From the Paper:
"The story is basically about how a young woman deals with adolescence. The most difficult stage of life for all beings as some might say, an expert wrote in Gale encyclopedia says, " Adolescence is a border between adulthood and childhood, and as such it has a richness and diversity unmatched by any other life stage. ... Adolescents are travelers, far from home with no native land, neither children nor adults. They are jet-setters who fly from one country to another with amazing speed. Sometimes they are four years old, an hour later they are twenty-five. They don't really fit anywhere."Cite this Analytical Essay:
