Adriana Covarrubias Ms. Villarreal Writing 110 April 13, 2011 First in the Family to go to College When I made the decision to attend college, aside from my grandparents and parents, most of my family had doubts about my being serious. I come from a strong Hispanic family with the best morals and hard-working, blue-collar ethics. The men in my family have provided for their families, and we have a big family.

This went on for around two weeks. The next Tuesday she finally asked me a question, “did we have homework?” she questioned me.

You’ll have nothing. You are nothing.”(40) Those were one Nana’s insulting words that Mariam recalled. Nana has said many rude, obnoxious words to Mariam and since Mariam remembered those of all the others that shows that those hurt her the most and Nana really got under
Eva wanted to end her life; she was not controlled or forced by anybody. She made her decisions but did not know whether they were right or wrong. I do not think anybody specific should be blamed, although all the characters in a way created a scene which changed her
Kathy was being a selfish wife because she did not want to listen to, nor talk about John’s issues, and instead she chooses to ignore them. In a relationship, mutual communication is essential between the individual and his or her spouse. According to an article on Psych Central entitled Marriage Communication by Erika Krull, “The whole point of communicating is to be clearly understood. To do that, your channel of communication must go two ways” with your significant other. In Kathy and John’s case, John was trying to communicate with Kathy about an important subject and Kathy is too wrapped up in herself, leaving John with no one to talk to.
One would say that Lennie didn’t have to kill her, but then again, Lennie did not understand the situation or what was happening. One would also say that he did not have to take things that far but all he wanted to do was make her stop yelling at him. “Now don’t, I don’t want you to yell. You gonna get me in trouble,” is what he told her because all he wanted was for her to stay quiet (Steinbeck 91). He didn’t mean to kill her, but since Lennie does not understand certain things, he also does not know his own strength.
I suffered some serious health issues that kept me off work for a while and ultimately led to the loss of a job. Vivian had graduated high school and wanted to start college in Texas as well. Elizabeth and Joe made the ultimate sacrifice and opened their home to us until I could get back on my feet. Now we were on our way home and to meet our beautiful Emily Jane.

My family’s narrative, unfortunately, is limited to my father’s side. My mother’s parents passed over a decade ago, and currently, contact with her side of the family is quite limited. I spoke at length with my one remaining grandparent, my grandmother Carol, on her family’s journey from Cape Cod, Massachusetts to New York City and eventually, Long Island where she herself started her own family. My grandmother is still quite young, relatively, at age 75, and she was ecstatic when discussing her family’s history; something that I hadn’t spoken to her at great length about before. Considered the “matriarch” of my family, my grandmother defied societal expectations and broke many gender boundaries as a young woman.
