The short story of Eveline is about a young 19 years old girl that is unable to act. She would escape with her lover, she is looking for real love but the situation around her is like a paralysis. "Un mondo che abbiamo costruito noi" is the title of an argumentative text taken from the newspaper "Il Messaggero". It is the answer of another text that deals with the problem of prostitution and the decay of the society in particular about young girls. The journalist's answer explains that "good girls" are still the same like earlier. Teenager simply follows examples given by adults. If parents' education do not work in the right way teenagers will follow example given by the medias. Adults have to look themselves in order to improve the future's society.


The two texts in common have the need and search to escape. Both would like to escape from the limbo imposed by their age and social condition at last to find themselves. In addition both thesis are about the inability to take a personal decision. Teenagers copy adults because it is the easiest way to reach something.
