The author's purpose in writing "Growing Up" is to show how
it can be difficult and confusing to be a teenager. Maria struggles with many clashing and confusing emotions. For example, she gets very angry with her father and decides she is too old for family vacations. However, when her family leaves, the narrator says: "a bad feeling stirred within her. She felt terrible for arguing with her father" (Paragraph 29).
Maria worries about her family for the rest of their trip and imagines terrible things happening to them, like "her family's Malibu station wagon overturned" (Paragraph 44). But upon their safe return, "Maria looked at the ground, annoyed. How dare they have so much fun?" (Paragraph 66).
This roller coaster of emotions that the narrator describes Maria experiencing is a significant and difficult part of growing up. In summary, Maria's changing emotions and attitude towards her family is important to the theme of the story, as it conveys the confusion that comes with being a teenager and growing up.
