Janie grew to learn how to go through struggles and overcome them. Janie was affected growing up like her looking for love. When someone looks for love they have to think about what they want or need from a partner in order to be happy. Zola wrote “Janie had no chance to know things, so she had to ask.”(Hurston, p.21) So when marriage or love was brought up she
Here are some reasons: Economic recession, infertility, education and career ambition, or medical issues, might make a woman not want to be a mother. Jessica Handler is choosing childlessness because of her biological dice is facing disbelief and disapproval from friends, family, and society in general. I agree with the choice that Ms. Handler made to not be a mother. Being an effective parent is a huge responsibility that a responsible woman needs
Berries, Roots In the poem “Grandmother”, by Douglas Nepinak, the poet discusses the loneliness and struggle of a woman who does not know English which creates a barrier in communicating with her family. The change I had to overcome was difficult but it had to be conquered; moving to a new house, which meant having to wake up earlier than I needed to get to school in time. Change can at times be hard for people to live with and eventually overcome. People often fear change in their lives because they have a sense of control and comfort; a sort of safety net on which they can rely on. Change comes with certain adjustments, and everyone deals with these adjustments differently; therefore, ultimately, the poet suggests that if these adjustments are not met with reality at the right time, it can be costly to everyone involved.
One observation that I made about Faye, from A Secret Sorrow, is that she is always thinking of her family members before herself. Instead of feeling sorry for herself, she is more concerned about how her condition will make Kai react. Then once the two of them adopt their three children, she takes advantage of the time she has with her them that she thought she would never have. On the other hand, the woman from A Sorrowful Woman hides herself from her family even though she knows the time she has with them will be cut short. She did not take advantage of precious time that she
Rosaleen believes that Lily should just leave the topic alone and that she may discover something she just does not want to know. Rosaleen fears that Lily will be more hurt by her discoveries in finding her past that happy and relieved, “ ‘Maybe she was. I can’t say. I just know some things are better left alone.’ ‘What do you mean? That I shouldn’t find out what I can about my own mother?’ ‘What if—’ She paused and rubbed the back of her neck, ‘What if you find out something you don’t wanna know?’ " (Kidd, 100) Another controversial view studied by Emanuel states that Lily must confront the hardship of her mother’s death head on and that it may have a
At first Janie had a liking to Jody, and thought that he was a good man, but later she found out his true personality, which was vain. He didn’t care about how Janie felt and was really only interested in the idea of the mayor’s wife. He felt like he always needs to have the power. Janie said that Jody needed to “have his way all his life, trample and mash down and then die ruther than tuh let himself heah ’bout it”. He didn’t let Janie socialize with the community, even when it’s what she wanted to do, and he tried as much as he could to stop her from emerging in any way.
Opposing Views Opposing views of happiness are described in the story A Secret Sorrow by Karen Van Dee Zee and A Sorrowful Woman by Gail Godwin. The stories revolve around two women who struggle with their own personal issues. In A Secret Sorrow, Faye could not fulfill her dream of happiness of getting married and having children of her own. In contrary, “A Sorrowful Woman,” the secluded unnamed woman already had the fulfillment the Faye longed for, but was at the point of not wanting that life anymore. Faye worried how the relationship with her boyfriend Kai would be affected be her inability to conceive children from her internal injuries of a car wreck.
When it comes communication in the family, there was periods of dysfunctional communitation. One example is when M’Lynn and Shelby discuss her decision to have a baby. M’Lynn was very closed minded because she believed that if the doctor told Shelby that she should have kid she should follow the doctor suggest without question. According to our text dysfunctional communication is often ineffective in one or more of the basic characteristics of the functional sender: in stating case, in clarifying and qualifying, in eleiciting, and/or in being receptive to feedback. The receiver is often left confusion and has to guess what the sender is thinking or feeling (Friedman, Bowden, & Jones, 2003).
I feel Jennifer and her family do not have good communication. I understand that Jennifer is grown and she is trying to do it all, but she really needs to express her feelings to her family. I also believe her family should start asking her if she needs help, or ask her how she feels. I find it very sad that Jennifer’s husband does not at least try to help with the housework, or pay for a maid. Financially I think Jennifer and her husband are doing great.
I have yet to forgive my father for all he's done. My mother decided that taking me to a counseling psychologist would help me.
