a Sashone woman who bravely accompanied Lewis and Clark on their famous expedition as a translator, negotiator, and guide, all the while with a baby on her back. Many loosely associate her name with the U.S. gold dollar coin, but few know her story.

An analogy has been drawn about how she was in the past and how is she now. She was a carefree person, demanding love in her life, wanting to take care of her children and become a house wife and now she works as a schoolteacher, has become a responsible person concerned about her husband and child, struggling for her son’s life, bearing tantrums of her sister-in-law and living in a small house in a small city.
