Name: Institution:

Coming of Age The, “Comic of Age” is a story that shows transition from childhood to adulthood. From the story, development of a child can be understood because things valued in each stage are written. Skeeter wonders why her mother keeps on insisting that the colored girls should be treated well because she sees beyond the skin color (Stockett, 2012). Confrontations, inexperience and lack of knowledge are some of the features seen in the story. Lack of Knowledge, Innocence and Inexperience Lack of knowledge is seen in page 72 of the story. In page 72 Skeeter is communicating with her mother about the colored girls. Mother said, “Be nice to the colored girls” (Stockett, 2012). After the statement the Skeeter was wondering the reason beyond the kindness. Further, the narrator asked the mother, “Why wouldn’t I be” (Stockett, 2012). The question and the conversation between the two shows that the narrator had lacked knowledge and wanted to ask the mother to be given more reasons. The mother did not respond to the question that made Skeeter to be worried. The colored girls could be feel intimidated or discriminated because of the skin color and that was why mother insisted that they should be treated nicely. Due to lack of knowledge, Skeeter was not able to understand the meaning of mother’s statement. In page 74, inexperience and innocence is evidenced when the author explains that she was told thing to believe in being a girl, coloreds and politics. The narrator claims that she latter realized she had to choose or determine what to believe, “I had a choice about what to believe” (Stockett, 2012). According to LaPlante (2015) in life, during puberty stage children are innocent and do not have experience. From the quote Skeeter was at age of puberty, because she used to believe what she was told but later come to realize that she was supposed to believe according to his own perception. Trials or Confrontations Affecting Individuals Views According to LaPlante (2015) confrontation and trial that affect individual views also take place during growth of an individual. The story shows clearly the issues of confrontations and trials. In page 10 of the story, suggestion of building a bathroom outside the house is raised. It is states by Hilly that, “maybe we ought to build bathroom outside” (Stockett, 2012). The issue of confrontation arises when the author is confronted and informed of the new development. She was confronted and informed that she should be taking bath outside meaning that she has to face the outside world. In life, as a child grows there are many changes that take place like going to school (Blatterer,2009). The child faces the trials and confronts the changes as they arise. In the story, the issue of trail is seen when an option of creating outside bathroom is raised. New Maturity and Growth and Enlarged Concept of Right and Wrong The concept of differentiating between wrong and right is also seen in the story. In page 74, Skeeter claims that she was able to realize that she was able to determine what to believe a part from the teaching got from the people. In page 66 of the story, Sketeer ask the mother about what could have happened if she ended up without getting husband (Stockett, 2012). All her friend had abandoned school to get husband and children though she was still in college. According to Blatterer (2009) the ability to resist influence shows that she was able to choose right and wrong moral values. Teenagers in the society are affected much by peer influence and the ability of Skeeter to resist include shows maturity and ability to differentiate between wrong and right. References Blatterer, H.
