It Used to Be Green Once

The short stories It Used to Be Green Once by Patricia Grace and Revenge Gardening by Sue Harper have many differences. The children are all ashamed of their mother because of how she acts and the car she drives in the beginning of the first story while in the beginning of the second the child is very proud of his mother and her garden. How well the children listen to their mothers is very different between the two, because in the first the children always obey the mother even when they don’t want to while in the second the boy disobeys his mother several times. Finally each story has a very different ending, in the first the family wins the lottery and they all live happily ever after and in the second the mother eventually loses the gardening battle to the neighbors.

This is shown when they try to keep her from doing the shopping because they don’t want her to be seen in public, and whine about the swimming suits that she makes them wear. Finall
