Welty said, “Neither of my parents had come from homes that could afford to buy many books, but though it must have been something of a strain on his salary, as the youngest officer in a young insurance company, my father was all the while carefully selecting and ordering away for what he and Mother though we children should grow up with.”(Welty, 391) I remember my father giving me his old Hardy Boys books when I was about eight years old. His words are still in my head,“These were my favorite books as a kid and I want you to enjoy them as I did when I was seven. These books kept me out of trouble,” he laughed. At first I was not really into the Hardy Boys, but since my father loved them I wanted to enjoy them like he did. “My father loved books, and since I loved my father with an aching devotion, I decided to love books as well.”(Alexie, 397) Parents want their children to succeed in life and they know without literacy the world would be a tough place.

Billie hated his stepfather and dedicated a song to him called "Why do you want him?". It was his first song, he wrote it his self, when he was 14 years old I think, that it is a amazing fact, because not every 14 year old can write good music.

Garrett Pomponio Professor Morris English 101 24 September 2013 There Ain’t No Party Like a Hospital Party In any calendar of mine, the 4th of July has long been the most important day of the year, especially as a 9 year-old-boy. I would sleep as late as my parents would let me because I didn’t want to have to wait too long to see the fireworks. So, when I woke up that day, the only thing I was worried about was going to the riverfront with my mom, seeing the fireworks and riding home in my dads pick up truck. I may have been excited for a funnel cake or the glow sticks or something petty of that nature. However, one thing is absolutely certain, the complete and absolutely devastating change of my life was not anticipated.
Simply he was a care-free and self indulged man who didn’t care about anything in the world but himself. But this slowly changed as the relationship deepened and lead to Will going up on stage to sing with Marcus. This film is about two boys; Will and Marcus. Will is a 38 year old ‘boy’ who has everything he wants, acts like a kid and lives a life of luxury whereas Marcus is an actual boy in terms of age, he is 12 years old, but he is a little socially inept and awkward, not fitting very well at school. Will going up on stage to sing with Marcus surprised me because before the whole relationship between Marcus and Will happened, Will used to care about nothing, absolutely nothing but himself.
He was the most important person that led Emily’s behavior and made her act the way she did. Even when her father had died, Emily was still under his control. Because of the pressure that Emily’s father put on her, Emily’s mind and even her actions became very strange and altered. Emily’s father not only controlled her actions and how she felt about things, but he also affected her love and relationships with other men. Her father had said, “None of the young men were quite good enough for Miss Emily and such.” (364) Her father never allowed her to make her own decisions even when she was almost 30 years old.
