Analyse af 'The Sin Bin or Lucy's Heart'

The main theme of this story is ‘Growing up’ and when I think of the word growing up I am thinking of parents of the childhood and how once economy has effect in the days of our lives – especially in the childhood. How you grow up and how you’ve been raised is a big part of your life. It’s how you become as a person. Mostly the children become as their parents. Nowadays it’s not like children must be as their parents and have the same job and promotion as their father for example, now you can choose by yourself. Now it’s okay to think by your own and have another opinion than your parents. But those choices we make in our lives by our self are mostly in the beginning as a teenager – that’s where you are ‘grown up’. It’s all about finding your identity. But not only parents have effect in the way you are. When you grow up, you learn by mistakes. You get friends and have to see if you can survive out in ‘the real world’. That’s how things changes and by the time you get older you also get smarter. Even bullying makes you stronger in the end. Friendship is very necessary in your childhood; if you don’t know how to connect with other people, then I think that the world wouldn’t have any meaning to be living in. But the main theme in this story isn’t just growing up; it’s also friendship, identity and teenage life. It all connects.
