Love is important in a family

Based on the novel step by wicked step by Anne Fine that i have studied, I have learnt that Love is important in a family. Love is needed to bring a family together in a few stories. For example, Claudia, unable to stand the treatment Stella was getting, made a grand appearance at the party and thanked Stella for the beautiful pyjamas she had brought for her. Finally, everyone started noticing Stella. As for Claudia and Stella, this was the starting point.Stella would teach Claudia how to quilt, read maps, change electric plugs and how to skate. This shows that love was important to bring Claudia and her stepmother together despite their differences.
In Robbo’s story, Robbo’s parents broke off when he was six. Whenever his dad visits them, the adults end up in arguments. Finally, his dad stopped his visits. Robbo and Callie had to visit his house which was cold and horrible. Callie hated her stepfather Roy whom she called the Beard. He started to interfere with a lot of things. However, unlike Richard who ran away from his family, Callie tried something different in order to make things work at home. Ralph also mentioned that everyone in their group had tried their best to solve their family problems. Out of love for her family, she did not want anymore family problems and decided to work things out.

Lastly, Pixie’s Dad promised her that she would have a own room but Hetty and Sophie had a terrible quarrel and was decided that Hetty moves out of her sister’s room into Pixie’s room.  Pixie hated Hetty and her habbits. Often, Pixie would tell Hetty Ghost stories so thtat Hetty would get out of her room.  Next, Pixie tried the silent treatment to get Hetty out of her room. Pixie had expected Hetty to go back to Sophie’s room but Hetty went to her mother and told her what was going on. Lucy, her stepmother came to her room and talked to her. They argued  but in the end , each one of them poured their hearts out.  They let their feelings out and hugged each other. Love indeed brought pixie, her stepsisters and her stepmother together.
