There is also “The Sarge”, Mike Marsh, who helps Dave out get his life together as well as Dan did. This autobiography shows a missing part of Dave’s life. He speaks about what he went through in his youth and what he had to do to build up his self esteem and overcome all that he was put through by his mother and others who saw him as nothing.

First, one of the challenges Dave Pelzer faced in his youth was finally being taken out of his mother’s house and put into foster care.
My name Canice Dike, and this is my family tree of the Nwosu/Dike interjection. My birth began in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania , also known as the “City of Brotherly Love”. I had a tough life growing up because my mother went through trouble with my father. To be honest I was almost born in prison, but to be honest it was kind of a good thing. If I was born in a rich based area I would probably be a spoiled little kid and I thank god for being able to see through the struggles of one’s family and through the struggles of all this I think that it made me stronger and that I sympathize with the families that work super hard to make it in life.

They would only make the decisions for them “who could join up and who could not, where they could work, and when they could change jobs.” (Thecanadianencyclopedia) It was a tough life, but it was the only way to support their husbands when their off to war. Women working back home was great-replacing the men’s jobs, working for war industries, and raising their family. Even if the women didn’t sign up for the military, they worked hard in the Home front and tried to give us the best support we ever needed. Women worked really hard and made a great contribution in WWII that lead to an allied

English IV Ms. Duncan May 20, 2013 “Civil Peace” short story questions 1. The moral lesson promoted by Chinua Achebe in the short story “Civil Peace” is that working hard is something that needs to be done to succeed in times of doubt. Jonathan lost almost everything during the Civil War in his country, including the loss of one of his children. Although he had lost his belongings and a child he still looked at the situation as having “five inestimable blessings”. He made it out of the civil war with three out of his four children, his wife and the bike that he had buried, in hope that he would be able to find it.
My career goal is to become a radiographer which my dad first introduced to me and I found rather interesting, but my plan B is social work. My ambition to become a radiographer/social worker; this influences my learning in the sense that it gives me the wish to learn new things and improve my knowledge. I believe that if I did not have such a desire to be a radiographer/social worker, it would affect my learning by creating a mental blockage which would disallow my ability to take things in and learn; I would become lazy and uninterested from the lack of direction in my life as I did last year in A levels. As soon as I realized what I wanted to do as a career, it really shifted my priorities and I found that I have started to focus a lot more on my education and work hard. I have started paying more attention in classes than last year and im trying to produce good assignments which gain me the grades I desire.
There is a “piano” (Ibsen, 3), a “round table”(Ibsen, 3), and “leather bound books” (Ibsen, 3): everything in the room is functional. The Christmas tree that is delivered to Nora, and placed in the living room, symbolizes her decorative status; she adds a charm to the home and gives a pleasant reflection of light to people’s eyes. Nora mentions to her maid, “The children mustn’t see” the tree before she has “decorated it” (Ibsen, 4). These factors help the reader understand that Nora is putting on some type of a front or mask, and also foreshadows Nora refusing Torvald to see her before she puts on her party dress. The house itself aids in further development of characterization.
