Some Americans are lucky and do not have to rely on their families to help them after they get their own jobs. However, this is not a possibility for the working class poor. Many of Ehrenreich’s fellow workers rely heavily on family to meet their basic needs of housing, food, and help with childcare. Many Americans will put excessive demands on the family unit before going to the government for help. Ehrenreich only had herself to take care of. Many of her coworkers had to go home and take care of their children and household.

As a child, Jeannette’s sense of wonder and curiosity in the world undermine the need for money. During her young adult years, a new wave of insecurity associated with her poor past infects her. Finally, as an experienced and aged woman, Jeannette finds joy and nostalgia in cherishing her poverty- stricken past. It must be noted that no story goes without a couple twists and turns, especiallydefinitely not Jeannette Walls’. The fact of the matter is that growing up in poverty effectively craftsed, and transformsed her into the person she becomeshas become. While statistics and research show that living in poverty can be detrimental to a child’s self-esteem, Jeannette Walls encourages children living in poverty to have ownership over their temporary situation, and never to feel inferior because of past or present socio-economic

She also talks about how middle class parenting differs from the other social class. The middle class parents mostly dominate the lives of their children while the working class parents cannot concentrate that much on their kids. She also brought a name for this phenomena called “Concerted Cultivation”.

Anzaldúa recounts her experience growing up in a community where her Chicana culture wasn’t widely accepted. She would be punished for speaking the language her culture influenced to create a language, which corresponds to a way of life. In Gloria Anzaldúa’s “How to Tame a Wild Tongue” the variety of languages helps her compare, contrast and define her argument of the distinguished languages concerning her Chicana identity.

There may not be a more well-known comedy routine in the American consciousness than that of “Who’s on First?” by Bud Abbott and Lou Costello. The routine has been parodied, satirized and imitated by countless TV shows, movies, and theatre productions, and the joke has become almost a cultural shorthand for confusing situations.

In “Another Holiday for the Prince” by Elizabeth Jolley the author draws upon many themes, one in particular that Jolley illustrates is how poverty influences changes in the individual lives within one family. To begin with the head of the family; a father is never mentioned in the story, not even once. But by not having a father figure in the story the reader can understand a lot. In society the man is the one who earns the money and provides all the essentials for his family, however this story is presented in a society were the mother has to be the man of the family. Ones self-esteem can be diminished as a result of poverty, alienation; destructive effects of a week personality or society on the individual. The author effectively

Hispanic households, it particularly does well in showcasing the immense difficulty that women of the

In conclusion, in my own cultural and personal background that has contributed to these feelings, is the belief that power is knowledge, and also there is strength in the family. Due to family care, one can live longer than expected. For instance, if it were for the American families, they would have taken Lia to an institution, and she would not have lived those years she lives. The family care is so important, and it is what kept Lia alive for so

Sargent was a friend of the girls’ parents, Edward Darley Boit and Mary Louisa Cushing Boit. Edward Boit was a Harvard-trained lawyer, but left his profession to become a painter and Louisa Boit gained a large inheritance from her family who had the legacy of Boston’s China trade. Although they were originally from Boston, Louisa was a very social and vivacious woman who preferred to live in Europe rather than the United States and the painting was painted in France in their elegant house on the avenue of Friedland in the eighth arrondissement, a very luxurious neighborhood much preferred by wealthy Americans. Mr. and Mrs. Boit went to Sargent to paint the portrait of their daughters and when Edward and Louisa first approached Sargent to

However, when their mother came through the door and told them of a hungry family, the 4 women did not hesitate in giving away their luscious breakfast to those in need. The children delivered the food to the family and “a poor, bare, miserable room it was, with broken windows, no fire, ragged bedclothes, a sick mother, wailing baby, and a group of pale, hungry children cuddled under one old quilt, trying to keep warm”(24). The sisters realize what a harsh environment they live in, and because the setting is so pessimistic, they try to share the little wealth they have so that everyone may live long full lives. The setting in which they live, houses many people who have even less wealth than their own family. However, because of this dreadful place, they try and make sure that their community, or their family, is taken care of, even at the expense of their luxuries.

In Participatory Sense-Making, authors Hanne De Jaeger and Ezequiel Di Paolo discuss the concept of sense-making, or the interaction between the human mind and the environment around it that results in “the creation and appreciation of meaning” (De Jaeger and Di Paolo 488). Specifically, it addresses what occurs when two individuals converse and interact in a way that generates this meaning together, what De Jaeger and Di Paolo identify as participatory sense making. They argue that when placed into a social context, this sense making process becomes a separate entity from the two individuals, one with “a temporary form of autonomy” (De Jaeger and Di Paolo 492). For De Jaeger and Di Paolo, the fundamental aspect of cognition is the sense-making process.

The focus of my essay is doing a comparison between the two directors, Jerzy Grotowski and Anne Bogart, looking at Grotowski’s poor theatre and Anne Bogart’s ‘experimental’ theatre, and also looking at their directing styles, and comparing the two, and also wanting to investigate the influence Grotowski had on Anne Bogart’s directing style. Through this, the main focus of the essay will be looking at how each director, through their directing styles, both looked for ‘truth and depth’ from their actors, Bogart through experimentation and Grotowski through the concept of the ‘holy actor’, and investigating how each director successfully accomplished to achieve this respectfully. ‘Body culture and the training of the body is pivotal in the signification

For instance, family, and extended family members are always in close communication and participating in family events throughout their lives; grandparents share a closeness with their grandchildren in sharing history and traditions (Chile: Family Life, 2017). Thus, their attitudes are reflective in their thoughts, decision, and actions to ensure the family unit remains intact and in the center of their lives. Secondly, the people of Chile value religion as research suggest due to over 75 percent identify themselves being religious over 85 percent are Catholic (Chile: Religion, 2017). Thirdly, education is valued and seen as a potential pathway to creating equality and furthering the reduction in poverty in Chile (Kretzschmar, 2014). According to Kretzschmar (2014), “Another key strategy of poverty alleviation was the improvements in education” (p. 4). Thus, Kretzschmar (2014) makes an excellent point, on how the positive impact of education will affect the Chilean society. Also, there is the value placed on education by the government that goes beyond primary and secondary schooling, through an initiative called “Chile Grows With You” which is designed for children from birth to five years to receive affordable early education programs (Peralta,

Secondly, it will discuss the economic institution and its ties to the family. The use of labour power and how that effects the power struggle with the capitalist marketplace will also be discussed. Lastly, the political institution of government will be shown along with its relationships to the family and the families ability to create reform and change regulation.
