I also think the play highlights the importance of families; especially fathers. We learn Edward has grown up in a safe, secure family; however his father is constantly away at work, so it is left to Mrs Lyons to look after Edward by herself. Mickey’s life is also similar, in the way that he never has a father figure around, however he does have a kind, loving mother, who would do anything for her children. The absence of fathers allows Willy Russell to focus on motherhood, and how, no matter what happens, a mother will always be there for her child; even if their father
Pacettas Rules for Leadership Kevin J American Military University Frank Pacetta had a lot of native talent but he squandered it in his early years with Xerox (Pacetta p.12). Luckily for Xerox and himself, he was never fired and received the training and mentorship that he needed to morph into the type of leader who would take charge of a failing district and turn it into one of the top performers in the country. Mr. Pacettas parents were a large influence on him as a person but also as a leader and boss. His mother had to take care of his brother who was handicap and he heard stories about how great of a boss his father was. Mr. Pacetta would take the never quit attitude from his mother and the business and people savvy of his father and combine them to make one outstanding mentor and leader.
The sad part is he left me with a 1 year old toddler and that’s all that I had left when he got placed in prison. So I had to start from scratch. He was the provider for me and my son. He paid the bills, put food in the fridge, and made sure that me and my son never wanted for anything but now I had to do it on my own. I guess everyone deserves a fresh start but not unexpectedly.
When Myrna gets sick the visits are put to an end. Physical contact is replaced with unpersonal letters which allows her to keep the distance she needs, but still be able to have her maternal feelings fulfilled by the information she gets through the letters. Despite the distance Myrna has forced in between her and her son, she feels a part of her leap to life at the sight of him. This shows her remaining love for her son – and after all she is glad he is fine: “... she was glad he hadn’t been maimed or murdered in prison. At least he looked whole and healthy of body,” (page 2, line 10).
Even though Sam cannot recover from the presence of his medical disability, he is able to overcome the some impact of the disability. He is identified as an asset to society and a positive, loving and caring father for his daughter through social model not his medical model. The movie determines that the social model is the best way to view people with disability, by using the social model as a tool to solve the conflict of Sam’s right to guardianship over his daughter. Every society has negative and positive attitudes toward to individual with disabilities. However, still we often see more negative attitudes because still society sees PWD through medical model.
• As a father Atticus can be said to be a great father. He is generally loving and caring towards his children, he guides them through right and wrong always, and he tries to make them morally strong as he is. He shows intelligent parenting, when Scout starts swearing, Atticus doesn’t punish her or tell her not to, knowing that this would just make her swear more, instead he leaves her to keep swearing until she herself realizes it’s the wrong thing to do. He does not do it because he is careless or it does not matter to him what his children do, he

His family is fully dependent on his ability to work, and he never misses work. Because he did not show up for work the morning of his transformation, his manager came to the house and tried to get an explanation from Gregor as to why he missed work. It is at this point that Gregor’s family first sees him for the bug that he is. His mother has an immediate concern for Gregor.
