However, he did take care of his father’s estate and his mother while Odysseus was gone, but because his mother raised him he wasn’t very outgoing. In the beginning, Telemakos was a very shy and timid boy. He began having encounters with the suitors at his family’s estate. “I hear a crowd of suitors for your mother lives with you, uninvited, making trouble” (451). Because Telemakos didn’t know how to deal with the suitors his
Mary was my friend, and my mother always told me brother that hitting a girl was wrong. If it’s wrong for my brother, then it was wrong for Davie. Sure, Davie had gotten into fights with the other little boys, but he never hit a girl before. “But Davie, you hit a girl. You can’t hit girls.
Mr.Ewell never tried to be there for his children because it was said in court that he spent most of his time out of the house drinking. Although Atticus had Calpurnia to take care of his children, he was still always there for them but on the other hand, Mr.Ewell left his eldest daughter, Mayella, to take care of all his children. After all this, Mr.Ewell still abused Mayella and blamed Tom Robinson for abusing her, he is so selfish. This is a major difference because Atticus always put his children first other than the awful father Mr.Ewell who didn't love his family and didn't want them. Mr.Ewell never spent time with his children
Salinger, Holden Caulfield struggles with accepting that what his ideals are in his life are not what actually exist in the outside world. Holden has experienced several traumatic loses in his life that have caused him to believe in what he does.

Jim was more of a father figure in Huck’s life rather than his actual father. The opening of the book displays a series of events for Huck, " Huck awaits the arrival of his father, escapes him, rushes off in a blaze of ambivalence with his alternate father, Jim." (Segal 20) Just like any child, Huck was in need of a father in his life. He couldn’t talk to the Widow about everything and she wasn’t really his “family.” Huck was extremely rebellious growing up because he didn’t have a father figure tell him right from wrong. The only person Huck could relate to was his friend Tom Sawyer; unfortunately Tom wasn’t the best role model for Huck.
He later says how "I was not enthusiastic about his visit.... A blind man in my house was not something I looked forward to” (100). Upon the arrival of his wife’s friend, the husband is ultimately uncomfortable around Robert because he does not know how to communicate with or act around him. His discomfort is revealed when Robert and his wife were sharing their experiences “about the major things that had come to pass for them in the past ten years” (100). He felt it was necessary to join in because he thought Robert would “think [he] left the room and didn’t want [his wife] to think [he] was feeling left out” (103). It is obvious the husband is overly involved with Robert’s handicap and fails to see him as a person with his
His father would withhold money he had, and also made his sons and wife held responsible for every cent. Being kicked or the matter of kicking by his father was seen early in Nixon’s life. Although, this matter whether his father kicked him or not was unsure by Nixon even though his memory believed he was kicked by his father (Brodie, 1981). Mother Nixon’s mother described by many as either too gentle or cranky and Puritanical was from a Quaker household. His mother was known by the main remark that she stated that Richard (Nixon) everyday seemed to need her more than her other four sons.
He didn’t do anything wrong, yet his mom left him. I couldn’t help but imagine how I would feel if I were in his place. I felt that it was not very beneficial to write a letter to your son telling him that you have to find something interesting for yourself, especially to a son that is Billy’s age. I think that it would be very hard to understand at that age. To a child that age, they see their mom as their caregiver.
Dez relied on his new friend, Cory, to stay by his side but when Cory saw how dangerous Dez was during a shooting incident, he left him alone. Dez’s other so-called “friends” were just people who hanged out with him because he had control over them; they never really supported him. Even the school teachers let him down as they all gave up on trying to help Dez and always thought he shouldn’t have been in the school. The last major person who let Dez down was his only family, his mother. His mother told him she loved him and thought she was the last person who actually wanted for him.
Although he was only an infant, just growing up and knowing that your parents put you on junk heap and left you there would tear you up on the inside. In addition, he didn’t have a significant male figure in his life to teach him how he should treat his family if he should have one. Every young male needs that in his life, just as a female needs a significant female figure in her life. He needs this male to tell teach him all that he had to learn. Without this guidance he didn’t have the slightest clue on how to treat his own family.
