Authors note: This essay is going to be about a quote from the novel, “Rules of the Road.” The quote says, ”You have learned a great deal in your sixteen years.”The words from the main character Mrs. Gladstone to a young teenager Jenna who is another main character.
Have you been through a lot in your childhood? Well young Jenna in,"Rules of the Road" has. Her father is a drug attic that comes to her work half wasted. Her parents got divorced when she was young. In the story main character Mrs. Gladstone said to Jenna, “You have learned a great deal in your sixteen years.”Jenna has jumped over so many obstacles in her life at such a young age, which made her mature faster.
In addition to that statement is the reason she is more mature then most kids is she had her parents get divorced at a young age and her dad is a druggie who lives in different girls houses. How she is mature is because she has been through a lot so she knows life is not a fairy tale very early in life. Also Jenna unlike most teenagers practically works full time as a shoe salesman. Jenna is way more mature and ready for the work world unlike other people her age who are semi clueless when knowing what they want to do with their life, and knowing mommy and daddy can’t pay for everything.
In conclusion I think kids who have bad experiences when their younger need to learn how to get through them which I think makes them a lot more mature. Most kids are stuck in the fantasy land where everything is perfect, but in reality life is defiantly not a fairytale, it is a story of battles and love and war, and in the end you may or may not end up ok. Which leads me to think Mrs. Gladstone notices Jenna growing up because she has seen her drunk father and she knows what to do when it comes to family. Overall Jenna from Rules of the Road has had a lot challenges that have made her more mature at an early age.
