Response for "A Tree Grows in Brooklyn"

Innocence is the juncture that every human begins at. As iniquity threatens to obliterate our optimism to ensue our complete experience, it would be wise to resist its power. This action would hopefully direct us to the stage of experience. Everyone encounters trouble and evil on the road of innocence to experience, therefore we need to deal with this malevolence forcefully.

Experience is the phase at which every human desires to ascend. Francie, a character in the novel A Tree Grows in Brooklyn, was a normal teenager trying to make her way through life, while having many more obstacles than most teenagers today. For example, Francie came across many wicked people who tried to resist her from her full potential. She also ran into many co-workers who were quite rude to her, and all her bosses were unfair to her. Francie is the rose seed in the ground that is trying to grow up to become a full flower, yet struggling in a drought with many animals scavenging for left food. Not many teenagers find themselves in poverty with a father who drinks more than his share, then years later their father even dying of that addiction. Although Francie's circumstances are atypical nowadays, there are a minority of children who stumble on situations similar to hers. Deprival is one unfortunate concept that a fraction of the world faces always. For example, there are humans that don’t have a roof to put over their head, some people struggle to even see food weekly, and most of those people happen to fall under both categories. On the other hand, others have both of those vitalities, yet are abused daily, have drunk or dying parents, or have parents who just can't afford to get a job. Anyways, there many people in the world who live a lot less fortunate lives than others, yet we all have to attempt to proceed to the experience level.

The point to the story is a very important part to every reader, yet how the book was written is also a concept that is good to know. Betty Smith wrote this book differently than most other books read. Her style is like a NASCAR race, where the cars are going tremendously fast, then stopping for a pit stop, then repeating the cycle over and over until the end of the race. This unique style causes the reader to be trapped into the book, because when the slow sections arrive, they are soon whipped back in to the hurried segments, and feel sucked into the novel. Many readers enjoy this style because of this reason, yet occasional viewers believe this technique carries too many streaks of slow action, which causes their boredom to flare up. Many opinionated beliefs can emerge out of the reading of this interesting book, including mine. I believe that this book is a very unique and well written novel, and I enjoy the author’s style of writing. It is much different from others, which is a large reason of why I liked her writing so much.

Growing up is a term that many kids see as an eternity away. However, life can be deceivingly quicker than most expect. Therefore, evil needs to be rejected as soon as possible so we can focus on the good things on our way to maturity. All human beings need to defy all immortality on Earth, then as a result they can finally be successful on their journey to experience.
