Antwone’s mother was young and incarcerated at the time of his birth, but even with her age, Antwone’s mother wanted her child to be taken care of.

I have managed to learn nothing at all After the tragic death of Kate Morrison’s parents in the novel Crow Lake by Mary Lawson, she lives with her siblings where her older brothers take charge of the family. Her oldest brother Luke tries to find jobs and sacrifices his own education to support the family. During the time when he works in McLean’s family store, he and their daughter Sally develop affection towards each other. Consequently, Sally tries to seduce Luke to have sex with her; however Luke rejects the offer for the sake of their family. Similar story happens to Kate’s other brother, Matt, but the way they handle are the opposite.
You can see this though many ways. One way is the way she refers to how things happen during her time as a captive. She sees everything that happens to her during this time and her life as God’s will. She believes that everything happens for a reason and looks to God. During her time when she was lost in the wilderness she states, “I cannot but admire at the wonderful power and goodness of God to me (112).” She wasn’t afraid to admit her faith; she confesses it throughout the entire narrative.
Because there is only a certain amount of treatment that a body can with stand. Her father starting thinking that he was a burden to his daughter so some of the treatment that he was taking he start refusing but his daughter would not give up on him. There are so many good things to say about Susan Wolf, but the best thing you can say about her is that she is a Angle sent from heaven just for her father. The story about her father death really touched me and after I read it the first time I had to read it again and then tell someone about it. It make you think what could you have possibly done in that situation.
Debra didn’t completely break under this oppression, like many children in abusive homes tragically do. That was impressive enough in itself, but when she and her sisters threatened their mother with a “him or us” approach, which just oozes self-confidence, she was showing the courage within her as early as possible. Joining the military, the Air Force more specifically, took tremendous bravery, but Debra signed up like someone would for a church service project. It was reminiscent of Antonio’s brothers, and the Sixou boys. She was made
Laurel’s Brownie Troop focuses on the church and Christian values; but her fellow Brownies do not live the kind words they preach when they attend Camp Crescendo. In ZZ Packers, Brownies, Laurel, who is quiet, nonviolent, and positive, grows from an innocent and naïve fourth grader to a young girl who comes to understand there is bad in the world that she could never fix like bullying and racism.

Her healing work has also been published in the local news media. Mama Lola was very much open to alternative methods of healing “she is not afraid to incorporate elements from other cultures into her own worldview.” “… her whole life is about movement between cultures and about understanding and coping with cultural difference.” (Pg 206, Mama Lola) Mama Lola’s line of work not only deals with health problems but also love, work and family difficulties. Her healing skills combine that of a medical doctor, psychotherapist, a social working and priest and is well respected in her community not just for her work but as a good woman. “She has a group of steady followers who appreciate her for being trustworthy and discreet as well as effective. It is also widely known that she adheres to a tradition that discourages making large profits from healing work”.
Maggie knows she deserves the quilts made by her grandmother and aunt far more than Dee does but of course Dee thinks that everything is about her and that she should have what she wants. Maggie probably thinks that Dee will get the quilts because she had seemed to be Mama’s favorite, but not this time. Like Mama says, “This was Maggie’s portion.” Maggie deserves them way more than Dee. It is like they are back in church where once she would give Dee her “slightest whim,” she now refuses. After the fire it left Maggie with scars on the inside and out and that is why she acts so shy and timid throughout her

The missionary group is led by a minister and his wife who have two adopted children. Nettie can tell by looking at them that the children are Celie's.
