Ever since Zenzele was a kid, she would debate with her mother about many things, much of the time about their culture and other times about the world around her. She had always been looking for answers, wanting to explore and understand everything she could. Even her mother had a hard time keeping up with her in a conversation. She said, “In your company, I often feel blind, groping for firm objects, hesitant lest I collide with some obstacle I cannot characterize, let alone surmount” (Maraire 4).

For example, in this passage we understand that Norah is struggling with the grief of her lost daughter and doesn't want to let go of her memory, "Phoebe she would keep alive in her heart." (88) It helps us understand the reasoning behind her actions of drunk driving, dreams of lost things, and escalated emotion at random as well as other actions the character demonstrates through out the novel. The deception of her daughter effects Norah and explains why she bought the camera,"...So he'd capture every moment, so he'd never forget. "(88) Norah doesn't want her husband, sister and not even neighbours to dismiss her daughter as unimportant.

Sommers is trying to teach her daughters that there is more out there and that they can be optimistic, despite what may be going on in our lives. I agree with the writer because I believe that as long as you have life there is hope. Sommers wanted to teach her daughter that they can use their mother and grandparents as examples to better themselves and learn from it all. “To learn a personal eloquence I could never learn at home”. The writer was not able to learn how to speak articulacy because she had inherited a language from her parents.
She began to shut herself from her husband and most importantly, her son. The mother-son relationship has clearly died off. The lack of communication between Beth and Conrad affected Conrad in many ways. Beth’s cold attitude towards Conrad leads to his anger and how he wants to be left alone from everyone, including his father. Beth shuts out Cal from showing her real emotions on her favorite son’s accidental death, and lack of communication with Conrad brings the Jarrett family into an interpersonally distant family.
Frank, in a negative way. It must be remembered, however, that Anne, the rebellious adolescent, sees her mother as an irritating figure of authority, and Mrs. Frank must surely resent Anne’s rejection of her. Additionally, Mrs. Frank is particularly miserable in the annex, where they hide, for she is from rich family, where she knew the finest things in life and never had to work. As a result, the confining, cramped quarters of annex, the scarcity of basic necessities, and the work are real irritations to her. She often takes out her frustration on her chattering, sometimes irritating, younger daughter, Anne.

Maria is a single parent, and Erikson may see this as failure in relationships, which results in isolation and loneliness. Maria is affected by work and home life, causing her behaviour towards colleagues and her children to be sharp and snappy most of the time. This is because she is mentally and physically exhausted and drained where she never gives herself a break.
Lily is raised in a tangled web of lies only to discover all the answers by running away from home, not only does this event resolved her and her father’s broken relationship; but she is also given the opportunity to mature around supportive women she needed all along. When she arrives at August’s house and realizes that it holds a connection to her mother, August explains to her that she understands why she came… but that she also thinks she will eventually want to return to her father’s home. “I know you've run away - everybody gets the urge to do that some time - but sooner or later you'll want to go home.” (Kidd 79). When her father finds where she had run off to, he finally provides Lily with the answer and truth she had always wanted to know but never wanted to hear. “The truth is your mother ran off and left you.” (Kidd 276).
A lot of hateful words were said amongst the two of us, some words I just recently forgiven her for. My mother was diagnosed with bipolar disorder years ago. She refuses to get treatment. As you can imagine, living with a bipolar person can be extremely difficult. While growing up, I felt confused, lonely and hated by my mother.
