Girl is about a mother giving her daughter advice. While the mother is trying to give her daughter bits of information that'll be important in her life, she insults her and puts her down simultaneously.
Identify the Literary Devices:
Characterization (protagonist and static), plot (open, internal and external), setting (time period, location, etc), tone, style, language and theme/message.
Major Themes/Symbols:
How domestication and the knowledge of being able to prepare food, clothing and overall being able to take care of a household, will prepare you for eternal happiness. How being a "slut" will make you an outcast, and open yourself to sexual dangers. How being submissive is what's best for your future.
My Opinion:
I liked and didn't like it. I liked how the mother was trying to look out for her own daughters welfare. At the same time, she's closing her daughter off to bigger and better possibilities because she is young and impressionable.
Why Did I Pick It:
I like how the moral of the story is just because your parents or elders say so, doesn't always make it right. However when it comes to your safety, you better do what it told.
