Sandra - Her artistic abilities were frustrated as a child by poor art instruction and a terrible fall which badly broke her arm.

The children were told many lies about their families such as their parents were lazy and criminals. This affected the way other people saw these misunderstood First Nations. Some of the children that were forced to go to Residential Schools might have grown up to have the wrong idea about people and may start to abuse alcohol and drugs. This could lead to difficulty finding and keeping jobs. That means no source of income.
When questioned about a child’s injuries, an abusive parent will offer conflicting, unconvincing, or no explanation. Abusive parents or guardians are often alcohol, prescription drug, or illegal drug abusers. Oftentimes, the abusive parent has a history of abuse themselves. Signs of neglect are numerous. Children who beg or steal food or money from their classmates are this way because they are lacking these things from home.
Parents are busy making fortune and they are either too busy or quite tired to interact with their kid. They want to replace their presence through material aspect and here lies the real danger. The teens who are not related with the syphilis outbreak or are even aware of it allow the investigator to delve into their own dark world where there are everyday new rules for dating and sex. And children of age group of twelve or thirteen are even the victim of this social malice and in fact are the worst affected
Due to her domineering presence this meant that any chance that child A’s mother had of being able to fulfil her role as the primary carer was undermined and must have caused great stress and tension within the family unit. This is picked up on by the child who will often display negative behaviour just before a home visit in the hope that care staff will cancel it. This would remove the burden of saying she doesn’t want to go herself which she feels would be like rejecting her family. This finally leads me to the grandfather who would have been the only male to have been involved in child A’s development but he appears to have taken a very minor role and chose to stay in the background letting his domineering wife pull the family strings. This meant again that child A had no dominant male role model in her life and reinforced the grandmother’s matriarchal role.
What this culture of narcissism does is convince many people to stray or want to stray away from their families, especially children at a young age like teenagers. Not to mention the increasing number of abuse and suffer within families, it is not a surprise that people are starting develop more anger and resentments towards their and other families. This is the main reason as to why Pipher believes that people only desire to fulfill their own immediate needs; it is because of people’s mistrust and hatred towards families that prevents people from feeling respect and empathy. Eventually, when people cannot find happiness within themselves or within other people because they cannot figure out how to properly interact, people lose in touch with their humanity. Once people lose in touch with their humanity, they fail to recognize the feelings that make them humans; they prevent themselves from recognizing their inner humanity.
Noel Morris English 100 Professor Jenny Webster 6 May 2014 Foster Care: The Faulty System Many people assume kids in foster care are automatically doomed and do not have a future. It is also made known to both the youth and the public that they have no chance because of the negative statistics that are always publicized and those who are succeeding and making something of themselves are rarely heard about. Also, it is presumed that those who have been in foster care will experience homelessness, substance abuse, unemployment and other unfortunate outcomes (Facts About Foster Care, n.d.). It is the system’s fault for failing the youth and not properly preparing them for adulthood. The foster care system needs to make changes, so that youth are successful.
Mallard and the narrator of “The Yellow Wallpaper” were clearly trapped by society because of their gender and the roles that they would have to fulfill. Although it was not stated in “The Story of an Hour” if Mr. and Mrs. Mallard had children, we do learn as readers that John and his wife from “The Yellow Wallpaper” do have a child “….Such a dear baby! And yet I cannot be with him, it makes me so nervous” (480). The narrator of “The Yellow Wallpaper” is clearly affected by the fact that another women is taking care of her child even if it just for a short amount of time while she is recovering from her nervous depression. Because at that time period women were supposed to take care of their children that was their job and to have another woman do it she more than likely didn’t feel like she was doing her job.
