The title of this short story is quite suitable for the content of the story. Actually the story is telling about a girl, who is little depressed and rebellious against her family. The period between childhood and adulthood is usually make teenagers to feel themselves under pressure and make them want full freedom. Here we can see a teenage girl, who is trying to prove herself to her peers and her family. In some part this kind of acting is normal, they usually struggle both emotionally and physically. Imagine you are trying to be accepted by your surrounding, even you do not know yourself. Connie, the main character, feel and act as a normal teenage. However as a detail, we see that the author mentiones how Connie gets jealous of her sister. Some of you might think that this part has no importance for the story,however besides the story this detail might be the evidence of psychology of adoloscents. Being a teenager might make you feel somehow depressed and confused,even you might get jealous of your own sister. Besides this part we mainly decided that Connie was day dreaming at the end of the story,in which a man seduces her and forces her to go with him. If this was day dreaming, it might be linked to the fear of getting know her (Connie) sexual identity part.
A very nice exploration of the confusions of adolescence.
