Growing up by Russell Baker, is a Memoir that depicts the life of the author and how he obtained success despite facing numerous hardships. It was ultimately through the guidance and teachings of those around him which perpetuated Russell’s choices in life. The most influential of these people is his mother Elizabeth who has sacrificed so much of her life just to give her son a better one. The purpose for Russell writing about his life is up for debate, but due to how he describes his mother’s role in his life it seems that it is an Homage to her. When Lucy became senile during the later years of her life, she often forgot a lot about her life, causing Russell to write about it so nothing was forgotten.
