Recently I read the story “My Fathers Brain What Alzheimer’s Takes Away” by Jonathan Franzen in my English 101 course. In this story Jonathan Franzen speaks about his parent’s relationship before and after Alzheimer’s, how he viewed Alzheimer’s affecting their lives and his feelings towards his father’s death. Franzen also often illustrates his mothers struggle to deal with his father’s disease and the many emotions attached to it. He talks about how his father started to forget different things which eventually turned into forgetting many everyday things. Franzen explained that his father got lost in his own neighborhood in one instance and couldn’t remember his own children’s birthdays another.

We then find out when he carries onto mentions his father’s tombstone, so we know he is talking about death in his family. Charles Dickens makes us wonder about the death of his family and how it has left him. It makes him seem vulnerable and less secure without his parents.

In 1943, Clifford George of Stony Point came home to nothing, and after "sleeping in a ditch" (Ch. 2) for the night he found out the populace had been moved within a day to rival Kettle Point reserve, a short distance away, as the Government, under the War Measures Act, was creating the a military base there, but promised land back. The Stony Pointers refused the offers but the Canadian Government appropriated them.
