Problem Parents and Abject Young Adults in Fleischman's Breakout and Klause'sBlood and Chocolate

Abstract

This study explores the improper parenting on the invitation of young adult abjection in Paul Fleischman’s Breakout and Annette Curtis Klause’s Blood and Chocolate. Young adult characters change the old rules.However, they have to suffer for the innovative world without proper parental guidance. Parents misjudgements mislead to their young adult daughters and sons. Both novels examine the characteristics of young adults unfit behaviorsagainst the established social rules. Young adultsincessantlysearch for their own suitable norms and values. Psychological impacts they form from adults’ misbehaves. The actions are on violent-neglectful nature that based on Julia Kristeva’s theory of abjection and Karean Koats’ analysis of abjection. Psychologists Lacan, Freud, Psychoanalysts Zimbardo, Vogel’s perspectives of young adults’ abjection are discussed in this research work. Young adults are driven by emotion of anger, love, enemy for their decisions create abjection. The major argument of my thesis is young adults are neglected by parents that makes them rebellious on the breaking rules of society create self-abjection for themselves. Parents, elders, adults are needed to provide them right suggestion in right time for the approval of their powerful physical and mental ability for the right purpose.
