mother raised her because it was a different time and a different world. She states ?my world is radically different from mother?s world, and all indications point to an even wider difference in our world from our children?s? (PG. 317). I thought that Houston worked well with the audience. I believe her voice was casual, and flowed, like in a conversation. At times in the essay I was able to tell when she wanted to get a point across because the tone, or voice, would get serious. I felt that the connection with the audience was comfortable as well. The essay?s clarity, I feel could have been refined. At times in the essay you see that the author contradicts herself. If you read in to the sections, you can see why she is doing that. The essay itself is a contradiction, so in

seeing contradictions you see what the author herself is going though. Even though the essay could have been a bit clearer, I feel that the contradictions were important to have and the essay was clear, all together. I believe that the author?s purpose in this essay was to show what it was like growing up in a traditional family and dealing with her peers. Maybe this essay was a form of ?venting out? old emotions. I think her authorization for writing this essay is verified. Do to her personal experiences she seems like she knows what she is writing about in this essay. Double Identity was a very well written essay. It truly gave me a sense of what the author was discussing. There are also many people that had to deal with the same kind of difficult decision making that the

author had to deal with. It?s interesting to see how she went about handling the decisions. The decisions were very important and definitely affected the rest of her life.
