I never had a chance to meet him, I always wonder what he looked like, I have never seen a picture of him, not grown anyways. There are some picture of him when he was younger but that’s it. I wish I could have had a chance to meet him and talk to him. His absence from my life really affected me. I never had a father figure and being a young boy at the reservation I really needed his advice.
He started taking shots at my self-esteem by saying that no one else would want to be with me because of x,y,z. C.) I would be lying to you if I said that during this time of my life I didn't fight back. I was constantly fighting back with all of the mistakes he had made and how they way things were now was all his fault. I tried hard to make sure that he felt guilty about what he had done and how it made me feel and I blamed him for our break up. I remember one night when we were fighting he told me I was a stupid bitch, I fired back with whatever name came to mind at that moment.
She was very rude to him and would not even speak to him. It was not until Derek finally cracked and had told his mother that Morso was the only reason he was still alive and he was the one person that was always there for him and he was like family to Derek, that she realised there was nothing bad about Morso. The thing that made it the hardest was when his mother sent them to school almost as soon as they had returned. They were not ready for school or anything like that, it was even hard for them to try and socialise with new people. Derek and Morso’s lives had been so unstructed, that the common school setting was not appropriate for them.
Patten learned at school that ‘one and one made two’. This metaphor is referring to love and how one person and another come together to make two. But at home it was a completely different story; Patten had parents who fought and didn’t take much interest in him, Patten’s home life ‘stung more than any teachers cane’ which shows the extent of how painful love came across to him. In his home life he learned that ‘one and one stayed one and one’. His parents actions when he was young left him with the idea that love and relationships are horrible and all it does is hurt us, he felt as if it’s not worth going through the pain and stress.
I do not have any close friends any longer. In college, I had a few friends, but never really got to the point of “closeness” with them. I always felt that they would never accept me for me, especially if they knew that I came from a poor family and had a father that was serving a life sentence for beating my mother. Finding this out, I am sure that they would just assume that I was just as horrible of a person. If I had to choose one person that I am closest to, it would be my mother.
When she is caught by her husband, Hugh, she is told “If you give a nigger an inch, he’ll take an ell”, as if to discourage her actions. Of course, in the long run, those words did discourage Sophia’s attempts at educating Frederick, and her entire personality and attitude toward Frederick changed. She became meaner, more brutal, and just overall indecent toward Frederick. The power that her husband encouraged her to possess took away the only kindness Frederick had ever encountered. Frederick never let the discouragement from Hugh or the sudden rise of power from Sophia change his outlook; he instead taught himself how to read.
His first downfall was not being able to have a child. He tried his hardest to be able to do so yet luck wasn’t on his side. As any man can say, being remembered as the guy who can’t get his own wife pregnant isn’t a good way to leave this earth. Regardless to the sorrow I feel towards him, I still believe he deserved worse. Despite him being the big disgrace of the town the years which he made girls suffer wasn’t enough.
Poor John has never met his dad. His mom sometimes calls him “the fling”. I feel really bad for john because there’s nothing more that he wants then to meet his father. John would always vent to me how he wishes his mother would just tell him who his father is. He also felt as if his father was hiding from him but I’d often tell John “your dad can hide from you, but he can’t hide from God.” I felt bad for john at times, but he didn’t have to live as a dwarf his whole life.
I don't even know what to say it's just like everything I do is just wrong in this family and honestly no one even cares about me they only care about me when it's convenient for them and I just can't deal with it anymore I'm tired of not being wanted unless there's something in it for everybody else. Mike yells at me for no reason and everyone excludes me from the conversation and most of the time I just want to leave. Mom and mike only ask annie and Mia what's going on with them and how they're so happy for them and so proud and then they just let me sit there and yet don't ask me anything or say any of that to me. Then mike gives me attitude or yells at me when I don't do anything but his kids could murder someone in front of his face and he would say congrats like are you fucking kidding me ? !
Othello didn’t have it easy when it came to Desdemona; her father didn’t approve which in the end added to the struggle of their relationship. Othello basically had stolen away Desdemona from her father, and secretly married her, making an enemy of Brabantio and the hopes of his ever being accepting of their relationship no longer. What could be the cause of this jealous rage?
