Examples Of Rite Of Passage

The rite of passage that is most important to me is trying to figure out who you are.

This is important to me because knowing who you are is important. When the narrator says, “And mamma’s in the bedroom with the door closed.” I feel sorry for the girl. She is only fourteen and needs to be loved, she needs attention. The girl is living a tough life, she talks about how she doesn’t have anything to wear the next day.

The young girl says “what if I die?” and “will I live long enough to grow up?”. When I hear these things, it makes me feel awful. No child should have to say those things. The young girl is having difficulty with thinking positive. I couldn’t imagine being in her perspective.

“Nobody even stops to think about my side of it.”
