This novel is amusing because I am also approaching the milestone of my spouse meeting my parents. this passage taught me that your bond gets stronger with your spouse when they meet your family. Reading this passage, influenced me to be able for my spouse to meet my parents. I am very happy I came across this passage due to the fact that me and my spouse are getting even stronger.
Individuals from different types of environments have a difficult time understanding how other people live. This reading by Allison supports this statement. The author states: " My mom cooked on a two-burner stove to save us the cost if eating out, our greatest treat was take-out food"(116). This flashback shows how Allison struggled growing up. She remembers how they had to save money and make ends meet. Unlike her lover who was accustom to going out to eat. The author also gives an example, stating: My lover was a Yankee from a good family, who had spent the summers of her childhood on the jersey shore"(117). In this statement, it shows how her lover was raised different from her and how she could not relate to the things she did growing up. This made her fear what her lover would see on her face once she spent time with her relatives.
