People are struggling to survive everyday because they have no food and shelter. These people may always dig through the trash to find something to eat for the day, not knowing if they will find anything. Families may always live in horrible conditions, having no other choice, because they do not have enough money. It’s extremely hard for them to find well paying jobs in these countries. For most of these people it’s nearly impossible to get out of poverty because they were born and raised in that culture, unless other people who aren’t in poverty help them out.
Matt now has a son, a good wife, and an ordinary life; he still has a good family life without going to university. In contrast with Kate, although she has good education and job, she doesn’t have her own family and in fact, she says, “I had never thought I would really love anyone.” (89) From another perspective, she seems to be the one that is going to have a sad life. Similar with Luke, when he rejects Sally it is due to his responsibility as a caregiver. He is happy with his decision since it is for his family. If Matt chooses to go to university instead and leaves Marie, he will most likely lose his happiness and truly be an emotionless “nerd” and suffers like Kate who does not truly knows the meaning of love.
Children are hindered by these kinds of schools, teachers and peers lay a big role in the children’s lives. Some teachers are there for the income it will bring into their house hold and not the well-being of the child and students are pressued by their peers into thinking that education is lame and for losers. In most cases this is what children of low income go through but not all. Many may not realize that the surroundings of children may sometimes affect their future. Being raised in a low income area surrounded by people living the same lifestyle as you as if struggling is the norm of society.
Roosevelt’s upbringing did and didn't make it easy for him to understand the concerns and fears of ordinary Americans. The worries and fears for ordinary American's were things such as 'am I going to lose my house', 'will I lose my job' and 'where is my next meal coming from'. Roosevelt's upbringing didn't help because he was an only child in a rich family . This didn't help because he was pampered by his mother and got everything he wanted. He was educated at home so he had no real idea of what life was like outside of his family which may of created an ignorance to what was going on around him.
Over the course of the story he learns that he has known no genuine hardship in his life and that occasionally having less pocket money than he would like is as nothing compared to the suffering of some of his countrymen. He is certainly treated differently than the other prisoners but more because of the money that is behind his education and social class than because of the education and social class themselves: He and his parents are able to pay for him to be better treated, allowed to bathe, and allowed to visit and eat with his family. 2. The sister has seemingly spent her life being compared unfavorably with her handsome, charismatic brother: “When my mother took us to the market, traders would call out, ‘Hey! Madam, why did you waste your fair skin on a boy and leave the girl so dark?
His father and mother were quite different from one another, while they both influenced Carnegie from different point of views. His father was a weaver, before he was laid off, while his mother was the type of woman to do anything to make sure the family was financially stable. Andrew couldn’t help but admire both his figures, but he also had envy and a few bits of dislike towards them. He was always made the odd one out, as his parents always took a more liking to his older brother. Such other influences such as their family’s poverty and lack of opportunities has made him realize that he didn’t want to live such a life, as he got older.
Wshington Irving is fairly considered as one of the masters of storytelling. According to Jeffrey Rubin-Dorsky,, author of “The Value of Storytelling: ‘Rip Van Winkle’ and ‘The Legend of the Sleepy Hollow’ in the Context of ‘The Sketch Book’”, Irving’s “The Legend of the Sleepy Hollow” has been heard, read, and staged by generations of children and adults 393). At the heart of the story is a romantic opposition between a boringly traditional, self-centered schoolmaster Ichabod Crane and a strong, straightforward and young Brom van Brunt (Brom Bones) in their fight for the heart of 18-year-old Katrina Van Tassel. This romantic opposition has far-reaching social, cultural and political implications. Having been written in a period of social transition from the old to new traditions, the story reflects a conflict between the glorious but obscure past and simple but practical and pragmatic present.
As a “scholarship boy” he allows himself to be embarrassed of where he came from and that his parents were not as educated as his teachers. Rodriguez separates himself from his family and emerges himself in his academic pursuits. In doing this, Rodriguez was sad. Even though he was a successful student he felt a lack of confidence. My own view is that Rodriguez did love his parents, just did not know how to deal with the two different worlds of family and schooling.
Every labouring worker should have a thorough education so that he/she can give to society their knowledge and produce, other than their professional experience in a certain occupational field. A tailor, who has spent his whole life mastering that occupation because he is bred into it, loses his job due to the low demand for that certain skill. His only option here is to find another skill and job that can support him, but with his limited knowledge, the chances of landing him a job in another division of work is very slim to none. Through the illustration of this example, we can see that
Therefore, he has to work hard to be able to marry them off because for “an electrician and mechanic, no matter how light-fingered, there seemed no question of marrying them all off.” The pay he gets from Harouni is not sufficient, so Nawabdin uses his skills to earn money from his neighbours and villagers and favours from his master. This desire of earning more and more leaves him with an empty soul which cannot extend even a sympathetic gesture to those who are beneath him. “Nawabdin Electrician” does not celebrate the feudal culture it portrays. It is possible to see here a mild social critique of an utterly corrupt system. In this unjust society where have’s and have not’s are widely apart, the story demonstrate in clear terms that everyone here has to resort to some illegal or corrupt way to survive in the society.
