In many families there are conflicts or disagreements. Daisy Fae had a conflict with her family over Jay Gatsby. Daisy loved him, but her family didn’t want her seeing him again because they didn’t approve of him. It quotes on page 73 ‘She was eventually prevented, but she wasn’t on speaking terms with her family for several weeks’.

To make her point clear she uses a lot of pathos and a lot of examples from experiences with herself and her two daughters, Louisa and Sofia.

Also she uses loghos: ”In one study of 50 Western American mothers and 48 Chinese immigrant mothers, almost 70 % of the Western mothers said either that ”stressing academic success is not good for children” or that ”parents need to foster the idea that learning is fun”. By contrast,

It reminds me of Diary of Anne Frank.
