It gives a person stability in a world where everything seems to be continually changing. Identity is not only what others view you as being but also how you view yourself as being. The tradition in my tribe has shaped who I am. My parents too, taught me many things just by raising me. The moral values that they taught me I will always remember.
Growing up Dee was the one that got to attend school in Augusta because Mama and the community raised the money for her to go. Maggie barely has an education because she was not chosen to go to school Dee was though. Maggie is not resentful toward them about it she has simply moved on. As Dee is ransacking through the trunk Maggie gets upset. Maggie knows she deserves the quilts made by her grandmother and aunt far more than Dee does but of course Dee thinks that everything is about her and that she should have what she wants.
Also, my family and I always have dinner together and that’s the time that we all talk about what’s going on in our lives. I believe this tradition should always be carried out because this is the only time some families can come together. Another way I spend time with my family, is we do creative things together like, skating, going to the park, grilling out, camping, bowling and many other things. I also believe that you need to start teaching your children when they are young, about the true meaning of family values. I have taught my children the importance of sharing and to always help each other out.
‘I’m not hungry and I don’t want it wasted.’” (Pg. 16) She also helped her neighbor, Weaver’s mama, to look after Emmie the widowed mother as well. “I packed Tommy and Jenny off to school, hoping that by the time I got to the Hubbards’, Weaver’s mamma would already be there. She was better at getting Emmie out from under the bed than I was.” (Pg. 18) Jennifer Donnelly is showing that no matter how unpleasant the task may be that neighbors look after each
Maggie lives her culture everyday and does not need physical objects to remind her of her highly valued beliefs and traditions. When Dee returned to her mother’s home for a visit, immediately after greeting her mother and sister, she began taking Polaroid’s of the house, the pasture with cows, and Maggie and her mother. While sitting at dinner, she was fascinated by the homemade benches her father had made when the family could not afford to purchase chairs. She asked her mother if she could have the butter churn top to use as a centerpiece for her table. The most significant objects in the story, which Dee wanted to have, are the two hand sewn quilts that were created by Grandma and Aunt Dee.
Parents are the ultimate authority when it comes down to what their children eat. Of course they can’t all always see what their children eat, but if they teach them healthy eating habits they’re less likely to go for the wrong food choice. (junk food) “encourage these kinds of simple polices in the home, they might make some progress against the purveyors of fat food and cholesterol.” (Wientraub paragraph 6) Parents tell their children what to eat from birth they might as well teach them healthy eating habits. Exercise should be an essential part of life. Parents should teach their children good exercise habits as well.
INTRODUCTION: John and Terri Pollock owned and operated a small wholesale bakery operation in Charlotte, North Carolina. Instead of making many different kinds of products, they wanted to focus just on brownies and make them gourmet.

This line from " The Hunger Games" expresses Peeta's true love towards Katniss and also clarifies why Peeta gave Katniss the bread on that hollow day. When I first read about Peeta's kind act, I thought he gave bread just for helping some random people. But I didn't even thought he had feelings for her because from the beginning Katniss is unlike normal girls. She didn't like to be a typical girl, she wasn't attracted to anybody. So I thought no one gonna fall in love with Katniss.
Heritage is an important part of everyone’s life. My family and I follow some of the traditions that have been passed down from generations to generations. For example, we cook things a certain way simply because that was the way grandma cooked it. Furthermore, people tend to hold their tradition and heritage over anything else. They feel it is necessary for them to continue their customs and will not do anything differently.
But, we have to keep the traditions because our roots are in our traditions. The traditions give us context, bring us the rules, and reinforce our sense of belonging. Therefore, we should try our best to protect the traditional instead of rejecting them. Firstly, the traditions represent the beginning of our lives. Every person has his or her own traditions.
