Influences On Rosemary's Life

a daughter from establishing her own identity." Different people might describe this relationship in different ways but one common theme they have is that the daughter cannot do any thing without the mother and she also has her mothers' image. In the novel, Annie and her mother were almost the same. They wore dresses cut from the same cloth; they went shopping together; and they even took bath together. She did many things with her mother and even wears the same cloth. Annie was like a little mirror of her mother. As the relationship gets to different stage in life it changes. For instance, the relationship you have with your mother when you are a child is different from the one you have during adolescence and it's also different when you are a mother yourself. But the most difficult stage is during adolescence.

In a suburban area, there are two friends, Rosemary and Alice. Rosemary and Alice are about thirteen years old. Rosemary is a ghost and the story is told from her perspective. Rosemary’s soul attaches itself to a bracelet she gave to Alice; Rosemary can’t go too far (only 21 meters). She only talks to Alice because she wasn’t well liked and she doesn’t want to scare her parents. People noticed Alice’s strange behavior, talking to herself a lot. Everyone worries about her. Alice’s friends try to hang out with her to make her forget about Rosemary’s death. However, they don’t realize by doing this they are angering Rosemary.

The kid thinks she is being selfish and doesn’t care about them while the mom believes they are doing it to help. The child thinks the mom is selfish when she tries to explain to them that she is going to Costa Rica so she can get her degree and help the family out. Cervantes writes, ‘“Honey, you can make friends at your new school in the fall. Besides, this is a wonderful opportunity for you,”’ (Paragraph 33 and 34). This quote shows how the different viewpoint cause tension because the child is telling her mom in a way that she is being selfish and she's not thinking about her. However the mom believes they are helping when she tells her child that she is going to get her degree and it will help. Cervantes writes, ‘“And after this I can finally graduate. Our lives will change then.”’ “She reached over and stroke my hair.” ‘“For the better,”’ (Paragraph 15). This quote shows how the contrasting viewpoints cause tension because the parent is trying to tell the kid it will get better after this but the kid refuses to believe that. So as one can see in “Tortilla Sun”, the different viewpoints cause tension because the kid thinks they are being neglected and the parent believes they are helping the

Madame Ratignolle was an example of their society’s role model woman, she was a “mother-woman” in which Mrs. Pontellier was not. For example “The mother-women seemed to prevail that summer at Grand Isle..They were women who idolized their children, worshiped their husbands, and esteems it a holy privilege to efface themselves as individuals and grow wings as ministering angels (p.14). The author illustrates this imagine of the “role model women” to show her audience what Edna contrasted against. This illusion describes how mother-women were viewed as angels, in which could represent love and protection over their children. From either a feminist opinion or not, a reader can observe how the society of that era perfectionalized their women. However, Enda shows and feels the complete opposite towards her own children. The authors enhances this statement by writing “She was fond of her children in an uneven, impulsive way. She would sometimes gather them passionately in her heart ; she would sometimes forget them.. Their absence was a sort of relief, though she did not admit this, even to herself, It seemed it freed her of a responsibility which she had blindly assumed and for which Fate had not fitted her.”(p.33) In

Why is this event important to the author? This narrative follows a girl, growing into a woman, wishing to be an author. More than this, she wishes to be accepted by her father as an author. It follows her struggle to validate her education to her family, and overcome the stigma attached to her non-married lifestyle. In the end, she brought a story she had written to her ailing father, who was not only delighted to read it, but also wanted to share her work with the whole family.

As time passes, Lily became curious about her mother’s life, so she decided to go on a journey to

As previously noted, for the reader to develop a full understanding and analysis of the conflicts between the mothers and the daughters, it is essential to know the mother’s past. This is because it allows the reader to connect with the characters on a personal level, as well as all the readers to do an evaluation of the characters to comprehend the story. Though Tan did deviate from the conventions of a novel, she ultimately provided a well-informed novel, providing all necessities that were required.

Although she may come off as slightly rebellious towards her mother, her feelings about her mother are far from being antagonistic. Instead, she solely wants a more exciting and successful future for herself in life. Clearly the young girl does not see herself dusting furniture and cleaning houses in her near future. In the second stanza, Julia Alvarez talks about the contradiction between these two characters.

Coming out of an unusual childhood, Rosemary faced an interesting period of growth throughout her teenage years and college experience. She had to make choices on who she wanted to be and founded them, slightly, in her experience with Fern, her younger sister and chimp. I chose this character because she is the focal point of the novel, but her change is the least evident and takes the longest.

The unhappiness that is portrayed by each women directly reflects on the time period and how relationship and women were handled. Marriage consisted of women taking care of the house while the men worked in order to provide for the family. In each of the stories, both women have free spirits and want more than what they are allowed to do. Based on the context and from inferring, the relationships that Elisa and Mrs. Mallard have with their husbands, has limited their dreams, aspiration, and goals in life.

The dissimilarity between Rosemary and my mother was rather obvious; my mother being a bourgeoisie woman, deeply introverted, whereas her sister, more spontaneous, as though she walked with the wings of confidence and smiled with the joys of freedom. Furthermore, both physically were also the subject of incongruity. Even though my mother was three years younger than her sister, looked six years older, and was bitterly jealous of the other 's agerasia. You could say that my mother 's stature could be compared to a lone pillar supporting the old- fashioned qualities of conservatism: tall for a woman, and a neck that always showed a protruding vein, no doubt from all the strain and stability it had to bear, head heavy with the sorrows of

The resentment within the young girl’s family is essential to the novel because one can understand the young girl better as she makes her decision.

This is emphasized by the diction and metaphors. From “[Robert being] excited” he passes to being “looked at straight through [his] eyes, deep into [his] mind” by his father. There is a clear passage to a more serious and fearful atmosphere dominated by silence, where “[Robert’s] sisters behave as if nothing had happened”. This is used to introduce the authoritarian aspect of the father. The text changes focus from the girls to the father and is rich of detail to gradually build up the tension. The rhythm slows down and every action of the father intensifies the suspense until in front of this adult figure Robert feels so vulnerable that “he believes [the father] knew everything” and compares him, with a simile, to “God”. The once more hyperbolic term shows the immense power of the figure of a father for a young boy and how significantly important it is for him to seek his approval. This is shown when the boy reflecting thinks “He was testing me to find out if I was worthy enough to tell the truth.” This shows an imbalance between the dominance of the male figure and the female figures, since the figure of the mother is not taken into consideration and he fears more the father than his two hypothetically older
