What's the matter with your hair?" (Page 92) treyaburnette https://padlet.com/treyaburnette/7zzbza2zmu1ec3j7/wish/951385325 The first thing we hear her mom say is an insult. Instead of standing up for herself she just sits there and takes the criticism probably because she doesn't want to argue more]]> 2020-11-23 08:04:28 UTC https://padlet.com/treyaburnette/7zzbza2zmu1ec3j7/wish/951385325 "And that's what she is. A Horse" (Page 92) treyaburnette https://padlet.com/treyaburnette/7zzbza2zmu1ec3j7/wish/951404661 This metaphor is used to convey that Waverly's mother is strong willed. She doesn't back down easily. In the very next sentence Waverly describes herself as a rabbit because she, unlike her mother, is timid]]> 2020-11-23 08:12:08 UTC https://padlet.com/treyaburnette/7zzbza2zmu1ec3j7/wish/951404661 "She did not come to me, crying, "Why are you not playing chess?" (Page 95) treyaburnette https://padlet.com/treyaburnette/7zzbza2zmu1ec3j7/wish/951413730 Waverly tried to stand up to her mother when she was a kid. She did this by deciding not to play chess. However instead of caving to pressure her mom just decided to ignore Waverly's actions. In the long run it ended up hurting her because afterwords she wasn't as good at chess. ]]> 2020-11-23 08:15:33 UTC https://padlet.com/treyaburnette/7zzbza2zmu1ec3j7/wish/951413730 "You can't ever tell a Chinese mother to shut up." (Page 96) treyaburnette https://padlet.com/treyaburnette/7zzbza2zmu1ec3j7/wish/951422319 One reason for Waverly's inability to stand up to her mother is due to the culture she was raised in. It is just an accepted fact for her that talking back to her mother is disrespecting her. Disrespecting mothers is generally frowned upon. ]]> 2020-11-23 08:18:52 UTC https://padlet.com/treyaburnette/7zzbza2zmu1ec3j7/wish/951422319 "You don't understand. You don't understand my mother." (Page 100) treyaburnette https://padlet.com/treyaburnette/7zzbza2zmu1ec3j7/wish/951431106 Waverly's relationship with her mother is something other people don't really understand. Not only Rich, but also her friends that she talks to on the phone. They were probably raised differently than her. From an outside point of view it seems obvious she should stand up for herself but from her perspective its a lot more complicated than that. ]]> 2020-11-23 08:22:15 UTC https://padlet.com/treyaburnette/7zzbza2zmu1ec3j7/wish/951431106
