Rocheine Case Study In The Home Analysis

Jeannette is very insecure about her past life of poverty, and although she has now dug herself out of the rut of destitution, her parents’ continued homelessness is always a reminder of

Ms. Katerina Chronis stated that the father tries to talk with Theki. He asks her questions but the child does not give answers. The dad keeps asking why she doesn’t go. The child is told that she has to go where she has to go it’s your mother. She indicated that her brother is not too effective. He has said he would take things away if she the child did not go with her mother. Ms. Katerina Chronis stated that the child does not seem to care if the father takes things away (kindle, play dates). He doesn’t take away karate. The family tries to bribe the child but it doesn’t

The parent’s decision to act freely and have no worries in life causes the family’s struggle, and leads them to poverty. The struggle for the family is shown in the quote, “Mom's salary created a whole new set of problems” (Walls.p.48). What this means is that money would solve all the family's problems, but it doesn't—mostly because the dad takes all the money. Later on in the memoir Jeannette says, “Mom decided Maureen

However, with her alcoholic dad who rarely kept a job and her mother who suffered mood swings, they had to find food from her school garbage or eat expired food they had previously when they had the slightest bit of money. In addition, when bills and mortgage piled up, they would pack their bags and look for a new home to live in, if they could even call it a stable home, since they would be on the move so often. Jeanette needed a dad who wouldn’t disappear for days at a time, and a mom that was emotionally stable, but because she didn’t have that, she grew up in an environment where she would get teased or harassed for it. Jeanette suffered so much, that even at one point, she tried convincing her mother to leave her father because of the trouble he had caused the family already. A child should be able to depend on their parents for food and to be there for them when they need it, and when that part of a child’s security is taken away, it leaves them lost and on their own, free and confused about what to do next.

This laissez-faire ideology of letting things take their own course and not interfering much, has forced Jeanette and her siblings to hide their true identities. As mentioned in the previous paragraph, the lack of responsibility Jeanette’s parents have is also tied into their laissez-faire attitude. This leads to the current circumstances the family has. Poor to the point of nearly being broke and little to no food in the house, yet no desire to find a job and support the family. Jeanette and her siblings try their best to hide their lack of food and poverty level from the rest of the neighborhood. Oftentimes they didn’t have a lunch at school so in the beginning they would say they either forgot it or they were dieting, but as time went on they progressed to stealing food from other kids lunchboxes when no one was around or nabbing food from the garbage can in secret. When they were there they also stole food from neighbors and friends houses. “We kids usually kept our hunger to ourselves, but we were always thinking of food and how to get our hands on it” (Walls, 68). Because their parents rarely worked or actually did anything when the kids were hungry they had to lie, steal, and hide their true identities. As the kids became older, they learned not to ask about food or complain about the lack of food when the family was running low. As

Also Rex and Rosemary didn’t consider the needs of their children when they decided to leave the doors and windows open at night, which led to Jeannette’s dangerous encounter with a pervert. Rex and Rosemary also can’t provide their children with food every night because rex cannot keep a steady job which leads the kids to scavenge. ‘’ If we asked mom about food- In a casual way, because we didn’t want to cause any trouble- she’d simply shrug and say she couldn’t make something out of nothing’’(Walls 68). Jeannette begins to steal food from her classmates, while Brian was scavenging too. This is another example of Rex and Rosemary not caring about their children’s needs. ‘’The next day Lori, Brian, and I were sitting at one of the spool tables in the depot playing five-card draw and keeping an eye on Maureen while mom and dad spent some downtime at the owl club’’( Walls 87). Although Lori is the oldest, she should not obtain the responsibility to babysit her younger sibling’s while her parents fulfill their own needs. Rex and Rosemary neglected the children’s safety and Maureen (the youngest) was put into danger when a gun was involved when Billy

Both children had been fully adopted by their families and, while Mai was provided with everything she needed growing up Tiffany and Haun had been supplied with so much more. Tiffany and Haun had met each other first, at their private elementary school, and later met Mai in high school. While all three children are equally intellectual Mai explains the first level of separation between them in her inner dialogue, “Haun and Tiffany didn’t even bother filling out the FASA forms or applying for scholarships” (Phan 155) which, in short, states that their parents are of the wealthier class. Tiffany’s parents co-owned a seafood restaurant in Newport Beach, where they went all share plates of lobster, shrimp, and mahi-mahi and drink ginger ale out of champagne glasses and, while there isn’t much told of Haun’s parents, it is assumed he is of the same social class because, “His fraternity sponsors a ski trip wo Vermont every year [where] they rent out a block of condos for the long weekend” and because of this wealth gap Tiffany and Haun are unable to see difficulties Mai’s faces for college and the rest of her life following her eighteenth birthday. This is shown through their discussion of Mai’s application to Wellesley, a college Tiffany had already been accepted to. Mai is told numerous things along the lines of Tiffany got in Mai will most definitely be accepted and that the Reynolds will help her pay

For example, throughout her childhood she never had a truly stable home. Her family was constantly moving from place to place around the country, and as her father said, “doing the skedaddle” whenever inconveniences arose, like debt collectors catching up to them or getting into trouble with the law. Second, her father always spent the majority of their money on beer and other alcoholic beverages at bars, and they frequently had no food to eat and were starving. The children often had to fend for themselves to find food when they were hungry without the assistance of their parents. Jeannette often subdued her and her siblings’ difficulties by taking charge of herself and her siblings to acquire food and by standing up for herself whenever it was necessary. For example, she stood up for herself whenever her mother was being selfish and pompous. Her mother would hide snacks and eat them secretly without sharing, and she would also spend days sobbing and complaining about how she had to do everything. During those times, Jeannette often took charge and directly criticized her mother about not doing her job. After her dad whipped her, Jeannette vowed to escape Welch for good and began saving up money to leave and move away. As a result of her struggles, over the years Jeannette had become very hard-working and diligent at whatever work she did. This lead her to become very successful in the future. She

First of all, Jeannette is a hard worker, unlike her parents. For example, she got a job at thirteen years old, and after working hard on her school’s newspaper junior year, she went to New York her senior year at a public high school that offers internships instead of classes.

The Walls family does not have much money and live in poverty because Rex Walls, Jeanette’s father, tends to lose jobs quickly. Jeanette and her family can only live in cheap, unsuitable living conditions in communities made up of other poor people. Along with the inadequate living spaces, Jeanette’s family can not afford nutritious food. Sometimes, the Walls do not have food to eat at all.

Growing up Jeannette’s father had existed as a drunk to stop for Jeannette on her birthday before the move. Afterwards he comes back in contact with his parents and resumes his drunken state. Growing up no matter the instance Jeannette would always stand up for him and help him in any way. With her fathers demons in charge the family went hungry quite often. Leaving the children to eat what most would not venture to eat, ranging from the combination of butter and sugar to eating out of the school garbage cans at lunch. Their time in Welsh has taught me that although I may not enjoy the food that is in my house, but there are people out in the world that do not acquire the same luxury the majority of us do obtain. In Jeannette and her siblings’ time of need for food, Jeannette and her oldest sister Lori help each other to create a budget in hopes that her parents would follow it. Although their parents do not, I was impressed that the girls would come up with this idea and it is highly effective for the summer their mother leaves. Only to end in the result of the money being handed to Rex. Shortly after, the girls decide they are done with living the life their parents give them. In result, the girls maintain jobs and save enough to send Lori to New York, up until Rex smashes the pig and steals all the money for alcohol. Luckily, things work out and she goes anyway shortly followed by the

Most of the time, there wasn’t a steady income coming in but when there was her father, Rex, who was an alcoholic spent the money on himself. So not only did their mom put herself before the kids, but a lot of times the dad did as well. They never had a lot to begin with, but the money they did have never went to the kids. Rex and

Although each of the Youngers has their own idea of what the larger sum should go towards, it is selfless in the fact that they are trying to better the family as a whole. Momma sees it as a better house is what they need, Walter sees it as a liquor store will bring even more money in, and Beneatha sees it as if she can better her education her job will be a reliable source for the family

However, when their mother came through the door and told them of a hungry family, the 4 women did not hesitate in giving away their luscious breakfast to those in need. The children delivered the food to the family and “a poor, bare, miserable room it was, with broken windows, no fire, ragged bedclothes, a sick mother, wailing baby, and a group of pale, hungry children cuddled under one old quilt, trying to keep warm”(24). The sisters realize what a harsh environment they live in, and because the setting is so pessimistic, they try to share the little wealth they have so that everyone may live long full lives. The setting in which they live, houses many people who have even less wealth than their own family. However, because of this dreadful place, they try and make sure that their community, or their family, is taken care of, even at the expense of their luxuries.

These two siblings are economically disadvantaged, living with their mother who was not in a position to support their education related expenses. Druk Green decided to support these two children in the form of school fees, school uniforms, books and stationeries, and other miscellaneous costs including travel
