She was happy. I was a disappointment to my mother as far as reading went. It wasn’t that I couldn’t read it was that I never wanted to, and compared to my sibling who read every day, I was a letdown. It might not have been such a dilemma to any other parent, but to my mom who’d taught and encouraged kids to read for many years, it certainly was. It wasn’t until I started first grade that I finally started to appreciate some of my mother’s hard work.
She goes further to describe the supermarkets interior with lights shining down on aisles of canned goods and boxes of food that are stacked upon shelves. Cao expresses how the mother has difficulty adjusting to food already processed and packaged. She uses the mother to then reflect on the outdoor markets in Saigon, Vietnam.

Fanny Cradock Phyllis Nan Sortain Pechey (26 February 1909 – 27 December 1994), better known as Fanny Cradock, was an English restaurant critic, television cook and writer frequently appearing on television, at cookery demonstrations and in print with Major Johnnie Cradock who played the part of a slightly bumbling husband. Fanny Cradock came to the attention of the public in the dowdy post-war years of the 1950s, championing the aspiring housewife, and an exotic approach to cooking. She famously worked in various ball-gowns without the customary cook’s apron, averring that women should feel cooking was easy and enjoyable, rather than messy and intimidating. In her early anonymous role as a food critic, working with Major Cradock under the name of ‘Bon Viveur’,Fanny introduced the public to unusual dishes from France and Italy, popularising the pizza in England.She is also credited as the originator of the Prawn Cocktail. She and Johnny worked together on a touring cookery show, sponsored by the Gas Council, to show how gas could be used easily in the kitchen, and as their fame increased, Fanny’s shows transferred to television, where she enjoyed 20 years of success.
In Truth and Beauty chapters two and three Patchett develops the character of Lucy further through the use of figurative language. Patchett uses an Aesop’s fable of the tortoise and the hare, the grasshopper and the ant, as a metaphor to describe the relationship between Lucy and Ann. “Grasshoppers and hares find the ants and tortoises. They need us to survive, but we need them as well. They were the ones who brought the truth and beauty to the party.” (20) This metaphor is important in both describing Lucy as a character as well as describing the bond between Lucy and Ann.

Identity Crisis: An In-depth Analysis of Hedvig Ekdal A shared goal for many individuals is to find their purpose in life. In this attempt to understand the reason why each of us has been placed here on earth, there is a secondary struggle, as Socrates said, to “know thyself.” In Ibsen’s The Wild Duck, multiple characters seek to find their true identity. However, there is one character that is quite content with having no identity at all. This character is Hedvig Ekdal, daughter of Hialmar and Gina. As a girl of fourteen who rarely leaves her house, Hedvig is satisfied staying with her parents for the rest of her life.
