She has not done these things for time but every time he has done one thing, she feels more comfortable with herself. At the end of the story, Mrs. Sommer is sitting on a cable car wishing this would never end. When I first read the story, a thought pops up in my head is that Mrs. Sommer has done selfish things instead of putting her children first like she has always does. However, when I put myself in her position, I think this would be an ordinary thing that every single woman desires for. Mrs. Sommer has sacrificed too much for her family and this is just a little bit that she could enjoy.
My mother passed away when I was young and I was impacted greatly by this and the people around me had felt sorry for me but their perspective on the situation was still the same, as if nothing even happened and go on with there lives normally. There is more then just negative perspectives in life, most important one to me is positive perspectives. Now positive perspectives are a great thing. There are a lot of things in life that you have a positive perspective on, for example if a woman gets pregnant there is this part of you where you feel excited and happy and could forget about anything that has happened in your life in that first few minutes of finding out that news. There is something in between negative and positive perspectives that can be described as neutral.
You may have gathered by now that we were poor, but not just money poor. Both of my parents were alcoholics, and my mother being a mean drunk. There was no physical abuse, unless, I reckon, you count hunger pains, but it was more that she would say mean things. In retrospect I suppose I looked a lot like my father, whom she loved dearly when she was sober, but seemed to hate when she was drunk. Don’t get me wrong, I loved both my parents very much and was especially close to my father, when he was sober.
My sister and I don’t get along too well most of the time and occasionally an “I hate you!” comes out of one of our mouths, but when it comes down to it, the love in our hearts, no matter how deep, can always keep us together. By reading this book, it also shows others what kind of writer I am. Picoult puts in a random chapter every once in a while and then ties it all up in the end. In My Sister’s Keeper, the chapters are told by the six or so main characters, and frequently there is a few paragraphs or a chapter that doesn’t necessarily make sense at the time but all comes together soon in the book one example of this is when one of the narrators of a chapter is Alexander Campbell, but before long it explains that he is a lawyer and will be defending Anna against her parents in court. This is what I try to do in my writing, making sure the reader is interested and engrossed in the story and wants to read more and not be able to
As parents we encourage our children to become independent and when they do, we feel lost and normally do not really want to let go. We miss instructing them, their dependency and being a guiding force. And if anyone felt the way I did when our son left home, “what do I do now?” It took me longer to recover than it did with our daughter and honestly I have not fully recuperated from the separation. But I did recognize that it is a normal reaction to be sad when your child leaves home and even go into their room and sit there for a while, just do not allow depression to set in. This is also a happy moment, now you have the opportunity to see the revealing of what you have taught your child come to fruition.
Writing made her happy because she was able to confide in her diary. She considered it her friend since she couldn’t have any friends while hiding. It was what she was best at. Her diary was just very inspiring and touching that now, her diary has been translated into so many languages. Now people all around the world can read and see the impact Anne has made on
Throughout Vivian Bearing’s entire life, she has been a dedicated scholar and professor. She studied John Donne’s poems religiously, so much that in her eyes, this idea of intellectualism and wit is the most important thing life has to offer. She takes pride in her knowledge of seventeenth- century poetry and often comes off as harsh to students who simply are not on her intellectual level. However, as Bearing’s eight-cycle cancer treatment comes to a close and the realization that death is on prowl, Bearing no longer puts Donne on a pedestal. As Bearing’s death approaches, she realizes that wit and intellect are not the most important things in life, but instead, kindness and humanity is what brings a peace of mind.
Although it may not be a common experience, the story is still effective to the reader. “The Chrysanthemums,” is a perfect example of a short story that exhibits this quality of being a “just representation of general nature.” The main character Elisa Allen struggles with herself to become something more than her current life. During the time period of when this story was written, marriage limited a women’s potential far more than in today’s society. When a traveling salesman came to her home, she asked about his life and responded by saying, “It must be very nice. I wish women could do such things.” (Steinbeck 231) Elisa wants excitement and adventure in her life; she wants to feel important in the world.
Individuals with this trait lack the exuberance and energy associated with extroversion. They show low levels of interaction with the external world and shy from attention. In contrast with the extroverts, introverts thrive in situations that require individual activity. Agreeableness measures the extent of friendliness, compassion and corporation with others. Agreeable people get along well with others and are generally considerate, friendly and willing to compromise their interests with others (Rothmann & Coetzer 2013).
Their lives are devoid of pretence and they are able to display their emotions honestly. These people behave naturally in accordance with their nature. However, self-actualisers are also thoughtful and considerate of others. In situations where the expression of natural and honest feelings might hurt others, or where the issue is trivial, they temporarily curb those feelings. The
