Role of Parents in the Education "Enough"

As every single parent knows raising their children is their biggest challenge because loving our kids is not enough to make good parents and give a good education. Alice McDermott tells us a story about this girl receiving a quit strict education and which ended ineffective because she did the opposite of every things she was tell not to do, Alice McDermott the author was raised in New York so she is used to the big city life probably she tried to give her point of view about strict education. I think that parents should leave some freedom to their Childs so they can judge the line between the good and the bad. This story shows the life of this woman who has been raised in a very conservative family but who became very excessive and libertine in every little pleasures of life, there's a big contradiction here so that's why I'm asking myself how should we raise our beloved, if I got a baby one day should tell him (or her) not to certain things risking that later she will do it by rebellion or by spirit of contradiction?

To try to get some answers I'll first analyze the way the character of this story have been raised.

We talk about her excessive behavior but we don't emphasize enough the excessive education she recei


As a result we got those very responsible parents who maybe try to hard to give a good education which was more a pressure for the protagonist, for example during the meal girls had to follows a lot of rules "a lady takes a small spoonful" (31) or "A lady doesn't want to show her tongue at the dinner table" (35) all those restrictions looks very conservative and pressurizing for my generation, the story doesn't tell us at what time the action takes place but it shouldn't be so old because the author must refer herself to her own generation.

The result of this education is far from what the parents were expected as we see the protagonist growing up we see all her excessiveness growing up, and the two main points discussed in the story are the food (gluttony) and the sex (envy) they both are two of the seven deadly sins, and the protagonist is really in conflict with her hedonism against the moderation of her parents, there's so many examples we can take in this story like the way the author describes the way she is deleting herself enjoying the ice cream "she placed on the ...licked the spoon...long strokes of the tongue...the sticky tip of her nose" (37), also we see the same appetite when she became a grandmother "but take a look in your freezer after she's gone...Nea
