This is Why I’ll Never be an Adult
The story that I have connected with the most is This is Why I’ll Never be an Adult by Allie Brosh. I think Brosh’s message is to not take life so seriously, and that sometimes it is okay to just be yourself. Sometimes it is okay to forgive yourself for your shortcomings, and to celebrate the little things, especially as we age and gain more experience in life. The reason I choose this text was because I feel like many people can relate to how Brosh describes feeling though her story. Brosh tells the tale of a young adult, who still wants to be the carefree child and teen, all the while juggling adult responsibilities. A lot of 20-somethings can relate to the feelings of ‘adulting’ and being responsible, but also second guessing ourselves as we grow and mature into functioning adults. I think this speaks to our culture of having to be responsible for ourselves as soon as we hit age 18. We feel overwhelmed, and we yearn to just be a kid, and I think Brosh shows this experience though her direct and indirect characterization and how the plot goes though the rising and falling actions, and how Brosh uses illustrations to get the reader captured and engrossed in the story. …show more content…
In the story, we can clearly see just how Brosh, and young adults feel about responsibility. In Brosh’s chart we can see how as the level of productivity increases, and the level of responsibility increases, we reach peak function. Success! We are functioning members of society! However, there seems to be a breaking point after our self-congratulatory success. Finally ending in system failure, ‘scientifically’ speaking. This I feel to be not only an example of indirect characterization to Brosh’s character, but also a truth for some of us out here in the real
