Death is the predestined destination for all creations in this entire world, whether they are satisfied or not. I liked the part when Maher is writing about her father and added, “that does not mean that he did not love them or care for them” (Maher 1). I respect the person when respects others and appear that, and writing a sentence such as the previous one, shows a great estimation for her father. On the other hand, I wondered why Maher did not have a discussion with her father about this word! Her father has an opinion behind calling her: girl and she have another opinion since this word angered her.
I believe John had a genuine concern and love toward his wife but not wise in his treatments of her mental health. He missed the mark in his Isolation treatments toward his wife mental condition. As the Author cites “John does not know how much I really suffer, he knows there is no reason to suffer, and that satisfies him”. Moreover, John tried very hard to make his wife comfortable at the house even having his sister help, although she didn’t like it. “There comes John's sister.
She got a secretary job at a publishing firm and “had to send out rejection letters to prospective authors.” (Imbornoni 1) b. Rowling also had tried many novels, but never finished any until she wrote Harry Potter B. J.K Rowling’s life had plenty of influences on her and her writing 1. Her family had a big impact on her writing a. She and her father never had a good relationship, which influenced the great father figures for Harry in her books (J.K Rowling Wikia 2) b. However, Rowling had a great relationship with her mother. After Rowling’s mother died, she [Rowling] was affected very much.
The same house, different homes, where the choices were made.” Lochhead is now making the point that because of the lifestyles and the attitudes of Mary and her parents, they made different decisions which subsequently affected their lives even although from the outside the houses are the same and so similar. The reader learns more in the next part of the poem about Mary’s father as the poet gives more clues to explain why the girls’ lives develop in different ways. “… Mary’s father, mufflered, contrasting strangely with the elegant greyhounds by his side. He didn’t believe in high school education, especially for girls, or in forking out for uniforms.” In this stanza Lochhead is making the point that Mary’s father obviously cares more about his greyhounds and making them look good. When the poet says “forking out for uniforms” the
The first poem that jumped out at me was Silence by Marianne Moore. The poem starts out with the author referencing her father’s saying. ‘Superior people never make long visits “It took me back to growing up as a child and being raised by my grandmother and her saying “stay in your own backyard”. I really connect to this poem because like the father I rather enjoy solitude and when it is time to talk I really feel awkward. Perhaps the father was not only untrusting of people as my grandmother was, but also deep down a shy person.
He snarled. He dispised the trivialization of higher education…”(Pg.522) His parents lack of understanding caused frustration in Rodriguez at first, but throughout the story, he found himself becoming more and more like them. “I thought as I watched my mother one night… I gestured and laughed like my mother. Another time I saw for myself: my father’s eyes were much like my own, constantly watchful.”(pg531) This realization was a revelation for Rodriguez; all this time throughout his schooling career, he had thought he was so different from his parents, him being an Americanized “scholarship boy” and them being working class immigrants, but he had learned a lot from them, and his realization of their differences, combined with his education is what ultimately drove his
Nora behaves childishly and he enjoys treating her like a child to be instructed and indulged. Soon an old friend of Nora's, Christine Linde, arrives. She is a childless widow who is moving back to the city. Her husband left her no money, so she has tried different kinds of work, and now hopes to find some work that is not too strenuous. Nora confides to Christine that she once secretly borrowed money from a disgraced lawyer, Nils Krogstad, to save Torvald's life when he was very ill, but she has not told him in order to protect his pride.
Her brother even used “Joan’s husband” as a character emotionally separated from her family to describe her husband, reinforcing the cleft between two families. “My husband likes my family but is uneasy in their house, because once there I fall into their ways, which are difficult, oblique, deliberately inarticulate, not my husband’s way”(Didion 1) shows not only her own experience of family segmentation, but also reflects the current situation
Finally it will describe how these obstacles help us discover our true selves. In Cisneros essay, she describes her conflict with her desire to be a writer and her father’s expectations of her. Cisneros states, “Being only a daughter for my father meant my destiny would lead me to become someone’s wife” (Cisneros 1). This expectation only pushed Cisneros further into her passion, hoping that one day her writing would win her father’s approval. After attending four years of college and two years of graduate school, she still felt her father viewed her education as a waste because she had not married.
In the text we are provided with many feelings, for instance the relationship between the narrator and his mother Kay. The narrator doesn’t like his mother, he think all she says, and has told him is probably bullshit. The conversations between them is awkward, and the narrator think she forces herself, to bright up her voice, and ask about his life, like she forces herself to be a reasonable parent, and the Narrator reply with simple and brief sentences. It’s not only the narrator who hate his mother, it also seems like the mother doesn’t care about him. For instance, she is looking forward to the moment when the narrator can be fending for himself, and when she realize its Saturday she quickly tells him he can’t be in the house because Dan is coming.
