Hale: I have observed and understood more about human nature during the time I was in Salem, which motivated me to preach to my village and enhance the purity that I failed to do here. My wife was glad that I experienced such obstructions; it gave more significance to the preaching’s I
Sometimes people use their determination for selfish gain. Determination can be both positive and negative but it is need to make it in life. You have to be careful not to let it become negative. Throughout life things can and will change but you have to be determined not to give up. Determination is fighting; when you are down.
‘“You can’t just live like this”, I said. “Why not?” Mom said. “Being homeless is an adventure”.’ Even though Walls knows her parents made the decisions that led them to where they are today, she feels unhappy for them. Walls began to realize that her parent’s decisions weren’t the best for her family, and she began to have mixed feelings for what she needed to do. ‘“Mom, you have to leave Dad”, I said’.
Sometimes people in these groups tend to be isolated with limited social networks and low self esteem. As a result, they may become dependent on their abusers, or potential abusers for help and services. People being abused often see it as their fault and that there’s nothing that they can do about it so they keep quiet and just put up with it. For example, Mary is 35 years old and has mild learning difficulties, she lives alone but she has a carer that comes to visit her 3 times a day. Her carer often comes round and is nasty to her, pushes her and calls her names.
There are many other people who are in the same situation and struggling to survive. I don’t think that unemployment benefits should be a lifelong crutch; however there needs to be a change to assist. People who have been diligently looking for jobs, going on interviews and settling for lower incomes are losing their homes, vehicles, services and self-dignity. There needs to be something formed to protect them and rehabilitate them. My mother now lives and depends on me not because she desires to but she has no other choice; this is not fair.
Everything that Miss Moore put the kids through was to teach them a lesson and I feel like my parents did the same for me; they taught me a lesson to show me that life is not perfect and I do not get everything I want. Lucky for me, once I got out into the real world it was not shocking to me that everything did not go the way I wanted it to be. On the other hand Marissa had everything when she was younger, but once she got out into the real world it would be hard for her to accept life’s obstacles. Buying one’s way to happiness will never work and even though I still do not have everything I am happier than I ever
They soon believe there is no such thing as normal because of what they have been through and what they have learned about one another. All the hardships of growing up and experimenting with different styles and ways to do things along with a dysfunctional family it’s easier to do it with a friend by your side. We let life pass us by without seeing those around us and the way we
I’ve ran across it in real life and noticed it, and it wasn’t something I liked seeing I felt like the parents are stupid if they can change how their child is being raised and where but they chose not to move them. Anderson also speaks on how respect is such a powerfully loose used word in the code of the streets. When Anderson furthers his essay he makes distinction of the different types of families in the streets. The first is “decent”; he spoke on this with the intent of expressing the families that does everything in their power to make sure but their parents work hard and are willing to sacrifice for their children just so they will have, more classified as the working poor. Those who try to excel and go above and beyond usually deals with a lot while doing so, so thus for most people just work extremely hard to stay where they are now.
It also helped me grow as a person it taught me how to be more responsible and how to take control of a situation. I mean let me tell you in the beginning it was the hardest thing to get them to listen to me because they looked at me as another student not as there teacher. They never respected me and were always acting out of line. I slowly got better though they began to get use to me and the fact that they had to listen to me and I also began to listen to them instead of getting made I tried to listen. By the end of the year we had all gotten use to the situation and were sad to see the school year
After that, my mother who was always so harsh about education and coming on top changed her point of view. Instead of saying "Study, try harder." She started saying "What am I going to do with the certificates if you are gone?" This started to make me lazy. I was really attracted to this easy life and didn't think about future much.
