As Ruth made her new life she married twice to two African Americans and had twelve kids. As her kids grew Ruth had many expectations towards them, she wanted them to graduate college and have a better life then she did. Ruth had so many expectations for her kids because she never had the chance to finish school because of her selfish dad who only wanted her to take care of her sick mother and the store they owned. Ruth never told her kids that she was Jewish or about her family she didn’t want them to know she would always ignore the question when her kids would ask her if she was white. Ruth would always tell them “mind your business” especially
Jenna’s mother and her get into arguments over Jenna asking her mother to watch her son. Jenna has to pay for daycare after school for him while she is at work and has little money to pay for additional daycare when she would be at college classes. Her mother says that she has raised her children and does not believe that she should have to help her daughter because she received no help with her children. Jenna has a 17 year old sister who does help with watching her son, but Jenna also feels guilty always having to ask her and has no money to pay her to watch her son. Jenna and her sister are close, her sister plans on attending college at the end of her senior year and wants to study to become a doctor.
So I can definitely say that in this event, she is not so happy about meeting her dad, in fact, she doesn’t even want him to come in to her life. I thought that she would actually never meet him ever again since they made a promise of each other that they would keep out of each other’s lives. But chapter eight tells me that family is crucial no matter what and they don’t have anyone else to rely on. In real life, also you can’t have anyone better to rely on than your family since your family I funds you when you need money and usually trusts and defends each other. On chapter eight, she hits a girl called Carly because she called Josie a ‘wog’.
In the play Rose says that growing up, her family was not close. She and her siblings did not have the same parents and she didn’t want that for her family with Troy. Rose wants to keep Troy and Cory close because she fears that if they wander too far away from her she will lose them and her family will become too similar to her childhood. Troy doesn’t understand why Rose wants the fence built because he never grasped that instead of keeping people out she just wanted to keep him in. Because he didn’t want it built in the first place, Troy doesn’t actually finish building the fence until very late in the play.
He also felt as if his father was hiding from him but I’d often tell John “your dad can hide from you, but he can’t hide from God.” I felt bad for john at times, but he didn’t have to live as a dwarf his whole life. Although I have both of my parents I sometimes wished that I could have a mother like Johns. She really cared about me yes I know my mother cares about me, but Johns mom goes to our games, she picks us up, and she gets involved in my school life. She even came to my house just to talk my parents into making me go to some stupid academy school. I guess you could say I somewhat had a crush on Mrs. Wheelwright which John was fully aware
College takes a great deal of money, and he did not have the money. Furthermore, his alcoholic mother is unable to send him to college because she lacks the finical ability to do so. When Richi says, “My plans, maybe just my dreams really, had been to go to college, and to write. All the other guys in the neighborhood thought I was going to college. I wasn’t, and the army was the place I was going to get away from all the questions”, this illustrates that Richi is
Bruno’s Mother is equally the blame for Bruno’s death as his Father because at the start she wouldn’t tell him where and why they were moving away from their house in Berlin, Germany. Because she wouldn’t tell him, it made him curious and wanted to explore around. Before moving to Out-with, Bruno’s Grandmother knew what her son would have to do, so she didn’t want him to go to Out-with in the first place, and she had said it was no place for young children to go, and because Bruno had no idea what was happening he had asked his father. But his father should have sat him down and explained what was happening, but Bruno didn’t know what his father’s job was so he was unable to say anything. While at Out-With, in Poland, Bruno’s mother payed hardly any attention to him, she would
Also, he points out that the parents were not allowed to get to close to the children, showing us that the children had no type of affection. The parents were not supposed to get close with the children because in most cases the children were going to die and they wanted the parents to be able to move right along. The author uses Aries’s Centuries of Childhood: A Social History of Family Life, a study of European attitudes toward childhood. By doing this enrichment assignment it enhanced my thought of how the Puritan children were treated. I never knew that the Puritan children did not have any childhood until I took this class.
But if I were to walk on the average U.S college campus for the first time I know I would stand out because I do look like I am Mexican. I may be Americanized but I can speak Spanish, When my grandma wants to hide something from my sisters she talks to me in Spanish because she knows they won't understand her. When I was little I wanted to learn Spanish so I could talk to my step grandpa because he didn't know any English what so ever I used to feel bad because he would talk to me and I would just look at him like if he was crazy. After I learned to speak Spanish I and he would have goof heart to heart moments and he would always give me advice growing up. Even though I don't
So when they met up again, Eva told him that she was going to have his baby. Eric obviously wanted to look after her as she was the woman having his child, but Eric didn’t have the money to pay for this. Consequently he went out to his father’s factory and knew his code to the safe and stole some money for Eva. Once she found out about this, she knew it would be wrong to accept the money from him, so Eric couldn’t support her no more. This lead to Eva Smith’s death as she couldn’t afford to live and had no hopes left after getting rejected from the cancel.
