Ok so i read Ever day Use by Alice Walker, Two Kinds by Amy tan And Its Hard Enough Being me By Anna Lisa Raya. Each of them speaks some what of an identity crisis. I enjoyed "Its Hard enough being me" and "Two kinds" the first one being short gives it lots of plus points. Two Kinds was a little harder because it was so much longer. How ever Alice walkers one was terrible, it was long and boring. I didnt feel encaged at all. Anna Lisa Raya speaks about how up until she was in college she KNEW who she was but once she got into College should couldnt just be Anna she had to be Latina. She talks about all her struggles starting once she hit College because there was such enfisis on being A Latino and not Anna.
Amy Tan speaks about how she always felt like her mother wanted her to be something she wasnt and how she very much hated it. She stopped giving HERSELF a Chance just to spite her mother. For example with the Piano her mum wants her to play the Piano and she hires a deaf piano player to do it. Amy figures out a way to be lazy while doing everything she is asked to do. But at the end of the story, after her mother has died and left her a piano, and she is living on her own she plays the Piano just to see and she ends up actully being good at it.
These Stories all have an issue of identity Crisis, All not knowing who they are until very much later on in life. They find Life isnt easy, they berated their parents
