But no matter how much she and her husband strived, they could not scrape together enough money to make their dream a reality. As they go through trying times the eventify they come together as a family because by the end they realized being together was most important. They are still strong individuals but together they prove they are a strong family. Throughout the book the Younger family is constantly arguing about what Mama should do with the ten thousand dollars she inherited from her husband. “I-I just seen my family fall apart today…. Just falling into pieces in front of my eyes we couldn’t have gone on like we were today (Hansberry91)” Mama is trying to tell her family that these arguments about the money are tearing her family apart.

In William Faulkner’s As I Lay Dying, the Bundren family embarks on a journey to lay their dead wife and mother, Addie, to rest in a coffin built by one of their own. The family members each have obstacles they face in addition to grieving for their lost loved one, some physical, some mental, some more serious than others. However, could it be possible that Addie’s death has brought the family closer in the corpse’s journey to her resting place? The journey to Jefferson latched on more obstacles to the family’s feet, but they were able to overcome them in the end and reach their destination. However, despite having each other, in the very end, perhaps the family remained more divided, as there was already the weight of poverty and Addie’s death

For instance, when she was at home alone, “At home it was different. Those long quiet mornings in the house still gave me pleasure,” but whenever this silence was interrupted, “tension and shame accompanied them” (Grealy 93). Especially when Lucy was around her family because since she wasn’t able to detect what she was unhappy about within the complicated family relationship they shared, she felt that everything started with her and that it was her fault. When Lucy was at the hospital with her father, there was a feeling of a comforting relief every time he left, “I watched his back as he left and felt relief” because when he left, the “embarrassment and awkwardness” (Grealy 85) that Lucy’s father felt, was the same as hers. That relief of being left alone during a difficult time is comforting because it becomes a time that’s just for you and your thoughts. There’s no looks of judgement or pity written across faces, just the comfort of the surroundings around

The Andersons, especially the father, has not fully let go of Marth. Martha’s settings are still placed on the table every time the family has a meal as if she were a living person. The Andersons cannot fully let go of Martha’s presents. Again, with the theme of loss, they do not want Martha alone in death; But most importantly, them themselves, cannot forget Martha as a living mother. This is differently than Joe’s story.

My mother is a sweetheart. She is known for her little giggles even when she is just talking casually with someone. She is light skinned, brown curly hair and brown eyes and talks very softly. Sometimes she is so soft spoken that I hardly hear what she is saying. It’s a family laugh when no one can hear what she is trying to say. I sincerely thank my mother for all that she has done for not only myself, but for my two brothers. She is very often complimented for raising, “such great boys”, as many would

(4 points) The McDonald and Miller families couldn’t have been more different. The Millers were a larger family of seven and very strict and orderly people. They valued hobbies such as crafts and rock polishing, and less on athletics. Norbert Miller was a preacher so the family was exposed to many interesting people, but also didn’t live on much, meaning Martha and her four other sisters shared one bedroom.

"Don't give up in times of difficulty. Persevere on as there will be an end to these. "Just as Edward said you can not give up in times of difficulty but have to persevere through them. This is exactly what John and Martha had to do. In the story "Lost boy, Lost girl" there was a Civil war that broke out in Sudan causing all the people to leave, including Martha and John.

Joe is an orphan and he has no history. All he remembers are violence, abuse, and neglect with his step-father and it results in making a lot of conflict in his life. The past that he does not know proves to take up so much his life, therefore; makes him to resist his identity. On the other hand, Lala knows all of her family history and remembers everything that happened in the past. And obviously their past is totally different as Lala has not suffered from not knowing her own family’s history.

The ability of the father to carry on with life after his son's death is one part of the stereotype that pertains to the male figure. The male character is suppose to be someone who does not cry, someone who is full of inner strength and is the central rock for all those around him in a time of crisis. The husband in "Home Burial" fulfills these requirements. After the burial, he continues on with his daily chores and attends to the various needs of the farm. These actions are not ones of denial but acceptance. He knows that he and his wife must carry on with their lives after an appropriate period of mourning is over. Understandably, his vision of the length of that time period is considerably shorter than his wife's. He understands that life is for the living and not for the dead. He understands that his son is dead. He also understands that he cannot force these views on his wife, because she must come to her own conclusions and find her own closure to her son's death.

The memory of my mother will follow me wherever I go, and however far living my dreams with a gentle scent of her perfume and the shimmering of her laugh. She was there to show me how much she cared and She was there when I made my first steps. She taught me to smile and laugh.
