The baby was born premature and brought home; however, Ashley was soon told she would never see the baby again.

    The Pain Tree Olive Senior Analysis

    Unsurprisingly, once she rips the room to shreds, she still feels the core emotion she felt before: shame (Senior 315).

Lorraine believed that she could control the effect these women have on the young girls’ lives, but this is already set in stone from the beginning. At some point, there will be permanent separation between the girl and the woman who raised her.…

Most characterize childhood as valuable, precious and peaceful, and in some cases, our childhood may determine whom we will grow to be. However, in the novel “Lullabies for Little Criminals”, Baby’s childhood can be seen as a loss of innocence, as it was corrupted into something unpleasant.…
