The novel opens with two purposefully placed epigraphs. These epigraphs encourage the reader to read allegorically and inform them immediately that there is more to this story than a traditional fairy tale “what seems to be an untruth is really a hidden truth”. The opening chapter shows Becca as a young girl with her older sisters and Gemma telling them the story of Briar Rose. The next chapter then alternates the present, grown up Becca going with her sisters to visit the now, elderly sick Gemma. These alternating chapters and flashbacks provide small links and clues to events and information that Becca is unlocking in her current day quest.

Mattie really does not appreciate her mother or what she does for her.
She teaches her social etiquettes and decorum. Alongside practical advice, the mother also instructs her daughter on how to live a fulfilling life. She offers sympathy, such as when she talks about the relationships her daughter will one day have with men, warning that men and women sometimes “bully” each other. Often, however, the mother’s advice seems caustic and castigating, out of fear that her daughter is already well on her way to becoming a “slut”. She tells the girl, for instance, not to squat while playing marbles, not to sing any Antiguan folksongs in Sunday school, and to always walk like a lady.
While in her mother’s eyes, she only supported her daughter and craved the absolute best for her child. Schwind-Pawlak presents this argument poorly due to her change of heart towards the end of the essay. She does not stick to her beginning argument which causes the opposition to lack stability. The two authors support their arguments by providing evidence. The supporting evidence of the two essay’s help reveal the hardships teenagers face while dealing with their parents.
