post 3

"My mother always made me feel like less than a person. She despised the fact that I received constant praise and she was worthy of none. Before I was born, she was the center and now I had taken her shine. We were in competition from the day I arrived"(Steffans 58).


--I like the way how the author, once again, helps her plot by talking about her past and life experiences. And this passage kind of ask my question in my other post. I think Karrine, the author, was a mistake baby and wasn't planned. I guess her mom had a child so young made her spotlight real short, and she see her child getting all the praise good make a person jealous.

Is the dad jealous too?
How will this situation play out in the long run?
