My motif was Change, since the protagonist wanted to have a change in their life, and tried many times to change, such as getting a haircut. Evidence of this is, " I wanted something different. I wanted my entire life to be different--maybe I just settled for a haircut."

# data[].attributes.body
The motif was growing up my evedice is from the story The haircut by  Manuela Soares ". Dad doesn’t like to yell and he didn’t this time. He just told me how disappointed he was in me. That usually makes things worse, but for once it didn’t change anything. I didn’t regret a minute of that night."
This show that usually if this were to happen she would be in the wrong.
Now she has grown and feels she is right.
she doesn't feel guilty.

One example from the story is "He just told me how disappointed he was in me. That usually makes things worse, but for once it didn’t change anything. I didn’t regret a minute of that night. " From going to the party and not listening to her parents she got in to alot of trouble that led her to face the fate of her actions.

My motif was trust i chose trust because her parents trusted her to go to prom. "I got home at five in the morning and walked in on my parents yelling at each other in the kitchen. Somehow they’d found out I hadn’t been at the prom. They stopped as soon as they saw me.

Dad said, “Sit down, young lady.” He was mad. Mom was so upset she couldn’t even speak. Dad doesn’t like to yell and he didn’t this time. He just told me how disappointed he was in me."

# data[].attributes.body
my motif is confidence. "Maybe they did suggest I cut my hair, but I was tired of the way it looked; I wanted something different. I wanted my entire life to be different--maybe I just settled for a haircut. " She was confident and didnt care what anybody thought about her hair.

My motif is trust because her parents trust her but she used the trust as granted "I got home at five in the morning and walked in on my parents yelling at each other in the kitchen. Somehow they’d found out I hadn’t been at the prom. They stopped as soon as they saw me".

"Dad said, “Sit down, young lady.” He was mad. Mom was so upset she couldn’t even speak. Dad doesn’t like to yell and he didn’t this time. He just told me how disappointed he was in me. That usually makes things worse, but for once it didn’t change anything. I didn’t regret a minute of that night."

In the story the protagonist is punished for sneaking to their friend's house. "In the end, I was grounded for the month until graduation and then sent to Grandma and Granddad’s for the summer--away from all “bad influences.” The character later on found out their sexuality, being interested in a girl at the farm. "Sally pointed out a special place. We sat by a stream, the horses munching grass nearby, and talked. We liked each other. And I liked the way she looked at me. Suddenly I understood something about myself. Was this the change I wanted? Was this a different me?

It took all summer to find out."

bullying

My motif for "The Haircut" is family relationships. "My mother is aces at exasperation. You just don’t want her to move over into mad. My brother came home from college and laughed when he saw me--a nervous laugh that really upset Mom. Maybe it confirmed for her how bad the haircut looked--and reminded her that I’d disobeyed. My dad’s in the army so we’re all about discipline around here." This shows the protagonist's connection with her immediate family in the story which leads to key events in the text. Due to the protagonist betraying her parents trust via going to her friend's (whom both parents didn't think too fondly of) house, she got sent away to a more "wholesome" environment with her grandparents.

the motif i chose is facing challenges,my evidence is "Dad said, “Sit down, young lady.” He was mad. Mom was so upset she couldn’t even speak. Dad doesn’t like to yell and he didn’t this time. He just told me how disappointed he was in me. That usually makes things worse, but for once it didn’t change anything. I didn’t regret a minute of that night. In the end, I was grounded for the month until graduation and then sent to Grandma and Granddad’s for the summer--away from all “bad influences.” " this shows she had to face a challenge which was her parents not supporting what she wants

# data[].attributes.body
The motif i chose is power because in the passage her parents doesnt want her to be her self and will put her down for her choices. in the text it states  "I was grounded for the month until graduation and then sent to Grandma and Granddad’s for the summer--away from all bad influences.” this edvidence tells me that her mom kept her away from having fun and being annoying, another piece of evidence that connects to power. is " It didn’t help that I got home past curfew two weekends in a row after going to the movies with them. Suddenly, Mom said I couldn’t go to a sleepover at Patty’s that had been planned for weeks. How did she put it? “Until you learn how to tell time.”  basically this passage is about her parents just giving punishments, and kept screaming at the girl.

growing up

"Mom blamed my friends Patty and Marilyn. She said there was something wrong with them because they have really short hair and don't use makeup. And oh yeah, they don’t date. She thought they had too much influence over me--like I don’t have a mind of my own. Maybe they did suggest I cut my hair, but I was tired of the way it looked; I wanted something different. I wanted my entire life to be different--maybe I just settled for a haircut." it shows how she didn't care what her mom thought of her new haircut she was tired of her long hair so she cut it.

# data[].attributes.body
She didnt care that her mom said no she still did it anyway. According to the text " It was the haircut that sent Mom over the edge,  Last week, she had absolutely forbidden me to cut it." The motif is also change because she wanted to change her life by cutting her hair short. Evidence of this is, " I wanted something different. I wanted my entire life to be different--maybe I just settled for a haircut."

confidence

# data[].attributes.body
I chose confidence because she cut her hair even though her parents thought it  was so wrong and a bad idea, in the text it states that "It was the haircut that sent Mom over the edge. When I walked in the door, she looked at me hard, the corners of her mouth turning down. Then she looked away, back at the potatoes in the sink. Last week, she had absolutely forbidden me to cut it.Upstairs in the bathroom, I studied my hair in the mirror--short. It made me feel a little exposed, but then running my hand through what was left made me smile.

No one in my family ever talks about anything important, so Mom stayed silently upset and Dad acted like nothing had happened. I just wanted everyone to get over it."
