3. how did becoming a writer kingsolver solve her fashion problem?

Explanation:

What does she want to wear as an adult?

What she like personally, not what was trending; oversized flannel shirts, jeans or cotton leggings, cowboy boots, dresses that make contact with the body only at shiatsu acupressure points, Panama hats, and sneakers.

Basically, she wants to wear what makes her happy.

What concerns does she have about her daughter?

If her daughter will beg to be a slave of conventional fashion

Do you agree with any of the author's thoughts about fashion?

I do; fashion is all about you and what you feel comfortable wearing and what you like. The fashion of wearing what is trendy is not fashion to be following.

How would you describe the author of this essay?

(Think about: her attitude toward fashion now, the distinction between fashion and style, what she hopes her daughter will learn, & her writing style)

The author of this essay was very true to herself. As a child, she was "a slave of conventional fashion" but as she aged, she realized that fashion is not everything and that you should wear what you personally love, not what someone else personally loves.

Why do you think the author was so concerned about fashion in the 5th grade?She wanted to fit in.

Do you think the author's daughter will benefit from the experiences of her mother? Support your opinion.

No because even though her mother has gone through all of this, her daughter is going to want to (at some point) fit in with the fashion trends. The author herself says "I have a feeling the day might come when my daughter will beg to be a slave of conventional fashion." (pg 240) meaning she knows there will be a day when her daughter will be in the same situation as her.

One critic has said that Kingsolver helps us "find instructions for life in surprising places." To what extent is this true of "Life Without Go-Go Boots"? Explain your answer.he author in "Life Without Go-Go Boots" shares her experience of her fashion life. As a teen, she struggled to fit in with her clothing, and as an adult she realized that fitting in is not everything. Her essay addresses how she overcame her struggle and desire to fit in. Her realizing fashion is not everything is the instructions for life; when you realize what really is valuable in life, you will practice/pay more attention to it.

And it is true: you will find instructions for life in surprising places. The author's instructions for life came from and 8th grade girls closet.

I think the critics statement is completely true

Kingsolver believes that school is "two parts ABCs to fifty parts Where Do I Stand in the Great Pecking Order of Humankind?" How does this view compare with your experiences in school?Personally, I have noticed myself caring more about what I will wear the next day over if I will get my homework done. Everyone is trying to fit in so many prioritize keeping up with fad styles over their education.
