Burroughs: The Adopted Family

158 Words1 Pages
To help Augusten Burroughs in his dilemma, stability could help Burroughs live a normal teenage life, without struggling and dealing with unstable parents. For example, while Burroughs is staying at his new adopted family, the Finches, in a simile, he declares, “I felt like a trapped animal” (120). Obviously, Burroughs was not a trapped animal, because his adopted family, The Finches, allowed Burroughs to do anything he wanted to do, like not attending school. Burroughs felt trapped, because he was not happy and did not know what to do with himself and his new profound life. Stability could help Burroughs figure out what he wanted in life and help him not be confused with switching back and forth of the houses of his mother and new family.
