William H. Johnson was a successful painter who was born on March 18, 1901 in Florence, South Carolina. Johnson began exploring his level of creativity as a child, and it only amplified from there because he discovered that he wanted to be an artist. After making this discovery he attended the National Academy of Design in New York which is where he met his mentor Charles Webster Hawthorne who had a strong influential impact on Johnson. Once Johnson graduated he moved to Paris where he was exposed to different artists, various artistic abilities, and evolutionary creations. Throughout Johnson’s time in Paris he grew as an artist, and adapted a “folk” style where he used lively colors and flat figures. Johnson used the “folk” style to express the experience of most African-Americans during the years of the 1930s and 1940s.

Perry recounts his childhood: “... he was a seven year old, a hated, hating half-breed child living in a California orphanage run by nuns--shrouded disciplinarians who whipped him for wetting the bed” (Capote, 93.) Dick, who has a loving, functional family, states, “I’m a normal” (Capote, 93.) These two figures’ backgrounds clash unexpectedly. Dick, the cold, angry killer, and Perry, the sensitive, kind person, have the exact opposite backgrounds. Normally, the cold person had cold or lonely parents and the happy person had happy, healthy parents.

This journal reveals a rich history of her past through the viewpoint of her mother. Annabel states, “‘[Dr. Smith] was my father. I read it in my mother’s journal. They...they came together just so they could make me. So they could have ‘an innocent’ to use in their experiments’” (Nappa 334). It reveals that Annabel was not just a child that her parents desired to have, but instead she was just one of their lab rats. She had just been a part of her evil father’s overarching objective. As a result, when her mother tried to help escape Dr. Smith and save Annabel, she was killed. This harsh history has isolated Annabel to a point in which she feels completely dehumanized. This is further reinforced as Dr. Smith, her own father, refers to her as an it. He refuses to accept that she is anything more than a variable in an experiment or a test to be run. This form of isolation resonates deep within Annabel and places every part of her life in line for questioning. She begins to wonder who all was involved and why they hadn’t just locked her away from the beginning to “protect”

The Family Crucible, written by Augustus Napier and Carl Whitaker (1978), exemplifies a fragmented family system. The family consists of David a VIP lawyer, Carolyn an angry mother, Claudia an enraged teenager, Don the 11-year-old peacemaker, and six-year-old Laura. Co-therapists, Napier and Whitaker have taken on the task of working with the family using a systemic approach to conceptualize the family’s difficulties. Herein, this writer will describe how Whitaker and Napier depict the family struggles, how these struggles relate to the family unit in deference to an individual focus, and how

Not only that but her questioning of gender role was a concern for her. After her parents were separated, her father’s expectations of her were no longer there and did not speak to one another. After a while, blaming one-self after a separation of the parents is always expected from young children and so Roberta’s feeling that the separation of her mother and father was due to her misbehavior at home allowed her to be not happy. The separation of her parents did not only cause Roberta to feel not happy but also her thinking was shaped in ways that blamed all men to be the exact same way and that on one could be the same. This can be related to what each child feels and thinks if that were to happen to their own family, and unfortunately in our current society there are people that still the same way as Roberta’s father and

Bragg’s grandfather learned to find out the young man ways “he lived long enough to see the true nature of his son-in-law’s character emerge, saw the cruelty, and his first inclination was to hunt him down and kill him” (35). Bragg’s mother felt that her husband would change for the better the more chances she gave him. Every time Bragg’s father would come back for his wife he would leave her in the end without any money and to expect another child on the way (66). Bragg’s mother and the children knew that the father could become dangerous at any time “he would strike out at whoever was near, but again it always seemed that she was between him and us, absorbing his cruelty, accepting it” (66). Bragg knew that his mother was not trying to bring the family in harm, only his mother wanted the family life and for her boys to grow up with a father.
