I Hate You But Do You Love Me

Jeannette and her dad started to grow apart. He was always leaving and not really there for Jeannette and his family. He would leave for days and wasn’t really working. Jeannette started to learn that his dad’s actions weren’t really smart. She started to see his lack of responsibility and what his actions are doing and what they lead to. She knew that her father had a drinking problem and would always go to the bar. Jeannette realizes that Rex keeps letting her down because he still continued to drink and gets drunk. Jeannette was at a breaking point and she asked her mom to leave her father. But her father still has his moments when they would still bond together when she is older .Every birthday he would give her a star and she would love it. But at the end of the day, Jeannette loved her

The Last example, is through dialogue. In the beginning of the story she always talked to her mother with great respect and honor, but she slowly started to see her mother as a weak figure and someone not to look up to. She constantly told her mother to get a job and support the family and even to leave Rex. She also changed the way she addressed her father, she always looked up to him and asked him to tell her stories, but after her father broke her birthday promise to stop drinking she never treated him the same. One example is when she got into a fight with her father for disrespecting her

Establish that your character had a poor relationship with his or her parents (provide text details!)

Jeannette says”I have been counting on Mom and Dad to get us out, but I know I had to do it on my own”( Walls 221) This clearly shows how that if she wanted to leave she had to do it herself instead of relying on her parents. She learned how to save money from this experience and for the first time doing things for oneself. Before this everything she was done was been in place of what her parents , but now she has a goal that she has set and not something that has forced on her.All in all, this experience taught her not to rely on other people to help her get out of a situation. The last example that I have is where they all ended up in the end. For Lori she became a freelance article that specializing in fantasy while Brain became a member of the police force and Jeanette became a journalist ( Walls 274). In the end all three of them manage to realize their goals and got what they wanted through their hard work. In addition to that they manage to use all the skills that they learned for their childhood in the adult lives. Out of all of them the only one that turned out bad was Maureen and that was from her being treated differently than the

Jeanette’s father is a man that is extremely smart in science and math, and an amazing storyteller, however he drinks/smokes way too much and can be very abusive. Her mother is a religious and tough woman, who could live with basically any situation and will go through with something until it is done. Jeanette’s tone to her parents, however, is not of happiness, but instead sadness, because of the father’s behaviors, and her mother’s stubbornness to stay with him. The tone towards their actions from Jeanette is dismay, because for almost all of their actions, both her mother and father don’t think about the consequences before they

Recommendation to the South Should the South leave the Union? Yes, the South should leave because the events of the 1850s are only making the disagreement on slavery worse.

One event why the South should leave the Union is because of the Compromise of 1850.

Cathy, the twin’s mother, insists that there is only evil in the world, and immersed herself into taking advantage of other people’s flaws and weaknesses. Cathy also had that freedom of choice, but she always made the wrong decision and remained the totally evil character throughout the novel.

Jeannette is the narrator of her memoir, telling her story from age three into adulthood. As a child she is adventurous, wild-hearted, and Dad 's favorite. Jeannette, a middle sibling, is closer to younger brother Brian than her older sister Lori: Brian shares Jeannette 's love of the outdoors, while Lori is more a bookworm. As Jeannette matures, her feelings toward Dad and Mom change. She resents Dad 's drinking and how he constantly lets her and the rest of the family down yet never openly admits it or allows his flaws to be discussed. Jeannette also resents Mom 's refusal to hold down a job long enough to provide her kids with a stable food supply. These resentments make her more and more willful and independent. Eventually she scrapes

I despised what she said when I left. I was engulfed in anger by not being the favorite. I was rebellious because I was different, but I always found my way to get what I wanted. Mother always fought with me though I didn 't know the reasons of her anger. My siblings teased me for being a carbon copy of my father and becomes the talk of the town. For whatever reason she had, it built grudges within my existence. I always asked why she hated me when I was the only one by her side.

Every person reaches a point in their lives when they must define themselves in relation to their parents. We all come through this experience differently, depending on our parents and the situation that we are in. For some people the experience comes very early in their lives, and can be a significant life changing experience. In William Faulkner’s “Barn Burning” Colonel Sartoris Snopes must decide either to stand with his father and compromise his integrity, or embrace honesty and morality and condemn his family. This is a difficult decision to make, especially for a ten year old boy that has nothing outside of what his father provides. Sarty’s decision to ultimately betray his father is dependent on his observation of Abner’s character

In these two books "The Glass Castle" Jeannette Walls and "Angela's Ashes" by Frank McCourt both of them had to deal with alcoholic fathers. Growing up I can relate to this struggle, as a child my father drank a lot every night. The best was to survive was to avoid him all together. As my father reflects back on his past, he tells me this was because he was unhappy with his life. He knew his marriage was over. My mother was unfaithful many times, when he left our house he continued to drink. He explains this was because he felt that we were never safe in that house living with my mother and stepfather. From these two books I was better able to relate to Jeanette Walls character because she also experienced neglect. As a child I never thought anything of my mother locking out of the house, we had to fend for ourselves. I would say it was around the age ten when I suddenly got a “beggars complex”. I often would ask neighbors for food or to use their bathrooms. There were days that I would not go to school because my mom didn’t wake us up. Jeanette’s mom didn’t seem to care if she went to school or not. Jeanette is encouraged by her favorite teacher Mrs. Blivens to write for the school newspaper. Realizing that she has a talent for this, Jeanette had the big dreams writing for “the phoenix” a Brooklyn newspaper. Mrs. Blivens was a remarkable role model for her,

As the book follows the life of Jeannette, her dream starts out as a fantasy of hope for her father. When her father was sober he was her best friend. Yet he developed a drinking problem right before Jeannette was born, that developed and worsened over the span of her life. Her mother accounts that when they lost a child, his drinking started,

Lastly, her family betrayed her by not listening to her side of the story after her sister told lies about her, and they betrayed her when they acted as if they did not care if she moved out of the house. In all of these actions, the family itself and certain members of the family are portrayed as uncaring, unsupportive, disrespectful, conniving, deceitful, and hateful to Sister. Through every action of the family, Sister is treated harshly, and she tries to not let this bother her. Yet, anger and bitterness build up inside of her until she cannot take it anymore. Consequently, it built up so much inside of her that it severely affected Sister so profoundly that she moved away from her home to get away from her family.

In 2012, “Dinesh Romde from the Associated Press,” interviewed a U.S Congressional candidate, by the name of Amar Kaleka, whose father had been gunned down by a white supremacist. After the incident, Kaleka started to suffer panic attacks, lost his appetite, couldn't sleep, and started to have suicidal thoughts. After going to the doctors, Kaleka was prescribed medicinal marijuana. When Kaleka was interviewed he stated that the medicinal marijuana works. She feels that it is disappointing that people do not see marijuana as a good option to cure people. In the interview Kaleka said “Personally I know that medicinal marijuana works. I think it's disappointing that people who might really need it, someone who's gone through a tragedy like that, doesn't have access to that option."(Kaleka) Not only did medicinal marijuana treat his illnesses, but it also gave him a new opportunity to focus on the things he wanted to accomplish in life. Although marijuana is perceived as a bad drug, it should be legalized in the United States because it helps treat illnesses and diseases.

Thesis Statement: Although the rivals of the death penalty accept this to be unethical and non-gainful, promoters of the death penalty have ended up being this to be a financially savvy, and morally redress obstruction of future killings.
