all three of these stories have different points that they make about generational differences. In "Girl" it is just a bunch of rules that a girl or woman must follow in her every day life. Many of these rules are jobs that many woman still do now days but at the same time you can obviously tell that this is from the past even if it is a not so distant one.
In "Gorilla, My Love" I side with the children or the younger generation because this story shows how the older generations seldom give younger generations respect. I believe that this is one of the main cuases of generational disputes and is often overlooked and just passed off as a young person having no respect for his or her elders and is trying to be rebellious which alot of times just isnt true.
"Everyday Use" did a great job of showing disputes between siblings of the same generation and how 2 siblings growing up in the same household with the same parents and grandparents can come to have such different views about their family. This is true in alot of families especially in the United States where the family is often put in second place behind jobs and work or school and popularity.
