Alicia Who Sees Mice Analysis

In the chapter Alicia Who Sees Mice it talks about a girl whose mother has died and she has to take her mother's place. It also speaks about how Alicia studies at a university. I personally have seen movies and read stories about young girls with an absent mother or a mother who has passed away. In these stories it really digs deep and talks about how what the girl's situations are and how they feel. So by me reading these stories and watching these movies it kind of gave me a window into what they were feeling and their situations. Reading about this chapter really made me feel bad for the Alicia. I can't imagine taking over my mother's duties at a young age. In a way I also felt kind of proud of Alicia for still managing to study at a university;
