The situations seem different but in reality they aren't, as both of them are expected to do certain things, the only different is that the daughter from to kinds in forced to do thing and Madame Loisel just feel like she had to do or to have a certain thing.

The difference in the expectations between the two characters, is made by making one character want a certain thing, and the other to be forces to do something.

And the other one is made or forces by on other person or character from the story to do certain things, and is expected of certain things.

Furthermore, this helps identify a better picture of her parent’s influence on Rosy and the rest of her family. If Rosy had only included differences, it would not be clear to a reader that there are similarities and what they may be.…

    One quote that shows this is “While the kitchen and the living room were well within the DMZ, the respective workspaces governed by my father and me were jealously guarded totalitarian states” (7). Vowell uses a hyperbole to describe the way they treat their workspaces as if it was there own state, where they had total control over everything in it. This quote shows how passionate they were about their interests and how much it meant to them. Another quote that their similar behaviors is “Dad’s shop was a messy disaster area, a labyrinth of lathes… It was also a messy disaster area, an obstacle of course of musical instruments…” (7). This parallel structure Vowell uses explains how even though her dad and herself have different interests, they still share similar ways of taking care of their belongings and they do similar things with them. This demonstrates how because, since they are family, father and daughter still share similar behavioral traits even if their interests are completely opposites.…

    Two Kinds Theme Essay

    • 318 Words

    The setting of a piece of literature is always important for the theme because it provides both historical, and cultural context for the characters. The setting of “Two Kinds” helps support the theme of the story for those exact same reasons. Historical context is of great importance in a story as it helps the reader understand what the implications of a character’s actions would be at that specific time. The story of “Two kinds” takes place in the United States during the late 1950’s, where during that period in time a child’s rebelliousness was seen as consequential disobedience, and therefore resulting in heavier punishments then a child in the present would receive. An example of this is when June’s mother physically attacked her when she…
