For instance, in the book “The Glass Castle”, the author Jeannette Walls was forced to take cake of her brother and sister’s because of her unstable mother and father. Weeks passed before her siblings had food, water, or even a home.…

    The Violin By Amy Tan Analysis

    The Violin by Amy Chua and Two Kinds by Amy Tan are two novels about a mother-daughter relationship. The speakers utilize varying tones when speaking of recollections of their memories.

    Twyla

    Alternating between five hostile and friendly encounters, Twyla comes of age through her relationship with Roberta, as I explicate in my essay “The Path to Maturity Starts with a Single Lesson.” I write, “Twyla comes of age when she honestly reflects on previous experiments, including when her mom offers to shake hands with Roberta’s mom at St. Bonny’s, but she is rebuffed” (Kwon, “Path” 2), and my conclusion sentence reads, “Overall, Twyla completely comes of age by the end of the story by learning from her mistakes, losing her innocence, and gaining knowledge of what is right and what is wrong” (Kwon, “Path” 3). Although I believe the ideas in this essay are adequate, my syntax is redundant, ambiguous, and unorganized. I write “These sequence of events exhibits Twyla’s caring personality and her will to find solutions to major problems, such as what happened to Maggie at St. Bonny’s” (Kwon, “Path” 1) but fail to analyze other influential events, such as their friendly encounter in the grocery where Twyla demonstrates kindness to Roberta.…
