During life, birth, and death, a family is one of the few natures of life that are present throughout. Often times, the value of family is taken for granted, and people tend to disregard the importance it carries. Due to the power present in the nature of a man, often times it is challenging for women to establish a firm independence, in distinction of the common norms inaugurated in society and in family.

However, many families do not fit into this configuration. These families may include same sex couples, separated or divorced families, extended families, or even blended families. Even though these families may be happy and healthy, to many they are not considered real families. Going along with the topic of imperfect families, both Barbara Kingsolver and Richard Rodriguez try to break down the traditional family structure through their writing. While Kingsolver’s “Stone Soup” and Rodriguez’s “Family Values” explore the ideas of different family structures and traditional American values, “Stone Soup” breaks down what an actual family is like while “Family Values” expresses the value of family in different cultures.

In the chapter, “It’s All Relative”, she points out that her native Persian language has many precise words for relatives. There is not just one word for cousin, but eight words. The names for aunt depend on if it is her father’s sister or her mother’s. This is an example of how her Iranian culture values family.

A dysfunctional family is a family in which conflict, misbehaviour, and often child neglect or abuse on the part of individual parents occur continually and regularly, leading other members to accommodate such actions. Dysfunctional families in literature are something we find hard to resit for numerous reasons. One reason being that reading about negative family dynamics is often more interesting and make a novel harder to put down than reading about families that go on to lead perfectly normal and happy lives.

On September 27, 1480, a millennia of hatred and hostility towards Spanish Jews culminated in the establishment of tribunals to address cases of “heretical depravity”. These tribunals, collectively referred to as the Spanish Inquisition, sought to eliminate deviation from Catholicism.

He succumbs to the recruiting officers pining and walks away with him while Mother is dealing with the Sergeant—the most important line from scene one comes from him, too: “Like the war to nourish you?

Mother’s quick reaction and inability to separate family values from business ethics explains her blunt explanation to those left: to take heed and haul the cart. It comes off as detached from basic moral principles and is unnerving, unsettling, to the audience—a mother who would not scratch and claw to get her son back. This event eventually marks the inevitable decline of an additional part of Mother’s livelihood, her
