If his parents had a more normal and peaceful relationship, the outcomes would not have been so extreme. For example, having a stable family creates a healthier, more open and secure environment. Instead, Chris started to develop a distant relationship with his parents because of one of the choices the dad made, maintained two relationships. In addition, when a family relationship is in a chaotic stage, it will affect how the person treats other people. The person would be more distant, distrustful, self-sufficient, etc. That is, what Chris ended up to be when he decided to

I believe counseling is a collaborative partnership between client and counselor. Furthermore, this collaborative partnership is built from trust and acceptance of both client and counselor. I hope in conjunction with clients to understand the issues and concerns so to help them tap into their wisdom, creativity, and strengths to meet their current challenges. I believe in a comprehensive perspective through which clients can better comprehend themselves in the framework that our thinking about events can lead to emotional and behavioral upset. Moreover, counselors are to provide a safe environment for clients to explore their challenges and identify ways to move differently in overcoming these challenges.

The fundamental factor, that determines the differences in the boy’s lives, is whether their parents constantly agree with one another or not. Warren's parents always act as one unit; “his parents [board] him at school”, “[t]hey blushed” or “the meagre acreage that bore them down”. In every case, they are seen as a singular force, which makes decisions together. On the other hand, the Professor's parents could not act more differently. The mother keeps her house in “immaculate order” while the father leaves his room in ”disruptive chaos”. They are polar opposites, the “mother [is] of the sea” and of the physical world, while the father “[is] of the ... book” and of knowledge and learning. The biggest difference is that of the parents’ tolerance. The mother does not accept her daughters’ husbands as they “[are] not of her people”, while the father allows his children to chose their own paths in life. The father “never [tells his children] to do anything,... only [asks]”. It is this differences of opinions that allows the Professor to follow his dreams. Since Warren's parents always

One afternoon at lunchtime, Laurie “spoke insolently to his father” (Jackson 345), yet his parents did not seem to be taken aback by this disrespect. Laurie’s parents were not shaping Laurie at this time; they should have had a lecture with him about being compassionate. Furthermore, his parents were focusing remarkably on what Charles has been doing, while not focusing on what Laurie had been doing. For example, he knocked over his sister’s milk, while his parents did not do anything to educate Laurie about courtesy. Another instance of this occurrence was when Laurie called his father dumb. After hearing this, helpful parents would give a lesson about discipline to their children. However, this did not occur. At the same time, the family continued to discuss Charles’s wrongdoings. In addition, Laurie had an infant sibling that had no communication skills to act as a leader for Laurie. Therefore, Laurie’s family had an immensely large role of guidance in his

Everyone started to see that he was turning into a bad guy. He had a bad temper. He didn’t want to listen to what others had to say. He started out in the story with being well-respected and also self-made. But things happened in the story that made him change the way that he act. Internally inside him, he had fear. He had a fear that he was going to turn out like his father. He was also lazy, unable to support his family. He also considered his father’s characteristics to be feminine.
