Within the memoirs of “This Boy’s Life, “The Other Wes Moore” and “Those Winter Sunday’s, the fathers in the first two stories were abusive to their wives. The mothers were somewhat tolerant at first then decided to find a better way of living for both herself and her child. In the third story, there was only a father, so the parent in that story was portrayed differently. The mothers in the first two stories grew up differently. The first mother was born and raised in the U.S and the second mother was born in Jamaica and came to the U.S at age 3. Although both mothers had different upbringings, and were parents during different times, their values were the same. It was important for them to show their child(ren) right from wrong. It was also

The men noticed her firm buttocks like she had grape fruits in her hip pockets; the great rope of black hair swinging to her waist and unraveling in the wind like a plume; then her pugnacious breasts trying to bore holes in her shirt. They, the men, were saving with the mind what they lost with the eye. (2)

“I promise to live with you and laugh with you; to stand by your side, and to sleep in your arms; to be joy to your heart, and food for your soul; to always make you, you”(Spelling 242).When you are a kid, you don't worry about what anyone thinks. Stori Telling, an autobiography of Tori Spelling, is a hilarious autobiography about her over-the-top first wedding to finding new love to her much-publicized -- and misunderstood -- “disinheritance,” and how she makes wrong decisions in her life, and will blame others for the unhappiness in her life but it seems like most of her unhappiness is self-created and self-perpetuated.

During his early infrequent visits, he attempts to divert his mother 's senility and return her to the present. Hence, when he sits with her in a hospital, surrounded by the stench of illness, he relates much better to her situation and wonders where his fierce and confident mom vanished. So forth, it is in this whitewashed facility that it dawns on him that in essence, his mom had lost her happiness way before her mind had wandered and it irks him that he had not perceived that. Ironically, his mother, who is sitting in the same environment of doom, is oblivious to her bleak surroundings and is able to return to a place of serenity; her glorious past with wonderful memories. In contrast, Tillie Olsen sets a scene of a mother ironing in a warm and cozy environment with the happy banter of children in the backdrop. Thus, She portrays an image of a loving and prosperous rearing, of offspring. Yet, the opposite holds true and the same kid that is raised in this wonderful environment was not protected in her early years. In fact, Emily did not always have a stable home with parents who were available to her. In addition, the time frame of post depression and war era entwine the two stories. Both occurrences illustrate the harsh times that both

The story's introduction begins with long, coherent sentences. Yet, at the end, the sentences become shorter and harder to understand. This is an indicator of the narrator's mental deterioration, and her inability to be aware of her surroundings. The spectator's perspective of the woman quickly begins to dissipate as they continue to read, inciting an interest of what's to become of her as the story progresses. In addition, the story’s use of dramatic irony also helps build a sense of excitement and suspense.

This friend, nevertheless, wrote her the letters which traversed an invisible barrier of decorum with reciprocal accord and convincing pretext. The writer, however—a religious and devoted man—depletes himself with fever; his ultimate dishonesty trembled, and the candle shivered in the night-swaddled room. In her eyes, he viewed his interminable picture; love which became refracted, doing hundreds of his temporal

her senses, but he refused to let her go. He pulled her closer to him

When I was growing up, I remember my family situation as extremely chaotic. I was one of eight children and my father and mother had little time to devote to me individually. Most of the time they spent trying to earn enough to support us with their meager resources. I was often called upon to act as a surrogate mother to my siblings. I felt I had little time to develop my own unique perspective and voice when I was very young. Even as a preschooler I remember doing chores to help out at home. However, this situation did foster some positive aspects of my character. I learned to be mature at an early age and gained a sense of competence because of my responsibilities. But I also was taught put the needs of others second to my own. I feel that I did not learn to value my own, legitimate desires to an adequate degree as a young girl and have only recently acquired a true sense of worth [THESIS].

One's dream and aspirations to supersede in life must be stronger and greater than limitations set forth by others. The experience that were bestowed to me during my short life has elevated me to the woman I am today. Please walk with me as I give you the opportunity to see the world from my eyes:

Ursula was not prepared for their program. She was the only female in a school of mostly white men. The school existed outside of her comfort zone, in a different borough of New York. She had to take additional classes to catch up with her peers. For probably the first time in her life, she doubted herself and her decision to enter this prestigious school. But she was a quick study, and after switching her major from chemical engineering to mechanical engineering, she found her way. (Burns, Ursula M. Burns, n.d.)

This explains the beginning of my life all the way to the end of my life. My life from the beginning was very fun as I grew up living with my mom’s friend and my friend. But there were a lot of fights and I was very hyper back then. I have ADHD so back then when I was little; I was very hyper and wouldn't stop moving around the place. I always was annoying back then and never seemed to get my homework done at school.
