Remsley Dorvilus Case Summary

Pauline and her siblings lived a life filled with fear. She was taught at a very young age about the challenges that her parents had gone through in order for her and her sibling to lead a better life. Pauline and her siblings faced physical abuse from their demanding and controlling father. Only the letter ‘A’ was accepted on their school report caard… anything below that deserved a wack with a stick from their abusive father.

Conflict was used effectively in the short story to reveal the theme of the story. The boy has an internal conflict about which parent to stay with, and because his father left, he seemed to have favored him. He wanted him back so badly that every night, he watches him on the six o’clock news while wearing his old jackets. He was blinded by his father’s sudden departure that he forgot about what is really important. Additionally, another development in the short story’s conflict has been used effectively to reveal the theme. When the boy went to Macdonald’s to see his father’s true colors, he thought: “I finished my drink quickly, thankful that he had to be back in the studio for the news.” By the time he saw his dad for the first time in a while, he knew he was not the man he thought he was. At that moment, he also realized that he lost sight of what he had all this time: His mother’s unconditional love. If it wasn’t for the characterization of

Paul was going to go to Lake Windsor Middle School but because he had an iep he wasn’t allowed to play soccer. As a result, Paul saw that he could go to Tangerine Middle instead. He went for it because if he went to Tangerine Middle School he would not need an iep anymore and overall he would get to play soccer. He also made new friends and everyone seemed to be really nice. ’’We understand what a strain this will put on everyone’’(93-94).What this means is that there is a big confusion on if you can stay in the school or you have to transfer to Tangerine.All in all, Paul moving schools was a decision that was his choice and he chose to go to

The reader was surprised to learn that Margaret was an occupational therapist. Her “professional opinion” on the type of augmentative alternative communicative device that was best for Schuyler was questionable. The author revealed his personal opinion of the school; at the same time, he displayed resentment towards the Manor school district. On one hand, both parents had reasons to be upset; yet, it was unclear as to how much voice the occupational therapist had within Schuyler’s team. Furthermore, it was appalling to

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

The fundamental factor, that determines the differences in the boy’s lives, is whether their parents constantly agree with one another or not. Warren's parents always act as one unit; “his parents [board] him at school”, “[t]hey blushed” or “the meagre acreage that bore them down”. In every case, they are seen as a singular force, which makes decisions together. On the other hand, the Professor's parents could not act more differently. The mother keeps her house in “immaculate order” while the father leaves his room in ”disruptive chaos”. They are polar opposites, the “mother [is] of the sea” and of the physical world, while the father “[is] of the ... book” and of knowledge and learning. The biggest difference is that of the parents’ tolerance. The mother does not accept her daughters’ husbands as they “[are] not of her people”, while the father allows his children to chose their own paths in life. The father “never [tells his children] to do anything,... only [asks]”. It is this differences of opinions that allows the Professor to follow his dreams. Since Warren's parents always

At a young age Wes never took a liking to education. When his mother put him in Riverdale School, a prestigious rich school in the Bronx, Wes refrained himself from taking the opportunity of receiving a good education. Therefor His mother gathered thousands of dollars from friends and family to pay for Military school at Valley Forge. Her intention was to allow Wes to take education seriously, and expose himself to new enviorments besides the brutality in the Bronx. To steer him away from a life of crime, and creat a bright future. At Military school Wes attempted to escape but was caught. Right then he realized he couldn’t escape and needed to choose what was best for him. He applied to a college named Johns Hopkins, had internships with Mayor Schmoke, and was not only accepted but also received scholarship money. Wes was now going in the right direction, as well became more than appreciative his mother intervened in his life. “I was lucky to to have supportive, encouraging people to help guide me.” “Hard work is essential, but you also need people around you who believe you can make it.” (p.101) All his mentors, Mayor Schmoke, his mother, Military school etc. steered him to a successful life to this day, and made him see the reality of how having an education, and mentors goes a long

On the other hand, Reuven and David mutually support the notion that the lines of communication between them should always be open. Whenever Reuven struggles with a problem or simply a question, regardless the significance, he comes directly to his father for assistance. David listens intently and offers a few suggestions or delivers a thorough answer to his son’s query. For example, when Reuven wonders about Danny, David answers with a lengthy and detailed account. This demonstrates not only the comfort they bear in talking to each other but also the patience they’ve developed that has stemmed from their communication. Despite their lack of communication, Reb Saunders and his son share the same admiration, respect, and trust for each other that are consistent with Reuven’s and David’s relationship.

Carolina Flores has had an extraordinary experience at Casco Bay High School. She had a passionate smile as she said, “I would redo my four years here again.” Her journey before a CBHS was different. Her 8th grade year everyone kept telling her only weird go to CBHS or it's a hard school. But her mother didn't wanted her to go to Deering High school because her older sister had a horrible experience at DHS. “My older sister didn't want me to same experience as she did in high school,” Carolina said. But right now she is so grateful and thankful for mother forcing her to go Casco. She learned how to come out of her comfort zone, for example, her biggest millstone was being a dj at her 10th grade year for the Halloween dance.

For the re-entry program, I conducted intake interviews and assessed the needs of each client. I managed three to five cases and assisted with pre-release re-entry classes at the Middle River Regional Jail in Staunton. Although the re-entry program was challenging at times, I remained passionate and enjoyed assisting our clients with finding employment, housing, transportation assistance, resume assistance, food assistance and other valuable resources within the community.

For instance, within the primary dysfunctional family, many relationships are developed, which include two unbearable children, a power hungry dad, a hectic wife tending to her baby, and an unendurable grandmother. These relationships bring out other dynamics within the characters and the family (Lambert 2009). For instance, although both the father and grandmother are strict in ensuring that the children be respectful, on their part, they do not set an example that can be emulated within the family. First, the grandmother advises her grandchildren to be respectful, and then she goes ahead, making a profane racially prejudiced remark almost immediately (McCann, Jr 2011). At the same time, the head of the family—the father of the children, Bailey, requests the children to conduct themselves accordingly. However, confronted by a tense situation, Bailey loses his temper and threatens the family telling them that if they did not shut up, they would not go anywhere (Katharina 4).

Father is doing two jobs; mother is doing a part time job to meet the financial challenges. Mother has a challenge to control the ‘rebelliousness’ of here daughter, while daughter find herself under criticism all the time. Due to the recent inclusion of grandpa, some cultural and communication issues are also there. They are not able to appreciate the strengths the have as a family. There seems to be no extra familial resources that can be accessed to resolve the challenge.
