Motifs: Childhood and Adulthood- As the generation to which the main characters (Antonia, Jim, and Lena) belong grows from young children into adults, the novel indirectly evokes many of the characteristics and feelings of children as they make the transition into adulthood. As a result, the vanished past for which many of the characters long is often associated with an innocent, childlike state that contrasts with the more worldly, grown-up present. But the motif of childhood and adulthood is propagated in the novel mostly by the feelings of the characters as they gradually begin to experience independence, responsibility, and sexuality, leading to a natural contrast between the before and after states of their lives.

When we were kids, we could not wait to grow up to be adults because we thought it was way cooler. We thought since we got told “no” that being an adult was going to be better. As we reach the stage of adulthood, we find that being an adult is not so great after all. Being an adult means bills, a job, and no more naps.
