Mattie I believe was very spoiled by her father and sheltered as well. She did have a sense of the outside world as many young girls explore at a young age, she was not given that option. I think the reason for her doing what she did was because she was so sheltered and thought that she could make her own decisions but her own decisions got her mixed up in a situation leaving her basically alone to take care of her son. I believe that her father abandoned her because she went against him and made her own decisions. Etta was a character who did not settle down with a man, she was very free spirited.
Marissa always got everything she wanted; I envied how she never had to do chores and got everything handed to her, but then I realized that in the end I became a more independent person because I worked hard for what I wanted. I was young and naïve, but what I did not realize was that she did not have a family that would go to the end of the earth for her and her family tried to buy her love instead of spending the time with her to show her. As a kid I had everything I needed, but not everything I wanted and that is what made me jealous of her. In Toni Cade Bambara’s piece of literature “The Lesson” Miss Moore showed kids, that knew nothing more than the projects, an expensive toy store called F.A.O. Schwartz to make them see that there
The prenatal Cash was a part of her, someone inside of her from whom she could never isolate herself. In the reluctant mother’s mind, Anse Bundren was to blame for corrupting her sense of privacy and would be forever dead to her. In this way, she severed what was supposed to be the most sovereign relationship in a woman’s life and created a rift through what was to come of the Bundren family. As the family grows, Addie develops misconceptions about her relationship to her children. Cash had violated her aloneness, while Darl was deprived of the love that Addie poured so strongly into the void that was her third son.
The Brave New Neverland Growing up means learning from getting hurt, taking on responsibility, and losing childhood innocence. In Brave New World by Aldous Huxley, the people of the World State never seem to grow up and lose their childhood innocence. They work as adults but outside of work they are permitted to act like children with no responsibilities and drugs that take care of any unpleasant emotions. They are sheltered with no understanding of how to deal with things and are trained to not grow up mentally. In the World State no one really grows up because the World State wants everyone to be happy and not experience pain which means no one loses their innocence.
Monique states, “You know, Alexis, this is what keeps me alive – the power of words. Words live forever they point out the right direction and express feelings simply without removing what complexity exists in them. The words you were never able to find explain your suffering – the absence of those words prevented us from growing together” (14) this quote clearly illustrates the struggle between Monique and her partner Alexis. Due to the absence of Monique’s father and mother, Monique grew as a very lonely child. Now as an adult Monique has a hard time adjusting from only being in her own company to sharing and being with someone other than herself.
She is the modernisation’s beneficiary who receives a formal education. However, it has not helped her build a good character. She hates the burned house and in some way despises Mama and Maggie, her younger sister. Mama describes Dee as “a look of concentration on her face as she watched the last dingy gray board of the house fall
Throughout my years, I have never heard of chores hurting a kid’s life. It gives you good perspective of what life is all about. It teaches how we need to work hard to reach our goals. It also helps you become stronger and believe that you could do it all no matter what brick wall you will face in life. Everyone’s philosophy of life is different when it comes to chores or anything in relationship to life.
Cathy’s upbringing did not seem to be a likely place to develop hatred or any reason for rebellion in the young girl. Her parents were very loving and thought highly of her; “Cathy said she wanted to be a teacher, which delighted her mother and father, for this was the one profession of
Mama finally stands up to Dee and realizes the beauty in Maggie. Mama is a simple woman. She has worked hard her entire life and has done the best to support her family. Although Mama may not agree with Dee, it seems as if she is caught up in Dee’s opinions and behavior. Almost as if she wants to be enough for Dee because she knows she never has been.
