My mother at time was out most of the night and not able to get me up and ready early in the morning. When I finished the sixth grade( which I shouldn’t of) I asked my grandparents if I could live with them. They were more then thrilled to have me. I then moved to Murray, Kentucky where I finished grade school, middle school and graduated from Murray High School. I also spent half of a year at Wesleyan College, in Owensboro, Kentucky and had to leave to give birth to my son.
Nobody in the family had talked to Royal in decades until he found that Etheline was considering marrying another man in which case he told her that he was dying in order to try to get back in the family but truthfully trying to stop the marriage. In the film the parents have very unique parenting styles as well as many forms of symbolism which I will be discussing a few of these. Royal and Etheline had very different teaching styles which took two different extremes. Royal had almost completely deserted the children and had almost no involvement in their lives. That is except for Richie who had become a professional tennis player very young.
Before I finished the high school, I started to work for a big tools company as a salesman helper (where I learned many new things). After one year I had, the opportunity to become a salesman. That job gave me many opportunities to continue studying because I had a flexible schedule. I finished high-school, and I drop out of school for two years because I liked to make money and I forget the school. Fortunately I changed my mind and went back to school to finish the university.
And my grandmother had a high school education. She became a house wife with five children. So selling the idea to them was going too hard to convince them. I had the whole school year to talk to them. So when I see them on the weekend, I would try to fill them out.
They would fight so bad in front of me that it affected me with my school work, sports and social life. Everything started getting better until the day my mom moved out and I had to choose who I was going to life with. I went to a divorce counselor and lawyer because I was unable to make the decision. I finally spit the time equally, which was not enough for both of them and ended up making them fight even more and putting myself in the middle of it. Finally sophomore year of high school my biggest support system came into my life, my boyfriend and his family.
My brother was into drugs which he began doing at age sixteen, which means he was doing them for half of his short lived life. We still needed to find a way to my house, and my sister was trying to get out of work, so she had her friend Kristen pick us up and drive us there. Kristen came to the door crying and that’s when it hit me. This was not a joke, my brother died, he was gone. The fact that I was never going to see Bugga again broke my heart into a million little pieces that I couldn’t pick up and put back
My name is Reena. I live with my parents, my grandmother, and my three older siblings. After grandpa died, my grandma came to live with us, and she has been our main guardian while my parents are off at work during the weekdays. She was more of a mother to me and my brothers solely because she was simply around more. Always teaching us to pull our own weight around our house, and essentially preparing us for the war that would devastate our country for over a decade.
At one point in time in my life one of my teachers told me that I would never graduate or attend college and that I would most likely be knocked up before my junior year. But like Catherine I used that as fuel and proved everyone wrong. Not only did I graduate from high school but I am currently attending college. I am also happily engaged to the man of my dreams, no kids yet but definitely considered when we are both ready. I was definitely moved by this play, enough so I want to go and rent the movie and watch it with my fiancé.
My eleventh grade year was also a disaster because of the struggle of passing my biology state test and I was really distracted and just wanted to go back to the alternative school but my mom and the principle would not send me back. My senior year I transferred to Christ Missionary and Industrial high school (college) the year flew by but I really enjoyed myself there. Now I am still here at CM&I , I supposed to be a summer graduate if everything goes as planned. Once I finish high school I plan on signing up for the air
Sarah Moore, 18, discovered that she was eight weeks pregnant. She wanted to blame her partner but then again it was her that was being so gullible. She wanted to have an abortion, which her partner agreed he’d help pay for, but it was a hard decision. She began to have second thoughts because she had taken sexual education classes in school and learned that the safest way not to get pregnant was absentness. There was no way she could have a baby; however she was a college student and had no time.
