How does Hill convey relationships in the novel King of the Castle? Hill is describing Kingshaw’s relationship with his mother as not a good one. We see this as Kingshaw is thinking back to his past experiences with his mother, “He wished she were dead instead of his father”. Here Hill is trying to portray that Kingshaw’s mother is an extremely unlikable person and a terrible parent. Here, Kingshaw’s mother is trying to treat both the boys with equal respect.“I shall not make a favourite of my own child”, which is conveyed to the reader constantly as throughout the novel as her respect for her own child declines as her feelings for Mr Hooper increases .
So, there are many examples of not thinking for yourself and thinking for youself in this novel. In the novel the main character is Guy Montag and his wife Mildred Montag, and Mildred is the one who should be thinking for herself. She is letting the government get to her head, and everything they say she believes. Even though she is married to Montag, she thinks that the "parlor walls are her family" (Bradbury 49). Montag is her family, but she doesn't consider him as much as a family compaired to the parlor walls.
Although some parts in the Husband’s Message demonstrate the similar features of an epic poem, I do not suppose that it is an epic story because it does not contain enough characteristics that are seen in epic stories in common. The poem is a quest story in which the speaker has traveled to his lord’s wife to deliver a message. The lord, or the husband of the wife, is away from his home because he was forced to leave during a feud, a cruel vendetta and he is now seeking her wife to travel to where he is and join him. It follows the trait of an epic hero that he faces some obstacles or difficulties. Also, the story is set in wartime as most epic stories are.
Kathryn Sonnie Poetry Essay- Final Draft Comp 111 N24 November 13, 2012 Kelly Cherry’s “Alzheimer’s” People who read Kelly Cherry’s Alzheimer can interpret the poem differently because people have different backgrounds. Someone who has been personally affected by a family member who has this disease can understand what Cherry has experienced. Her experience comes from dealing with her father’s fight with Alzheimer’s. But someone who never seen or experienced the devastating effects on a loved one would think that she was disrespecting her father by calling him crazy.

Lastly, the fathers expectations of two characters does not align with the mothers, yet in one piece of literature the mother expected exactly what the father wished. The feeling of not conforming to societal and parental expectations and not being appreciated condemns youth into believing they are worthless and negatively affects their outlook on life. “Brother Dear” and “A Cap for Steve” both deal with the raw issue of parents not accepting children’s ambitions in life. The two main characters have different goals yet both goals resembled the life that they wish to live at that time. Greg, from the short story “Brother Dear,” does not desire to attend university and become a man of business yet that is all his father wants for him.
McCandless believes that his parents are fake. They really represent what Chris hates about society. One of the reasons he was so mad at them and despised them so much was that he had found that his dad had a wife before his mother. And that his dad had also had kids with that wife. He figures this out when visiting his old home in California.
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.

His parents actions when he was young left him with the idea that love and relationships are horrible and all it does is hurt us, he felt as if it’s not worth going through the pain and stress. He only saw the bad sides of love, and because of that, he kept himself from everyone; he never realised the good sides of love until later on in his life. Another main contrast between the two poems, is guilt. In both poems the poets both feel guilt, but in different ways. Harrison, who had a good and loving family life, felt guilty about the way he treated his father when mourning.
She knew this about herself and was highly criticized for it. This means that she failed to be objective in several instances.A few good poems to use to capture her struggle with relationships might be these: "Mirror","By Candlelight" ,"Mary's Song".
