378 Words2 Pages

The most difficult element to discuss about Pronoun was that two teenagers were getting married. Two sixteen year olds, eighteen in the CCA production, were making the commitment to spend the rest of their lives together. Amy’s mother being super enthusiastic about her sixteen year old daughter getting married, but at the same time unwilling to accept one of Amy’s best friends though his transition is strange to me. This was definitely the hardest part for me to swallow, based on my own personal experiences at either sixteen or eighteen. I would compare Pronoun to “Elemental Journey” by Alicia Gaspar De Alba, they were both compelling tales about becoming yourself.

    Without a theme, a story is just a story with little meaning. To test whether a theme is worthy, the reader should ask whether it teaches a lesson, whether it's revealed through characters and whether it applies to the entire work. Several themes in the novel Night by Elie Wiesel and in the movie The Book Thief pass this test. In Night, Elie writes a memoir about how he and his family are sent to Aushwits, a concentration camp, for being Jewish during the holocaust.

  • Identity Status Model

    Identity formation is one of the most fundamental tasks in life span development, particularly for adolescence and emerging adulthood (Arnett, 2000; Erikson, 1968). Since its conception in Erikson’s ego psychoanalytic theory, a growing literature and significant advances have been made in identity development research (Schwartz, Zamboanga, Luyckx, Meca, & Ritchie, 2013).
