Sometimes society will agree with these things‚ and sometimes it won’t. Self-identity is the result of trial and error in terms of resistance to the cultural norms of one’s society‚ and the lessons learned through such resistance‚ as demonstrated in Munro’s An Ounce of Cure and Boyle’s Greasy Lake. An Ounce of Cure tells the story of a teenage girl

It breaks my heart that he said absolutely nothing about today‚ maybe he had a long day at work. Maybe we’ve had so many anniversaries that this one didn’t mean as much to him so he didn’t care. All these questions in my head slowly brought me to tears ‚ only God knew how much I wanted to cry ‚ and eventually

Mucky. That was the first word that came to mind when Ivori thought of the waters that filled the Dimwold swamps. Slowly trickling water full of fallen limbs‚ muck‚ and oddly googly eyed fish that waited for you to take one wrong step. Their eye stalks made them easy enough to see if one knew what they were looking for in the dense fog that always hung in the area.

“Congratulations‚ you have a beautiful baby boy!” my mother said as she rubbed my head with the biggest smile I think I had ever seen. Last year I would have never thought that I would be a mother a year later‚ especially not at the age of 16. I could still remember when my brother and sister were little and I would have to take care of them all the time. At least with them the responsibility was not all mines. This was “my child.” I would have to make sure he was fed‚ bathed‚ changed‚ and happy
