How Did Grandma Characterize Her Grandmother?

I enjoyed reading your interview with your Grandmother, she sounds so much like my Grandmother. How she grew up also sounds a lot like how I grew up, just different times. We didn’t have a lot of money but we were happy. My Mother worked her whole life and still works today, she had lots of trouble raising four children until she met my Dad who adopted us. I remember we were getting canned food delivered to our trailer at one point before she met my Dad. It all changed when my Dad found my Mom and married her and took on all four of us. For some reason, I couldn’t help but to remember making mud pies and building forts in our yard. That was one thing we did have was a huge back yard with a fence, so we would pretend the yard was our ocean full of sharks. We would climb around the fence and if we fell, we got eaten by the sharks. For some reason this interview made me think of those great memories.

The Puritans viewed themselves as God's special people. Nowhere do the dangers of this assumption become clearer than in the Puritans' treatment of the Native Americans. Since the Puritans considered themselves God's chosen people, they concluded that they had the right to take the land from the heathen Indians. The American Indians were the "new Canaanites" in America's "Promised Land." The fruit of Puritan theology was brutal. They saw their mission as convert these "Canaanites" to Christianity; failing that, it was acceptable to slaughter them in the name of Christ. There were many conflicts between settlers and natives throughout the colonial period. Religion played a very important role in both Puritan and Native American society, though

As we know Agriculture Revolution started approximately ten thousand years ago. Ten thousand years ago humans did not have fancy cars, TV, laptops, nice clothing, or any other expensive material things for that matter. The first and only priority known to men and women was food (Giroud,1995). Before the first crops grown by man to produce wheat that started the farming innovations, there were hunter/gather roles for collecting food. The roles of a hunter was taken by the males (Miller,1985), and the role of gathers was taken by the females who also stayed at home to take care of the children’s. I believe the strength of men to hunt was the real reason that men held more power than women through time. After the power was gone to the men, it was hard for women to get it back, which is where the power struggle began for women. Even after things got easier to produce food, which could have been taken care off by a women to take back to power from males, but by then it was too late (Giroud,1995). The effects of back in the day are still passed down to this day. Men did undermined women; it was believed that women technically couldn’t do the same jobs as men because they are simply not capable of it. Some can say that it was a situation that took place a long time ago, but many still believe that some men still think men and women are not equal in today’s modern society. Believe it or not, hunters for males and gathers for females shaped what sex has the power in our society

When referring to the narrator gaining confidence from her grandmother’s deception, I don’t believe it compromised the value of the lesson that the narrator learned from her. This is because, since she was young when she learned this lesson, I don’t think it was much of a deception. As a child, she was able to learn how to swim thanks to her grandmother. This also gave her confidence to be proud of who she was and how she looked. In the rest of the story, the narrator seemed extremely grateful to have had her grandmother be a significant role model. The narrator did not focus too much on her grandmother pretending to swim when she could not. Overall, the grandmother shouldn’t be blamed for deceiving the narrator since she was able to teach

Why does this have to happen to the best of us. My grandma was and still is the greatest grandma ever.She gave me everything I could bargain for. She would take to amusement parks,And we would make sweets with my cousin and I would never want to leave.Also my most memorable Easter was with her and she gave me a stuffed bunny rabbit and at the time it was as big as me.She has given me a live fighting for.

This book makes bad behavior seem funny and hence encourages young children to emulate the behavior. I hoped and hoped and hoped the the boy would see the error of his ways but he doesn't. He allows his friend to "take one for the team" when he doesn't come clean about terrorizing the kindergarteners. He thinks its ok that Grandma's house got TPed for something he did becuase she's retired and has nothing better to do then clean up the mess anyway. At every turn this kid makes the wrong choices, blames someone else, hopes he won't get caught next time and there are no real consequences for his actions. His last little act of kindness, at the end of the book, did nothing to make up for all the poor choices he made throughout the book. Would

There are 4,200 religions in the world that people worship. Each religion different from the next, but there is a catch. Most religions have one thing is common, that all of them believe in a being of divine or super power. The Grandma is this story references praying to God a lot when conversing with the Misfit. Her pleads for the Misfit to pray touches on a large theme, God’s grace. The Grandma tries to convince the Misfit that everyone can be saved by God’s grace by saying, “‘Why you’re one of my babies. You’re one of my own children’” (O’Connor 28). Even with the catastrophic ending of this text, the Misfit did achieve some level of grace. This level of grace is seen in the Misfit because before the whole family is slaughtered he says,

The familiar smell of soft cookies and homemade cooking are common thoughts when people think about their grandma's house. Great feasts and family gatherings play a part in everyone's grandmother's home. But when I really think about my grandma's house only one word comes to my mind: fun.

For this quiz I had my grandma take it with me. According to my answers the colors I scored the most points on blue, then it was white. I only received a few points for red and weirdly enough I didn’t receive any points for yellow. Some of the words in the yellow category described me, yet the words in the other categories described me better. I personally agree with me being more of a blue. I tend to pay attention to detail and can be emotional. One word that I feel like describes me from the blue category is the word or phrase worry prone. In my life I tend to worry about many different things pretty much. What I worry about more than I should is my homework. I always worry that I am going to do poorly on homework or a test. Something else from the blue category that describes me is how I react to failing. For the most part I dwell on my failing. It stays in my thoughts for way too long even though I know that I can’t change what happened. So that was what I thought about my

my forehead and down my cheeks paired with my kind, warm eyes filled with knowledge and wisdom. I'm just your typical grandma, except of course, for the fact that I'm only 5 years old. You may think my life right now would be difficult, but if only you knew how my first couple years of life were. I mean, it was hard enough trying to wobble on 2 feet over to mom's open arms, but imagine doing that with a back problem!

“I’d walk through hell in a gasoline suit to play baseball.” - Pete Rose, one of the greatest players to ever step foot on a baseball field, couldn't have said it better. I would do anything to play baseball because to me it’s just the most important thing in life.

At just over five feet tall, she was the kind of woman that you saw on the street and knew to move out of her way. Her demeanor was strict, her hands tied with thick blue veins, criss­crossing over her thin, frail fingers.

Growing up all the way across the country from my Grandma, there has been one phrase that she repeatedly says and has been stuck in my head for years. Whenever someone complains, or when there’s a bad situation, she always would say “it is what it is”. To me this phrase has a great deal of meanings and has always been words I live by. This phrase also has most likely been instilled in me because I look up to my Grandma more than anyone else, and I see her a very wise woman.

My grandmother’s home and family life is one that she is very proud of as she was raised in a loving home and continued that nurturing motherhood role as she had a family of her own. Violet met her husband Harold through friends in their surrounding area, and dated only him until the time they got married. Without social media and the easy access to vehicles and transportation, majority of the people who married in her generation already met their spouses at a young age due to proximity and school grades sharing the same classroom. She married Harold Mann at the age of sixteen in the town Cana and together they began their life together. They had six children, three boys and three girls all of whom worked on the family farm and helped doing the household chores. The job tasks in my grandmother’s home were very similar to the one’s she experienced growing up as a child; the girls did the inside chores with my grandmother while the boys helped out with the farming and machining responsibilities with my grandfather. Although the work tasks were different for the boys and girls, the expectations remained the same for all; they were to complete their chores with no complaining and appreciate everything their parents provided for them. All of her children attended elementary and high school, with two of her six children accomplishing graduation. The rest of her children attended to the needs of the farm and carried out those responsibilities as opposed to finishing school.
