* This reveal the power of family tie, and how big the impact is family members can have on others.

Tess of the d’Urbervilles Tess of the d’Urbervilles(New York:Chelsea House,1987) ,a world famous book,is written by Thomas Hardy.Hardy is an accomplished writer who strongly believes in the idea of fatalism and it’s this belief that inspires Hardy to write this wonderful work of literature. This book is a story of tragedy and the protagonist Tess is really a wretched and sad girl.Almost every reader will take pity on Tess and feel depressed about Tess’s unfortunate life.Tess is a beautiful girl living with her impoverished family in the village of Marlott.The condition of extreme poverty of family makes Tess live in high pressure.To support the family,Tess takes her mother’s advice and goes to a so called d’Urberville family for help,which becomes the source of Tess’s tragedy.She is seduced by Alec d’Urberville and from then on her life totally changes from this loss of innocence.Her husband Clare leaves away from her when he knows the truth.Tess muders Alec in order to live with Clare when he comes back from Brizal.Tess is arrested.What a poor woman!The man she deeply loves comes back finally,but they can no longer get together.I can’t help crying after reading Tess’s hard life.I hope that the novel will have a happy ending,but novel is written to reflect true life of society and therefore Tess inevitably suffers a lot and eventually can’t stay with the person she loves. Why does the bad often ruin the good?Why is beautiful Tess damaged by ugliness?In my opinion,there are several aspects lead to Tess’s tragedy.First,it’s because of women’s low place in the society.Women are treated unfairly.Girl should be hard-working,loyal in people’s mind.Once she is seduced,she will not be respected.But little do people care about man’s character.Second,Tess’s attitude to love also affects the result of her life.Because of her honesty,she experiences aparting from her
Allison’s characters are notably similar to her own poor southern family. And even the story seems to follow and mimic her own escape from the fate that destroyed so many generations of her family and would have swallowed her alive. She used writing as a means to fight back and to expose the evils of her childhood. By writing this story as fictions it makes it possible for her to create the basic detachment needed to comprehend the transparency of the characters without being too sentimental. In that aspect her characters are not lacking in depth and it is because of this nonfictional pretense that some of the images are so horrifying.
In order to explain that the individual has full control over how they choose to perceive their own situation Eric Hoffer says, “It still holds true that man is most uniquely human when he turns obstacles into opportunities.” This remarkable trait is apparent in Jeanette Walls’ memoir, The Glass Castle, in which Walls retells the story of her childhood surrounded by her extremely dysfunctional yet oddly vivacious family. The reader becomes engrossed in Jeannette’s endless battle between defending her family and the greatness she hopes the Walls will amount to, and settling for the fact that her family is based on false hopes and meaningless lies with her extraordinary story telling techniques. Walls uses her story to encourage others to embrace their past because it affects the person one grows to be, and also to inspire them to look for the opportunity in every situation. Throughout the story, Walls uses astounding imagery to describe her family’s living conditions which helps the reader understand the family’s severe levels of poverty and disorder. In the winter, life on Little Hobart Street for the Walls was depressing due to the dreary weather.

A Little Princess (1995) Part 1 The film A Little Princess (ALP) is a children’s story that also highlights social issues of Britain in the World War I time period. A child, watching this film, would be intrigued by the animated mind of the main character (Sara) and her vivid imagination. Her constant neglect from the malicious headmistress (Miss Minchin) endorsed her sympathy gained from the audience. Even as Miss Minchin mistreated Sara, her character grew tougher and her imagination grew stronger. Sara would use her fantasy stories to fill the void whenever she missed her father or felt hopeless.
The evil that I felt was portrayed in Charlotte Temple is not the independence Charlotte wants, but the realization that she can’t get her independence happily without the financial and emotional assistance that others can give her. She even admits her confinement to being reliant on others after the letter from her parents. She says, “I will not wound the hearts of those dear parents who make my happiness the whole study of their lives…"(Rowson 46). This evil element of trying to discover her own independence taunts Charlotte throughout the text. Charlotte Temple, by Susannah Rowson was popular in the 19th Century simply because it was just that; simple.
Love and family are very important to her. She is also an obliging woman. Yet they all have a virtuous lie in different purpose. Raimunda have an unusual degree of self-reliance and mental toughness.

Human life is the greatest masterpiece gifted by the Lord, yet White indicated that life is the greatest godsend only when they are not compared with the nature. From their personal essay, we can see things that are used to be neglected but ought not to be missed. “On going home” is all about a personal experience relating to a visit to the writer’s childhood family, revealing the fragmentation of once close-knit family, by telling the communication gap between her husband and her brother, as if her new family (with husband) as well as the childhood family (with her parents and relatives). The gap is especially apparent when Didion states that “my brother does not understand my husband’s inability to perceive the advantages in the rather common real-estate transaction known as ’sale-leaseback’”(1), neither her husband can understand ”why so many of the people he hears about in my father’s house have recently be committed to mental hospital” (1)as well. Her brother even used “Joan’s husband” as a character emotionally separated from her family to describe her husband, reinforcing the cleft between two families.
Furthermore, family hardships are most importantly one of the themes, everyone’s battle with Kate’s illness and their support. As I mentioned before the difficulty of dealing with a loved one suffering and the impotence that one feels, so the only thing they could do is support each other. Although there are conflicts regarding that they essentially all support Kate. Emotional response In my opinion this was a very well put together novel. It was dramatic, melancholic, and with an unexpected ending!
