The divorce rate in the United States is higher than fifty percent today. The divorce rate continues to increase in America due to many reasons, one of them being that society today is a disposable society. Back in the day, when someone had a broken shoe he or she would fix it, and if there was a problem with a couple’s marriage, the two would work through it. But today, it is easier to ignore the problem, throw away what we do not like anymore and move on to the next, which is not the right way to live. In Lorrie Moore’s “A Kid’s Guide to Divorce”, Moore writes about a child and his or her mother. The two are sitting in their living room watching TV as they

In The Great Divorce, the narrator suddenly, and inexplicably, finds himself in a grim and joyless city (the "grey town", representative of hell). He eventually finds a bus for those who desire an excursion to some other place (and which eventually turns out to be the foothills of heaven). He enters the bus and converses with his fellow passengers as they travel. When the bus reaches its destination, the "people" on the bus — including the narrator — gradually realize that they are ghosts. Although the country is the most beautiful they have ever seen, every feature of the landscape (including streams of water and blades of grass) is unbearably solid compared to themselves: it causes them immense pain to walk on the grass, and even a

Heaven is a conceptual place where the human race will end up after their life on earth. It is a place where no sin is found causing everyone to live in complete peace. But what if living a life without sin is unimaginably difficult? And what if being confronted about your sins made you want to turn away from a life of perfection? C.S. Lewis makes a claim about this concern in his book, The Great Divorce. He analyzes the behavior of humans in accordance with their sinful habits. The Great Divorce focuses on the point of view of the Narrator who lives in a gloomy and dismal Hell when an otherworldly bus stops by and takes the passengers to Heaven. Everyone is eager to get on the bus when promised an oasis from the gloomy setting of Hell. Once

Because the family court call themselves Equity not courts of law the spouses are misrepresented or unrepresented in the family divorce court because they encounter unfair outcomes from the judges, they do not have twelve honest jurors given the decision based on how they look at things, they do not have the rights to an attorney if they cannot afford one, if they do have an attorney it creates an expensive conflict between the spouses and all this happened ever since Ronell Reagan singed the first no-fault divorce

“The Great Divorce” narrates of a bizarre marriage between a living and a dead, who being unable to communicate are forced to turn to a medium as a last resort. The relationship between "Alan Robley (living) and Lavvie Tyler (deceased)" has never been easier and with the passing of time the distance between the two has become insurmountable (Link 173). The medium tries in vain to act as a bridge in a relationship now consumed by misunderstandings rooted into diametrically opposed cultures. In this story There is not a beginning nor an end in this story that only serves to paint surrealistically a portrait of mixed marriage challenges, which reading between the lines is somewhat realistic. Although marriage between the living and the dead is now an almost disused practice, it was quite common in ancient China. The typical netherworld marriage usually involved two dead persons who had a prenuptial agreement made before their deaths, but it could also happen that a woman married a dead man to keep her promised marriage contract (Gu and Xu). Therefore, the author’s use of Fabulism serves not only describe reality in its bleakness but also underlines its complex and abstract structure.

Although adults can often act child-like and immature, the narrator in "The Kid's Guide to Divorce" is assumed to be a child. The story features a child and their mom spending some down time together. They cuddle on the couch, watch movies, flip through the channels, and act silly with each other. It is very easy to make the assumption that the narrator is a child because throughout the story they display child-like behavior. Such as, when the narrator ignores the mom after she asks if the popcorn popper is off, when she asks for soda and her mom says no, and when she talks about the school nurse and a puberty movie.
