    Analysis Of Confetti Girl

    In the stories, the narrators are faced with situations that show their true feelings, which builds the tension between themselves and their parents. In Confetti Girl, the narrator's perspective about her dad and his intentions creates tension when she shows him sarcasm. Since the dad is an English teacher, he was curious about her own English class and it became the topic of the conversation. He began to teach her about prefixes; the narrator clearly feels annoyed with her dad when she sarcastically replies, “It could have been super-duper or super-loop for all I care,” (paragraph 17).
