In both novels the experience of growing up is explored through the use of narratives that span across lifetimes. In ‘Wuthering Heights’ Emily Bronte introduces the characters of Heathcliff and Catherine as children in an 18th century English household. In ‘A Thousand Splendid Suns’, Khaled Hosseini also introduces both Mariam and Laila from young ages. The purpose of this style of writing allows he reader to provide justification for the events that happen to each character, and support the understanding that the childhoods of each characters determine them as they mature. The experience of growing up is also heavily influenced by contextual factors, and without them the characters would have had very different ordeals.

In the short stories, “Saving Sourdi,” by May-Lee Chai and “The Moths,” by Helena Maria Viramontes, the main character of each short story goes through their own coming of age experience where they are forced to mature in order to overcome an obstacle. Chai explains her main character, Nea’s, struggle as she is forced to mature and overcome the departure of her older sister, Sourdi, from her life after she gets married and moves away. Viramontes, on the other hand, depicts her narrator’s struggle as she is forced to mature and overcome the death of her Abuelita on her own. Despite their very different approaches, both Chai and Viramontes successfully convey their main character 's struggles in their journey from youth to adulthood.

As a result, the narrator views Carlton as more of a guardian than either of his parents. It becomes clear that the isolation of the parents is responsible for the unruly lives of their sons. Robert

The book puts in question what are the important factors to a child’s development all the way until there teenage years. When growing up there are two main group of people that make us who we are; our parents and the outside world. When we are little, before we start school we do not know anything other than our family, this is called the first stage of development. By only knowing your family members this causes you to only act the way you see. However, a few years later, when

Coming of age is a recurring theme that is universally known throughout many different pieces of literature. Whether it’s influenced on true experiences, childhood memories, or even based on one’s current juvenile reality, many of theses works have a correlation between them that include many similar ordeals and struggles that the character goes through in order to metamorphosize into taking their first step out of childhood. One prominent theme that often appears is how one experiences and faces a time of tribulation and other walls that stand in one’s path. In effect, hardships mature and enlighten one, causing the loss of something such as childhood innocence. Lastly, these three combined points finally lead to one’s metamorphosis out of childhood. All in all, these three factors take one out of childhood, and slowly allows one step out into the reality of this world.

In coming of age stories, the protagonists often experience a pensive and dramatic moment where either they break through to adulthood or retreat to childhood - it is this moment that unveils the magnitude of growing up for the reader.

In many cultures, coming of age is often celebrated because children become young adults who grasp self-awareness and accountability. At the same time, childhood is threatened by responsibility, which is dreaded because there is an unpredictable world of adulthood waiting with no guarantees. James Hurst demonstrates the journey of growing up through life experiences everyone goes through in the short story, “The Scarlet Ibis”. Throughout his use of mood, setting, and symbolism, Hurst shows that maturing requires reflecting on past experiences and losing innocence, which then can transform one’s outlook on life.

p. 82). Therefore, the adult narrator’s ability to comment and reflect on his child-self effectively emphasizes the naïve and vulnerable nature of youth, and contributes to the mood of foreboding and suspense throughout the novel, ‘now I was over confident. I expected things to go my way’ (Chapter 1. p. 28).

“That’s why they were only taking a few things at a time; they weren 't really coming for ivory and paintings. They wanted me!” Even when she wasn’t in her room she was always afraid of something. “I always dreaded that my parents would divorce. It was my third biggest fear, right next to the fear that one of them would get abducted by heartmen on the road to Sugar Beach, or my first fear, that I would get sucked into the lagoon by neegee.” Out of all three fears only one seemed to happen. Her parents relationship finally came to an end after a lot of fighting, disagreement, and cheating. “Daddy, I hold your foot, don’t leave us. Daddy, please, I beg you” she cried that day. From then on, except the servants and cook, “it was only women at Sugar Beach.” Even after dealing with something so hard in her life that wasn’t even what affected her the most.

All of these functions of a typical familial life stem from the biological perspective of the individual displaying openness to experience. For example, a study testing the role of openness to experience on the brain’s default network found that those who are high in this factor have a network that works more efficiently than those who are less. This default network is specifically useful for thinking, processing, reasoning, and several other prime functions of the brain. With this information, the individual is able “to more effectively engage the neurocognitive processes associated with this network” (Beaty, Kaufman, Benedek, Jung, Kenett, Jauk, Neubauer, and Silvia, 2015, p. 778). To go along with this, other studies have shown that

When I started writing ‘Behind Familial Lines’ I was swept up a writers trance where I felt like I just could not stop. My mind was stopping, starting, changing, and cropping all sorts of ideas and scenarios which was absolutely fantastic as I felt like I was overcoming an emotional barrier in my writing experience; I defeated the voice inside of me which said that “writing is hard”, proving to myself just how flexible the story creation process can be. Alternatively, the pace at which the story was morphing in my imagination was making it difficult to pave a clear direction for the plot. I quickly realised that I had to calm myself down by asking myself what it was that I was trying to achieve by writing this story; upon centring my writing in this understanding, a mental filtering

Growth is inevitable and the most anticipated quest of man. It is a never-ending quest to evolve, fuelled by the constant hope for survival. Once natural growth halts, man’s focus shifts to the growth within. The coming of age, associates itself with this transformation from child to man, the step of letting go of childish ways and moving on to more mature things. The need for such a dramatic transformation is questioned by Miguel de Cervantes and Lewis Carroll in their texts, Don Quixote and Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland. While the texts follow two contrasting characters, they are brought together by the theme of fantasy. Cervantes’ Don Quixote is an old gentleman of noble lineage who becomes tired of the monotony and the lack 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.
