There are many ways in which two characters can overcome an internal barrier. The two characters in question are Marta Balcewicz from “The Summer of Bssz” and Alison Wisdom from “The Mothers in the Woods,” who struggle to overcome an internal barrier, with Marta striving to overcome trauma and Alison striving to overcome grief. Both characters struggle to overcome an internal barrier, but they go about it in different ways.
Marta Balcewicz is struggling with the internal barrier of guilt. She feels guilty for how she treated her mother before she died and is also struggling because she is unsure if she wants to have children (Marta-Balcewicz par 4). To overcome her guilt, Marta decides to return to her hometown and make amends with her mother’s ghost. She also starts to work on her relationship with her father and tries to connect with him deeper.
The protagonist in “The Mothers in the Woods” struggles with the internal barrier of grief. She is grieving the loss of her child and is also struggling because she is unsure if she wants to have another child. To overcome her grief, the protagonist decides to return to the woods where her child died (Alisonwisdom par 3). She also starts to work on her relationship with her husband and tries to connect with him deeper. Alison has been attending a support group for people who have lost a loved one. She has also been talking to a therapist and spending time with her friends and family.
Both characters are overcoming an internal barrier, but they are doing so in different ways. The character in “The Summer of BSSZ” is overcoming trauma, while the character in “The Mothers in the Woods” is striving to overcome grief. Both characters struggle with an internal barrier preventing them from moving on with their lives. They are both in therapy, and they are both working on accepting themselves for who they are.

The main difference between the two characters is that one can overcome its internal barrier while the other is not. The character in “The Summer of Biz” overcomes their trauma by talking about it and seeking help from others, while the character in “The Mothers in the Woods” cannot do so and instead tries to forget it.
How The Two Character Work to Overcome Trauma
There are a few key ways trauma can be overcome from a psychoanalytic perspective. One way is through working through, which involves gradually coming to terms with the traumatic event and its aftermath. This can be done through different means, such as therapy, writing, and art. Another way is through repression, when an individual pushes the trauma memories into their unconscious mind. This may provide temporary relief but can also lead to further problems.
Both Marta Balcewicz and Alison Wisdom use different methods to overcome their traumas. Marta Balcewicz uses the process of working through by writing about her experiences in a short story. She gradually comes to terms with what happened to her and can move on with her life. On the other hand, Alison Wisdom uses repression to cope with her trauma (Alisonwisdom par 7). She pushes the memories of the event down into her unconscious mind and tries to forget about them. This may give her some relief in the short term but could also lead to further problems.
How The Two Character Work to Overcome Grief and Immaturity

In the story “The Mothers in the Woods,” the protagonist Alison can overcome her grief and immaturity by better understanding her mother’s situation. She comes to realize that her mother is not a bad person and that she is just trying to protect her.
Another way that characters can overcome grief and immaturity is by developing a stronger sense of empathy. In the story “The Summer of BSSZ,” the protagonist Marta, can overcome her grief and immaturity by empathizing with her mother. She realizes that her mother is trying to protect her and that she is not a bad person. In the story “The Mothers in the Woods,” the protagonist Alison can overcome her grief and immaturity by empathizing with her mother (Marta-Balcewicz par 10). She realizes that her mother is just trying to protect her and that she is not a bad person. Both stories show that characters can overcome grief and immaturity by developing a stronger sense of self-awareness and empathy.

However, Alison is also trying to find her own identity and figure out what she wants in life. The secondary characters, settings, and social expectations all help to shape Alison’s journey.
Both stories explore how social expectations can affect the characters’ journeys.

Conscious or Unconscious Decision Helped Characters Work Towards a Freer Way of Life.
The two characters Marta Balcewicz from “The Summer of Biz” and the mother from “The Mother in the Woods” work towards a freer way of life, but they differ in how they go about it. Marta Balcewicz is a young woman trying to find her way in the world. She is working toward a freer way of life by leaving her home and exploring the world. She is making conscious decisions to leave her home and explore new places. These decisions help her to find a freer way of life. The mothers in “The Mother’s in the Woods” also work toward a freer way of life (Marta-Balcewicz par 19). They are doing this by leaving their homes and going into the woods. They make unconscious decisions to leave their homes and go into the woods. These decisions help them to find a freer way of life.
Marta Balcewicz is more of a free spirit. She is less concerned with the expectations of others and more concerned with living in the moment. This allows her to be more open to new experiences and to take risks. This approach leads to some setbacks but ultimately helps her to find a more authentic way of life. The mother from “The Mother in the Woods” is more guarded. She is worried about what others will think of her and her choices. This leads her to be more cautious and less open to new experiences. As a result, she feels trapped, and her journey to a freer way of life is more difficult.
The psychoanalytic perspective would say that the mothers in “The Mother’s in the Woods” make decisions based on their unconscious desires (Alisonwisdom par 17). They are leaving their homes and going into the woods because they are looking for something they cannot find in their everyday lives. They are looking for a way to escape their everyday life constraints. Marta Balcewicz, on the other hand, is making decisions based on her conscious desires. She is leaving her home and exploring the world because she wants to find something new and exciting. She is looking for a way to expand her horizons and find a new way of life.
