The Relationship Between the Mother/Daughter, in "Girl"
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.
