In Bernice Friesen’s “Brother Dear” the narrator is a grade 11 student named Sharlene, who plans to escape to the University of Alberta like her brothers had done (Friesen 26).

I dealt with the static, the lengthy drying time, and the hours of styling that I had dealt with ever since I was little, all because I wanted to be loved and accepted. I wanted to fit into the box of typical girls my age who all had the exact same haircut so that I would be considered “pretty” by the rest of my…
