The Hampsons didn’t know it then, but it’s where they would spend much of the next four years, a place they would ruefully come to call their home away from home. As doctors began running tests on Logan, Lynn stayed at the hospital while Jason worked in Etobicoke, repairing rails for CN Rail all day before returning to sleep with his family. The
She talked about what a smart and out spoken man her father was, and a person that her family had always looked up to, she saw the life and the goodness that her father had in him starting to fade away at the end. It got to a point where he could not read or even do something that he likes doing and that was cross word puzzles. Susan went threw a lot of medical treatment that with her father that I would have done to. That is one out of a million people that stuck by her father the way she did. In 2002 her father was diagnosed with metastic head and neck cancer.
Before his mom and sisters died, he was given plenty of love. After they were gone, the only person left for him to love was his father. Chlomo Wiesel wasn’t the kind of person that shows love and affection to people though. It’s more towards the end of the book that Elie realizes how much he cares about his dad. At one point, when Chlomo was being beaten by Idek, he was ashamed of his father and he didn’t feel any grief for him.
About six years ago my uncle had broken his back. Yes, it was scary, but we all thought he was going to be okay because it wasn’t too serious. But we were all wrong when he got his surgery and nothing had happened. And that was the beginning of my uncle’s depressing life. He has had about ten surgeries since then and every time something has gone, for example his last surgery they put a shocker in his back.
She bit down on her bottom lip as her tears continued to cascade down her cheeks. She looked at the pale man lying on the hospital bed before her, grasping his hand as if at any moment he might slip away from her. It was her first week back at school when PC Dawson, a work colleague of her dads, collected her from her lesson. It was that day her whole world came crashing down. The day she found out her father had been shot and placed in a coma, one she was told he may never awake.
Because he was so badly injured he almost had to get his leg amputated but he didn’t because he had an excellent docto the rest of his life he had to walk with a crutch under his right arm. After five years of being retired from the army he developed a tumor on his brain that was cancerous and extremely deadly, he died only two weeks after finding out that
The young man we had with us was not hurt at all. Helen had been sick all day and fainted once more after she got out of the car. Another neighbor came along and picked us up and was going to take us to town to the Doctor. We then met another neighbor who did take us to town to Dr. Hawkins. He taped Helen’s ribs and put me to sleep with either so he could check my jaw but I could barely open my month for a long time.
Franzen also goes on to later say “I don’t like to remember how impatient I was for my father’s breathing to stop, how ready to be free of him I was.” (pg 98) I was surprised to find that he would say something like that about the man that was part of giving him life. I started to think more about a deeper reason for him to have said that and I started to think it was because he really loved his father. Franzen didn’t want to see his father suffer through this horrible disease anymore, so he wanted it to just be over for his father’s own sake. I personally would never want to see a loved one suffer the way Franzen had to watch his father. It would be a hard thing that I don’t know if I ever could go
For example, I have built a very good relationship with my English II Honors and AP Literature & Composition teacher, Mr. Brian Thelen. Though Mr. Thelen didn't always give me the grade I wanted, I knew that by learning from his suggestions I would become a better writer and student. He taught me that by developing my reasoning ability and enjoying the process of analysis and understanding rather than searching for a final solution, I would be more successful. My church community has also been instrumental in my academic and personal growth. The members of my church community have provided me with the support and encouragement to achieve my goals.
You’ll be the first graduating class, a great academic program, and also a nine hour school day..” (insert shocked face) This/that’s actually how my face looked! Nine hours a day? I might as well be get a pay check every week. So, I started during my research and slowly but surely, my guard started to let down. From my understanding,
