This type of society has never been forever, meaning men were inferior to women at one point in time. The novel of The Sisters Brothers portrays this type of society, and we see many examples that the novel is presented in this type of society. The Sisters Brothers is a western-inspired story of 2 brothers depicts many scenes where women are focused upon, and show many quality's and roles they play in their current society. Whereas one women may play the role of a prostitute, others may obtain the role of a servant, shop keeper or family caregiver. Within

One can say my relationship with my sister is umm... complicated; one minute we’re fine and the next we want to rip out each others eyeballs. But yet, so many other siblings are like that too, so my sister and I are nothing spectacularly out of the ordinary. In fact, one can say we have a healthy sibling relationship, because of this weird love-hate complex. One great example of an average sibling relationship comes from Harper Lee’s book, To Kill a Mockingbird, where Jem and Scout Finch have a very iconic sibling relationship.

Siblings that always lived together, originally lived together and then were separated, and never lived together all impact the way the children develop into adults and affects their relationships with their siblings as children and as adults. It also affects their emotional health of how they adjust to foster care and to adult life.

Many factors can affect the effectiveness of relational maintenance within sibling relationships, such as effort to maintain relationships, age of siblings, and how related they are among other things. In romantic relationships, individuals may experience a higher level of satisfaction within a relationship if their partners’ use of relational maintenance tactics compares favorably to their own (Dainton, 2000). It is possible for this to also be the case for adult sibling relationships since these would be life-long relationships that one would be born into instead of relationships one would form by choice and at any point of their lives. However, those involved in romantic relationships may not experience a greater level of relational satisfaction from relational maintenance the longer there are involved in a relationship. Whether or not this is also the case for adult siblings is an interesting question as there are a variety of factors that can positively or negatively affect their relationships over the course of time. These would include involvement with each other’s families, geographic distance, and continued involvement with parents among other factors. The current amount of relational satisfaction between adult siblings can be compared to that of when they were children; and can also be compared between adult siblings at different stages of their adult life.

Erma must have been an uncaring, bad mother to Rex which caused him to leave Welch. Also, Erma helps uncover the theme of siblings and family dynamics. Throughout the memoir, the Walls children stand up and protect one another, but when Erma makes a move on Brian while “mending” his pants, it is then when we see Lori truly stand up for Brian, and the goodwill of her sister, too. Jeannette catches Erma and screams for her to stop, which causes Erma to almost slap her. Luckily, Lori catches Erma’s hand before impact, but Erma removes her hand and Lori basically takes the slap for Jeannette. Lori, infuriated by Erma, throws a blow to her jaw that isn’t just pure rage, but a bubbling anger she feels for the mistreatment of not only Brian, but all

According to the article “7 Ways Your Siblings May Have Shaped You” written by Lindsay Lyon, siblings: buffer stress, provide good practice, help raise our vulnerability to mental-health issues, raise the chance of bad behavior, inspire us to be different, increase romantic jealousy, and impact a person’s love life. Siblings play a vital role in the way a person will act and carry themself in their day to day life. 80% of children today grow up with a brother, sister, or both.

Relationships with siblings definitely affects emotions. Emotions vary when it comes to siblings; they can range from anger and jealousy to joy and gratefulness.
