What are the similarities or connections that put these 2 pieces together?

*** Must be willing to read “The Doll’s House” by Katherine Mansfield AND “My Oedipus Complex” by Frank O’Connor**** I have them attached to this request.
The two short stories you are about to read explore childhood and the “coming of age” understanding that each child experiences. As you read the stories, consider your reaction and viewpoint. Use the following analytical questions to begin to think about the stories as a literary critic and prepare to write your essay:
1. The contemporary writer Anita Desai states, “Work is the business of adults, but play is often considered the business of children.” How is this statement demonstrated in the experiences of the children in these two stories?
2. What coming of age realities did the children experience?
3. What resolutions were derived as a result of these realities?
4. Was there a sense of societal or personal alienation demonstrated by any of the characters due to gender, poverty, or other situations?
Additional points to consider or hit on in the paper-
Male perspective and female perspective- how are they similar or different?
What is the driving theme that puts these 2 together- Childhood is the common theme.
What are the similarities or connections that put these 2 pieces together?
Children come into each piece thinking one thing or one way, but something happens in each one that changes their minds or a coming-of-age change
