Jewel ends up with very little because he sacrificed life and limb for his already deceased mother and also gave up his hard earned horse for a father that was shameful and unconcerned with his whole family.

In the beginning of the novel, Jewel seemed kept to himself and Darl seemed like the natural leader of the Bundren family. As the novel progressed Jewel became the one who could put more weight on his shoulders and support the family. Darl transformed into an unstable and non-vital part of the Bundren family, barely
This lack of a father figure to influence him positively through his life could also provide reasoning for his ease to be influenced by Lord Henry. As shown by Lady Henry, Dorian begins to quote ‘one of Harry’s views’ showing the thorough control that Henry has over Dorian’s life in the same way a child would copy his father. This moment in his life also meant that Dorian was brought up by his cruel grandfather, Kelso, (instigator of his mother’s and father’s death) and from the nature of ‘the old schoolroom’ we can see that Kelso despised Dorian as he was a reminder of his daughter and her substandard marriage. This isolation can explain his naivety and provide some excuse for his ignorance leading to debauchery. In the beginning of the novel Dorian’s character comes across as childish and displays innocence and inexperience towards the world.

A few weeks ago I accounted myself a very rich man, and now the poorest of all.” I realize that the death of a child cannot compare to losing one through divorce. However, the agony of having that child ripped from him is still, for many fathers, a pain that is almost too much to bear. Imagine having that which you cherish the most taken away.
Both the husband and the wife had well paying jobs, great health care, but they were still unable to afford the medical treatment that they required. It’s really scary to know that even those with health care can be reduced and forced into such a helpless state. Another example of unfairness is this elderly gentleman named Frank and his elderly wife. He is forced to work even though he’s worked all his life just to pay for his and his wife’s medication. Even employees of theses big shot insurance companies just can
This essay will argue that Huttmann made a wise decision and did not commit a crime. She made a very difficult decision to free Mac of his misery and live with a peaceful conscience. During the 80's euthanasia was not a common procedure for hospitals. There are patients like Mac who are very ill and transformed from a strong, young person in to a skeleton trapped in a hospital bed. When people are very sick and have to lay in bed for months without showing a bit of progress, as in the majority of the cancer cases, they are in agony.“The Doctor believed that life must be extended as long they have the means and knowledge to do it” (Huttmann 114).
