How are they different? I found Ann Brash to be a very sympathetic character. She’s someone I want to see succeed because of the hard life and adversities she’s faced and overcome. She’s a survivor.

My father is an alcoholic, which is why I believe that he used violence towards my mother. I am not excusing his behavior, but I believe that if my father did not drink, things may have turned out differently for my family. As for myself, I have been deathly afraid of ever picking up a drink or drug. I believe that if I did, I would never be able to stop, and I would also fear of turning out like my father. 9.
