Everyone’s philosophy of life is different when it comes to chores or anything in relationship to life. Jane Smiley’s life was not about chores, but doing things when she wanted to. How often can good come out of a kid that is being brought up with no responsibility. It sounds to me like Ms. Jane grows up having a good financial life around her family. Maybe they had a cleaning company come to the house and do the cleaning for them; maybe mom and grandma did the cleaning up after her messes, (Jane Smiley, 1995, pg.
I also think the play highlights the importance of families; especially fathers. We learn Edward has grown up in a safe, secure family; however his father is constantly away at work, so it is left to Mrs Lyons to look after Edward by herself. Mickey’s life is also similar, in the way that he never has a father figure around, however he does have a kind, loving mother, who would do anything for her children.

The deaths of her children, despite being tragic, only strengthen her further Elinor Mompellion also plays a major role in Anna’s transformation.

Iman Rashid The Terri Schiavo Case The Terry Schiavo case is the most widely known coma case. This case is about a woman name Theresa Marie Schiavo, who at the age of 26, collapsed into a coma, causing her brain to be deprived of oxygen for five minutes thus putting her into a persistent vegetative state for about 15 years ( meaning she had very little brain activity). The conflicts started when husband, Michael Schiavo wanted to remove her off life support, while her parents, Robert and Mary Schindler, argued to keep their daughter alive.

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.

However, when information is removed from textbooks, part of history is distorted. Due to this alteration of facts, the agony and despair felt by the victims of unimaginable and devastating acts would be forgotten.
