"So we rode back to the house together, stopping every now and again as 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."

Growing up

I don’t think the mom does not want her daughter to grow up and she wants her daughter to be little girl but the daughter wants to grow up and get a new hair cut.

I think that the motif in the haircut is about freedom and wanting something different to support this the story states “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.”This shows that she just wanted freedom and to do something she liked.

The motif it think is in the haircut is growing up. I think it is growing up is because she almost needed to grow up to understand what was really and fake. In the text they stated "They were losing me, but they still had each other." which was showing her friends where fake they had this bad influence on her.

The protagonist has to have courage to figure out who she is and what she wants.She needed courage when she cut her hair knowing the consequences.

The motif of the story is change.It the story it says" 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."This shows she cut her hair for a change because she was feeling differently.

The motif of the story "The Haircut" is finding your identity. I think this because in the text it said "I wanted something different. I wanted my entire life to be different." also, "Suddenly I understood something about myself. Was this the change I wanted? Was this a different me?" These two details talk about her learning about herself and finding herself over the summer.

I think it is growing up because the text¨Haricut¨says¨ 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.¨This shows me that she never actally felt like this and the more she is growing up the more she changes.

The motive is growing because she says: Was this the change you wanted?  Was this a different me?  And there is other evidence that she is growing up, examples: she says she is going to prom, but she is going to Marylin's house.  In short, she lied to her parents, teenagers sometimes lie when they go to one place but go to another, in a nutshell.  She is growing up.

I think the MOTIF is courage because the protagonist still cut her hair even though her mother didn’t want her to. “Maybe they did suggest I cut my hair, but I was tired of the way it looked; I wanted something different.” And “Then she looked away back at the potatoes in the sink. Last week, she has absolutely forbidden me to cut it.”

I think this because she said "We liked each other. And I liked the way she looked at me. Suddenly I understood something about myself."

The motifs in the text "The Haircut" is Identity and growing up. For example in the text it say " Was this the change I wanted? Was this a different me?It took all summer to find out." So when i read this is that she is trying to figured out who she wants to be and, her own thoughts  about her self while she is getting older.

It took all summer to find out.”

"My mother is aces at exasperation. You just don’t want her to move over into mad. But that’s what happened. My brother came home from college and laughed when he saw me--a nervous laugh that really upset Mom."

I think the motif of "The Haircut" is to grow. I say to grow because at the end of the story the protagonist finds herself. First what helped her was the haircut, then it was going to the "prom". Lastly it was going with her grandparents. She met a girl she liked and she figured out who she was. she had to grow to find herself.

The motif I found was “identity” In the text it says, “Suddenly I understood something about myself. Was this the change I wanted? Was this a different me?” I think she is trying to find herself and this summer she will.
