Ink And Ashes Book Analysis

Parenting played a big role in shaping the two boys lives. Having a parental mentor is important because they assist and guide children to take the right decisions about their lives. The author had his two parents at the beginning of his life. Also, the author’s parents, especially his mother, tried to raise him in an effective way wanting him to know the right from wrong at an early age. “No mommy loves you, like I love you, she just wants you to do the right thing” (Moore 11).

The school board is not quite certain that schools should continue to include fiction in the curriculum. However, if fiction is taught to students it may actually teach life lessons. Fictional literature can change someone's perspective on, what problems we may come across. For instance, a fictional book can help us relate to all the controversial problems that do occur in today's society. I disagree with the school board's thoughts about completely banning it. This type of literature can deepen our knowledge and teach us about things that we don’t experience on a day to day basis.

Anywhere in people’s lives, whether it’s in a movie, a book, or in real life, there are children having a problem with their parents. For books and movies, it adds extra tension and drama between characters, and in real life, it’s an everyday situation that occurs frequently throughout parent and childhood. However, these tensions between parents and their children can have serious effects. In the book That Was Then, This Is Now, written by S.E. Hinton, one of the characters, M&M, changes everyone’s lives because he was running away from his father’s mean comments. Though this conflict had many sources throughout the book, the tension between M&M and his father causes changes in the lives of other characters, and drastically impacted the storyline

They’re always about something bad happening” (McCarthy 269). So by this statement, we know that the boy while empathetic, still feels negative emotions for himself. We feel as if the boy is what keeps the book going, the fire; he is the only one who can and will keep the story going because he is seen as something greater than all. After the father dies, we see that the boy finds a group of wanderers and joins them.

When a mentor gives you lemons, you make the lemonade. In the book The Graveyard Book by Neil Gaiman, the person most important in Bod Owens’s life is his mentor, Silas. Bod Owens did not have the average teenage life; he was raised by two dead parents who live in a graveyard, and was not allowed to leave the graveyard unless his parents gave him permission. The lady on the Grey is the symbol of death that mentors Silas, which gives her and Silas a similar “job” in their afterlife.

In result, children will be forced to grow up faster than they should be. In this book however it may be real in some situations in life, it is a fake story about a young black male who gets wrongfully accused of stealing. He is then abused by a police officer who was on duty at the time and ends with injuries that puts him in the hospital.Without having fiction we would have never thought of how badly police can act upon and black male. This helps us see more situations on whether or not the police or citizen was at fault. Fiction needs to be included in the curriculum because we can never imagine situations that can often happen in real life.

Joy`s son, the narrator, wasn’t given this choice since his father passed because of an unnoticed epiglottis infection, while the other Wes Moore`s father proceeded to walk out of Wes`s life. The quote “Young boys are more likely to believe in themselves if they know that there`s someone, somewhere, who shares that belief. To carry that burden of belief alone is too much for most young shoulders.” pointed out a critical piece of information that shaped both men`s characters and agendas (Wes 28).

“ If you think that being married ensures a good life for your children you need only enter a bookstore and open any novel, or go to the theater and watch practically any play” (Rophie 60). Although the reader can see what Rophie is trying to say, she did not present this in a manner that could cause a change of mind. It can be safely assumed that everyone has heard a story in their lifetime. Not every story has to do with parents. The author should have wrote this different because this statement loses credibility to the reader. It is unwise to tell the audience you are acquiring your facts from a novel or a play. The audience would logically realize every story has a problem for a

Atwood writes about the narrator’s thoughts and needs for affection. There’s nobody here I can love… I can conjure them but they are mirages only, they don’t last. Can I be blamed for wanting a real body… Without it I too am disembodied…I can stroke myself… but I too am dry and white, hard, granular; it’s like running my hand over a plateful of dried rice….

Children are particularly vulnerable because they depend on the adults in their lives to provide affection and tend to their basic needs including food and shelter. It was difficult to read through David’s vivid description of the physical and mental abuse he encountered under his parent’s care. Accordingly, I recognize that not all parents are like my husband and I, sadly thousands of children experience abuse on daily basis.

However, his words are a key element to the story because they reflect valuable lessons that the children may need for future reference. The narrator wants to save the children from heartache and disappointment; however he fails to realize that all children must experience these emotions for themselves in order to become mature. As the narrator stares into the lives of the children, it seems as though he is reliving his own life. His
