Stories Stress the Importance to Have Faith; Comparative Essay Stories can have a vast variety of different aspects, patterns, and meanings. A story usually consists of a plot, or story line, that leads the protagonist on "the hero's quest"; a journey the central character endures throughout a story. Stories are produced to divert the reader from life, or to teach the reader a lesson. For some, stories are not just words that are strung together; they are words with deeper meanings and ideas expressed through suspense, action, and emotion. Stories are an essence of life, and help shape individuals as they grow.
I believe that Dubus wants us to know that Fowler loved his wife. He was concerned for his wife, because she was always seeing Strout in the streets and it was causing her such pain. But Matt loved his children so much that he becomes afraid for them. “He had always been a fearful father, when his children were young.” It wasn’t until Fowler and Strout were driving together toward Stout’s home we see that Strout still loves his soon to be ex wife. It is clear even as the two characters walk through Stout’s duplex, and the picture of his family and his wife’s smile which showed happiness.
The aim of this essay is to evaluate client-centered therapy as a technique used in counselling. This will be achieved by reviewing the application and limitations taking into account of groups, families, culture and gender. Rogers own unique approach to person-centered therapy, is understanding personality and human relationships. Rogers’ theory of nurturing relationships consisted of acceptance, caring, warmth and respect in order for change to take place (Wilkins, 2010). Conditions of worth depend on the model, unconditional positive regard of empathy, congruence and self-actualization.
Lucie ignites these characters and ensures them a more promising destiny by binding them into her family. For example, Lucie’s thread unites her father with the present keeping him from dwelling upon the horrors of his past. She reminds her father of the life he had before he was a prisoner and gives his life a purpose. Her endless love and devotion has healed her father from a state of madness allowing him to live his life to his fullest potential. Lucie has also provided her friend, Sydney Carton a more promising fate by binding him into her family.

And he's been absent going on sixteen years!" (Williams 1404). Tom, like his mother, sees he is taking from his father and is anticipating that he too, will leave the family behind. Amanda sees her family as a supportive unit during tough times. She tells her son, "We have to do all that we can to build ourselves up.
There are very specific details that show how miserable her life is. For example, "Besides, the invariable squabble for money on Saturday nights had begun to weary her unspeakably” (Paragraph 5, line 11). Her father would never give her money so she always gave all of her money and Harry sent what he could as well just to help. Her father said she used to squander the money and that he wasn’t going to give her his hard-earned money to throw about the streets. In the end, he would give her the money because he wanted Sunday’s dinner.
By exploring Eveline’s relationships with men, the society’s expectations of her, and her obligations toward her family, James Joyce not only focuses on the theme of escape, but also the moral history of his country. Eveline, a nineteen-year old, is much like the young women of Ireland in the early twentieth century. Having lost her mother and an older brother, Eveline is obligated to take up much of the responsibilities of the household at a young age while taking care of a drinking father and avoiding his abuses. Despite all these, Eveline still treasures the memories of a happier time. She recalls lovingly of her childhood when she was allowed to run around with the neighborhood children and the one occasion when her father was “very nice” (Joyce, 3).
Literature replicates the community by the occurrence of different culture, attitude, setting, and belief. Literature applies a language to signify what it feels like to live in a specific circumstance. Literature writing helps create an experience, to escape from reality. The use of literature can help the reader get a sense of the community described in the story. For this indication, I will give examples from Toni Cade Bambara’s “The Lesson,” Franz Kafka “The Metamorphosis,” and Gwendolyn Brooks’ “We Real Cool,”.
They may not do it on purpose but whether they realize it or not, it can destroy their family. Fathers should not make their job too much of a priority because it upsets and affects the female parent, a father’s presence helps children’s development, and it can be bad for the fathers health. The biggest problem mothers have with overworked fathers is the lack of attention showed to the child by the father. “We have a one year old who misses his daddy as much as I do.” (healthboards.com). This was written by a female parent on healthboards website.
