I read the non-fiction narrative essay “Girl” by Jane Maher which is about a story about a problem between her and her father and how this issue continued between them until his death. (Maher 1-3). The author story is very doleful since it is a realistic circumstance that Maher been through in her life, and it really impinged on me since I live far away from my family and any topic about parents affects me easily. I wished that the death wasn’t the end of the story, but that is not Maher’s choice, nor the reader’s! Death is the predestined destination for all creations in this entire world, whether they are satisfied or not.

The fact that Ruth was a Moabite is siginicante because she is not an Isralite and would have never been able to be a partaker of the covenant of Israel if she had not married into the family. Ruth is a partaker of the covenant through right of marriage. If she had not married into the family of Israel she would have never been in Bethlehaem. It took a lot of faith for Ruth to follower her mother in law back to her homeland. Ruth left everything that she knew to be with the woman that she loved and the God that she adopted as her own.
One example is how the Dunphy family helps their mother and wife, Sarah Dunphy provide a stop sign to a dangerous interaction in their community. With out the Dunphy families’ help getting signatures from the neighbor’s, Sarah would never be able to accomplish her task to the town hall and gain fifty signatures. This shows that with the communication and gathering of the Dunphy family, they can come together as one and accomplish something as a family. A second example that, “Modern Family” displays traits in which a family as all about, is when Michelle and Cameron were in an disagreement on an
And it’s the silence that kills us” (Breaking Clean 154). Blunt struggled through her childhood for her dad’s acceptance and love. I feel her relationship with her dad introduced her to the reality that as a woman in the west she was nothing more than a second-class citizen.

Another sentence ‘certainly I never had you as you still have me, Caroline.’ proved that the poet was conveying the message that her daughter never belonged to her instead, she belonged to her daughter. The question ‘why does a mother need a daughter?’ was powerful because indeed, there shouldn’t be a need for a daughter if the parents aren’t going to be the ones owning their own child. As shown in stanza two, ‘heart’s needle’ signifies the heart which is delicate, fragile, life and love and the needle, so small but painful. The pain is not just an ordinary pain, the pain that comes from the needle is piercingly sharp which causes great damage to the heart. Every time the child does something wrong, the mother feels the heartache.
Throughout my life, I have always felt as if I was hiding. Hiding from my peers, my educators, the public, and even my friends. The only way I felt free to be myself was with my family, but only if we were behind closed doors. As a Kurdish-American living in Bismarck, North Dakota, I felt that I did not belong, believing that I must refrain from showing my culture to the world. When anyone asked where I was from, I would shy away and answer “Bismarck” and when they pressed for my cultural background, my stomach would drop, worried that they would judge me.
