“One Sunday Connie for up at eleven – none of them bothered with church. . .” (Oates 586). Some critics believe that this could be the ultimate cause of her downfall. “The fact that Connie’s interaction with Friend occurs on a Sunday but ‘none of [the family] bothered with church’ leaves her vulnerable and suggests that religion could .
I literally didn't even know things like that existed till I got to intermediate school. So much of my personality and ethics come from my parents. One of the most important things I think my parents did was to not force religion into my life. Moreover, they did not equate being a moral person with being a religious one. This way, when my religion began to wane at times I never once felt like that meant I could just be a bad person.
The strangest part of all of that is this: before the death of Oreo, I don’t remember the guinea pig at all! I only remember his death. Probably because it was the first death I ever experienced. We moved out of that house when I was 5, and even though I am 29 now, I still think about him when I drive past our old
Not so much so that they are physically or mentally hurt but a small swat on the rump to get their attention is necessary at times. I do not believe that schools should ever lay a hand on my child that should be left for the parents. If there is a major problem that was caused by my child I should be called to the school to handle that problem. “The fact that over 90% of Americans are spanked as children, and most are not violent, abusive, or criminal adults, contradicts an assertion that corporal punishment unilaterally will have negative effects on children” (Oas, 2010). So if a child is spanked and it does not make them a violent person, then why is it so bad for a parent to discipline their child?
Eventually after a few spankings here and there the child will learn from right and wrong very quickly. Depending on the degree of the spanking the child is receiving, parents should have the option of spanking their children. As ridiculous as it may sound, adults are not able to reason with many children now and days and some times and the only way for the child to actually listen to their parents is by the physical force that is needed or could be used in the situation so with that being said, yes parents should be able to spank their kids. Hebrews 11:12 for the moment all discipline seems painful rather than pleasant, but later it yields the peaceful fruit of righteousness to those who have been trained by it. Discipline is an activity that takes place in the moment but always for the sake of later.
Raymond’s Conviction As I woke up to the sun shining in my face on a beautiful Friday, I was ready to enjoy the wonderful summer weather that North Charleston had to offer. My daily routine consisted of taking a shower, lunch, and playing outside. Mama worked twelve hour shifts so she had already left for work at about 6:15 a.m. I was always in the house alone, but never once felt neglected or took advantage of my twelve hours of freedom. All of my siblings were older than me and moved out of mama’s house so I almost felt like an only child.
We only saw things we wanted once in a while. My family has never been able to take a family vacation with all five of us, we could never afford it. Although, we did not have much I was able to go away a few times. For each time I had a short vacation it holds special meaning to me since I did not so often, like that time I went to Georgia and meet family I have never meet before, the time I went to Virginia with a friend, and the time I went on a college tour down south with an after school program.
After 1.5 hrs. Of sleep, I awoke at 5 am only to realize that nobody else was awake except for me. So then I went down stairs and watch my favorite show, “The Fresh Prince of Bel air” for about 45 minutes until everybody woke up. When everybody got up, we rushed around to get out the door by a certain time. Then all 7 of us piled in an Expedition that only holds 8 with all of our blankets and such and then we headed off down the road to Myrtle Beach S.C.
Have you ever scared of something? I have, When I was 11 my mom tell me that she gonna send me to another country, I was shocked, first time I saw was a joke, but my mom sounds really serious, so I realize it was real. First two month I was try to accept the fact that I am really going to America. I try to resist, I use all the idea that I can think of to not going to America, because I don’t want leave my family, my friend, and everyone that I loved. Third month, I finally accept the fact I’m going to America.
All of us share a room whose rent is paid by my mom and my sister only, while my check helps bring the bread to our room. We move just about every other month due to huge differences in lifestyles between my family and the people we rent with. Where we move to is not a big deal for me because I am hardly ever home to avoid problems with whomever we live with. Between school, basketball practice, cheer, sports medicine, and my job, I keep myself busy so I only arrive at our room to get some rest at night. These are difficult times and I am aware that there are many more to come.
