Childhood In My Antonia, And Greasy Lake

Along with adulthood comes responsibilities that many children are incapable of underholdning until they are forced into the real world with age. Childhood is a time of youth that brings happiness and color to the world. It only lasts so long, until the adjustments of teenhood hit and adulthood follows shortly behind. How people choose to cope with this adjustment determines their future forever. The novels My Antonia by Willa Cather’s, To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee, and Greasy Lake by T.C Boyle all relate to each other under this broad topic, through transition from childhood into adulthood. Each author has chosen a significant way of explaining each character’s journey to adulthood from learning life experiences. There are various different
events in the story, many of which demonstrates how each character would grow up into mature adults.
