just be yourself!

1. (a) determine the author’s point of view.

in “just be yourself!” what is the relationship between the author and the
person she addresses?

(b) analyze conflicting viewpoints.
how does the author’s view of herself as an adult differ from the view she had
of herself when she was a teenager? cite evidence to illustrate the conflicting
viewpoints.

Explanation:

(a)

The response infers from the context of "Just Be Yourself!" that the author is reflecting on her past, so she's communicating with her teenage self.

(b)

Typical teen experiences involve conformity pressure. The adult author’s message of self - acceptance (from the title) conflicts with that, so we analyze this contrast and cite the title/reflective context as evidence.

Answer:

The author addresses her teen self (the relationship is between the author and her younger/teenage self).
