Like Daughter

I need an analysis of the story "like daughter". I do not need the story summarized just a passage from the story analyzed. 

I want you to analyze/close read the chosen passage. I want you to articulate not only WHY you chose this passage and what about it stood out to you, but what this passage means (e.g., in terms of characterization, plot, theme, foreshadowing, etc).
Think about your response paper as your reading between the lines of your chosen passage; what is being said that's not actually being said in the text? What is the subtext behind the author's writing?
