He felt “ powerless” because there was nothing he could do about his mothers situation. Due to his mothers sickness he began to withdraw from other kids and he felt devastated. He watched his mother change everyday and go through stages of her depression.

Growing up I remember my grandfather passing away at the young age of 60, although he did not pass from Alzheimer's disease, he did battle with a chronic illness that left him debilitated. He was the love of my grandmother’s life and to see him struggle everyday was very difficult for her. Reading this poem to her brought back extremely powerful memories that she thought she buried away many many years
The book Phoenix Rising by Karen Hesse is one of the best books I have read in school. When I began reading it I did not understand the title, but as I read more I began to understand.

After five years of dwelling on his anger, Chris decides that he cannot stand human hypocrisy and disappears, attempting to teach his family a lesson as well. Billie McCandless As Chris’s mother, Billie is only briefly touched upon in the book by Krakauer, speaking on her relationship with Walt as a catalyst for Chris’s eventual rebellion.

By the end of 8th grade he was no longer attending school because he had fell to far behind. Tristan by 8th grade was completely enmeshed with his mother and she was now enabling him by making excuses for him about his father’s abandonment. Tristan’s father was unaware of everything because he was dealing with his alcoholic girlfriend at his house. Tristan’s mother believe he was acting out due to his father choosing his girlfriend over him. Madison also thought it was due to hormones and allowed the behavior to continue.
McCandless believes that his parents are fake. They really represent what Chris hates about society. One of the reasons he was so mad at them and despised them so much was that he had found that his dad had a wife before his mother. And that his dad had also had kids with that wife. He figures this out when visiting his old home in California.
This is represented when the narrator says “We remembered all the young men her father had driven away…” (704). If he would not have done this, Emily would have most likely had someone to care for her and her to care for. Instead, he died and left her alone to try to fend for herself without any experience of independence. Even after her father passed away, that “crayon portrait” still had a large role in her life, and the effects of his neglect were still being felt. His neglect is still being felt because he has her living in the past.
