Blakelynn: (Annoyed) I’ll be fine, mom.

Serenity: Don’t worry her eyes are in good hands!

Blakelynn: Okay, so should we eat before or after the pa--

Serenity: (Serenity cuts her off) Wait, shouldn’t we do our homework and study instead of going to the party?

Which outfit goes better with my new shoes?

Serenity: (Kinda annoyed now) Don’t you care about passing your classes??

    The power of food as a tool in the growth and maturity of individuals is crucial through food’s usage as a metaphor to indicate the coming of age. The control of food defines the mother-daughter relationship and it is ironic that a mother’s cooking impairs her daughter’s self-actualization. Marilla suppresses Anne’s identity and personality by refusing to call Anne by the name of Cordelia and mentions “[u]nromantic fiddlesticks! … Anne is a real good plain sensible name” (Montgomery 24) and then orders Anne to “never mind [her] imaginings” (32).…
