A Tree Grows in Brooklyn Response

Strength is a word that everyone in the world that we know it, has to use at some point in their lives. Everyone uses it in their every day lives, they just might not realize it. You have to have at least a bit of it to persevere when the times get tough. Strength is not just measure by the muscle in your body, but by the toughness of your soul.
Strength is something that Francie hasn't quite found out all about it yet. For example when the killer was coming out at her, she didn't have the strength to talk let alone move. She is going to find that strength on her way from innocence to experience. If she doesn't, it could be a tough going later in life when she really needs it.
She has the will to get that little bit of extra strength that she needs but right now, she needs a little help and a push to get her going. She has had to go through many tests of strength already like at school when she got sat in the back. She had to have the strength to get through those tough days. But again, she didn't have enough strength to stick with the school, and again, she needs that little extra push that Sissy gave her because she came in and she was the one who got her to sit in the front.
Francie is one of those persons that needs those people to help her through her struggles and when she is an adult and has children, she isn't going to have those people to help her through her struggles. She will not only have not as many people to help her through her struggles but she is going to have to help her childeren through their struggles.
She is going to have to go through some tough times to put her to the test before she moves all the way to experience because otherwise she might not be able to change her ways that she has been living through all of her years. She is going to have to have the strength to do things on her own that she might not normally do. She must prepare herself for not just the struggles that she has had, but the struggles to come.
