When they were about to leave the place someone came and put there arm around Abbey and it didn’t tell what she did till the next chapter. To tell you the truth I really didn’t want to read it because I was scared something bad was going to happen. It turned out she just bit him really hard and it worked! The book was odd because some of the stuff just didn’t make any sense to me like why they snuck out of the house so may times. And when the father didn’t want to get out of jail it made no sense because he could have gotten bailed out!

Although this is not an essay critiquing Ed`s parenting, much of Christopher’s challenges of growing up attribute to this thus contributing to Christopher’s character. Ed does not always make the greatest choices when it comes to parenting case and point would be when Ed finds out Christopher has learned of the affair and has taken Christopher’s book from him. Ed hid the book in his closet causing Christopher to go looking for it which unleashes Pandora’s Box, the after math of finding his mother’s letters showed Christopher in a new light dealing with emotions he has never had before and not know what to do with them ``I did it for your own good, Christopher.

Since Odysseus left to go to war, he unintentionally neglected the chance to have a bonding partnership with his son Telemachus and a marital relationship with his wife Penelope. By remembering the family he has waiting for him at home, Odysseus does his best to seek a way home. Enchantress Circe informs him that “in order to reach home he must journey to the land of the dead, Hades, and consult the blind prophet Tiresias” (Homer.1.1064). In contrast to Odysseus, Edward lacks a relationship with his wife and son because he travels a lot. Unlike Odysseus, Edward has a better chance of improving the family connection he lacks because he is home from time to time.

The villagers are blinded by tradition that they do not see the cause of their actions. Tradition and rituals are basically stoning a human to death and in this case Tessie Hutchinson who is chosen among the villagers.
Today, we hear stories about the holocaust and we learn about it in global history, but we have didn’t live through it so we cannot relate to how the people felt as they were living through it. Reading the section of the book Night makes me wonder why the Jews didn’t rebel against the Hungarian and German officers but then I realize that rebelling would just get them killed. This portion of the book makes me think of my great grandfather because my grandpa would tell me stories about my great grandfather’s life in Ireland and how he had lived in terrible living conditions because he didn’t have a lot of money. Just hearing about my great grandfathers living conditions when he lived in Ireland makes me realize how terrible the Jews living in the holocaust had been because just hearing about my great grandfathers life makes me realize how much worse living in the holocaust would be because they were living in unsanitary places, did not have much food and were treated horribly and this affected all of the Jews in
