Nicholas Bevilacqua, Stephen Borini, Joshua Hartman.

Have you ever wondered how tension would change based on the point of view? In the books Confetti Girl and Tortilla Sun, the tension is created by the point of view. Both stories is in first person point of view. First person point of view means that the story is told by one of the characters in the story.

The story’s plot is, there is a girl that makes plans when they get home from a trip. The mother then explains to her daughter that they are going to be going out again. The daughter does not take this very well and gets very angry towards her mother. She then proceeds to storm off to her room and lay on her bed and cry. The mother then tries to talk to her daughter, but she is too mad at her to even talk. This shows that the mother and daughter are very tense at this moment in time. The daughter is clearly very angry at the mom because all they ever do is travel and the one time she makes plans, her mother says they have to travel again. If I were this girl I would also be very upset with my mother, but it would be ok because she is probably doing it so that she can support me and feed me. Although, the girl is very hostile right now, she still loves her mother. Also, it is not only the daughter that is tense, it is also the mother. The mother is tense because she knows that her daughter is angry at her, and that she will have to make it up to her to make things

    Review: The Cinematic Marvels of Greta Gerwig’s Lady Bird Andrew Hu “The only exciting thing about 2002 is that it’s a palindrome,” the titular protagonist complains to her mother in the opening scene of Greta Gerwig’s mesmerising directorial debut. In the year of 2002, seventeen-year-old senior student—née Christine McPherson— christens herself ‘Lady Bird’ in a Catholic high school in Sacramento, California, the hometown from which she inches to escape to “where culture is, like New York.” From start to finish, Gerwig’s solo flight is a riveting, poignant and brutally honest coming-of age dramedy that seamlessly captures the last bittersweet moments of adolescent life on the cusp of dawning adulthood, and offers a sincere, terrific roller coaster of a tale for fanatics and casual watchers alike.…

By using a non-linear structure, we are able to draw parallels between our protagonist and her daughter as one has life-changing experiences and the other making life-changing discoveries. The recurring themes of remorse, forgiveness and resolution happen simultaneously in the past and present.…

    My mother went out from the kitchen. Look at her, I mumbled, "Good afternoon mom." As guessing out something, my mother asked, "Is there anything?” I gave her the test and said, “My hand pains, so I didn’t focus and had not enough time to write"... My mother looked at me. I tried to avoid by looking to other direction. Suddenly, my mother sighs. "Go and take a bath." I nodded quietly and quickly went to the bathroom. I said to myself, "All right, so everything is finished." I thought such thing was over, but I was wrong. The next day, there was something different at my mom. She did not wash the dishes clean.

    In my opinion, this story is powerful and emotional. When I was reading it, first I felt happy because it was just a conversation between mother and daughter. Later, I felt sad and distressed. I felt sorry for Arlyn’s mother. She is very pitiful as she holds on to the fantasy that Arlyn would return. For example, she sits in her car, breathing in her lingering scent. She listens to her music and she wears some of her clothes. She calls her child’s name…
