The relationship between the mother/daughter, in "Girl", and father/son, in "Reunion", are very different. In what way are they different?
             They are different because in the "Girl", the mother is teaching her daughter the right way to live, the way to act. She is teaching her daughter morals, at a very young age. For example, the mother tells her daughter how to do laundry, " wash the white clothes on Monday and put them on the stone heap; wash the colored clothes on Tuesday and put them on the clothesline to dry."

For example, when they went to a newsstand to get a newspaper, his father started talking to the clerk in a very rude manner, "kind sir will you be good enough to favor me with one of your no good ten-cent afternoon papers?" The clerk didn't want to deal with him so he just turned away, but Charlie's father kept insisting on getting what...
