"And so, your father built us this rathole"(9). She lives her life as a single mother. Her only chance of every getting married was destroyed by her having an attack.
Both women went through horrible tragedies throughout their lives but in the end had the things they both wanted most. Mariam was born a harami, with no chance to be accepted in the world of Afghanistan. Her mother was mean to her, and her father only came to visit once a week and didn’t care much about her, he only cared for his reputation and didn’t want to tarnish his name. In this case from the beginning Mariam didn’t have a great chance to have a successful life but she would have been happy staying with her mother. The decision she made to leave her mother and go to Jalil was one decision that really harmed the course of her life.

Both Francie and Jane each experienced a different kind of tragedy in their lives.

Francie has a family to love and care for her while Jane has not even felt what the emotion of “Love” is from her aunt Reed. While Jane was young she had the courage to stand up to her aunt to tell her about the wrongs doings she has don’t to her. Here Jane says that “I will never call you aunt again as long as I live” she also says that her aunt has no “feelings” and “I [Jane] can do without one bit of love or kindness Pg (38).
The coping mechanisms of detachment, numbness, denial and self-hatred (to name a few) were enmeshed onto their children until they became one big wound with no boundaries. Jessie couldn't speak till she was four years old. The only word she could let out was "botch." Ridicule and judgment surfaced for years around this. "The doctor said she was just too lazy to talk, and now we can't shut her up" was a favourite.
To advocate, my previous statement it is amazing how water indicates how simple emotions are portrayed as love. Why is saving someone's life considered as love? Mabel was one of two girls in a family of five children. Her brothers, all of which were older than her, didn't think much of Mabel and really didn't have too much respect for her.

But with Granny Weatherall memories of her life and silly father: which her father had lived to be over one hundred years old and had drunk a noggin of strong hot toddy on his last birthday.... how she worked hard all her life and took care of everybody else.

The author is a loving wife and parent who experiences complications in her family relationships because of her husband, John, who is spending less time with her and spending more time at work. As a child, Hope Edelman grew up in suburban New York where her father was always preoccupied with work, thus never spending time with the family just like her husband. The author was seventeen when her mother died of breast cancer causing Edelman great pain. Her mother did everything around the house when she was alive, so her passing caused a lack of discipline with the children and there were no more chores for any of the siblings. Nannies were suddenly walking in through the front door daily.
The times my mother cried after the electrical company cut off our power because we couldn’t afford it. The times our water was shut off because we couldn’t afford that either. The times we’d eat the same meal everyday until the end of the month because that was the cheapest meal we could afford. However, after moving to West Orange,

The real reason, we soon found out after her passing, of why she wasn't in school was due to the fact that she was in the hospital, in
