Is family important to you? Are they with you through your life? Do they make you laugh and happy? Well the place in the book is a mess. The government is corrupted and the people were not fair. The rich were separated to a different part of the city away from the poor. Families were lost and abused like Day’s. In the Legend series, Marie Lu illustrates the theme that family is important to happiness through Day’s actions, Day’s symbolism and Day’s dialogue.

This quote shows the pendant his father gave him was for his birthday because he knew he would not be there for his birthday and the pendant was to show that his father is always with him.
Marie Lu illustrates the theme that family is important to happiness through Day’s action. Day and June both pledged to serve the patriots because one of the reasons was to get help to find Eden. Day’s leg was messed up so they fixed it for him since he is a member of the patriots. “I can tell how much power my leg will have when I recover and how much more quickly I’ll be able to get around. How much sooner I can find Eden.”(58) This proves that Day is determined that after he heals up, he would have a much better chance to rescue Eden from the Republic using him for a biological weapon in the war with the colonies. After he rescues Eden, Day would be happy that Eden is with him, by his side safely, but he would need to find the vaccine for the plague for Eden.
In The Legend Series, Marie Lu illustrates the theme that family is important to happiness from when Day’s dialogue tells that he loves June, Day’s symbol which is a pendant that represents his family and is the only thing left besides Eden and Day’s action where he risks his life to trust the patriots to get help to find Eden. The theme relates to the real world by how the Republic and the people and Britain and the colonies before. The Republic
People often believe that family is one of the most important things in the world. This is seen in the historical fiction novel, The Watsons Go To Birmingham, 1963, by Christopher Paul Curtis when the Watson family take a trip to Birmingham, Alabama, during the Civil Rights Movement. The author uses symbolism to convey the message of family, during the Watson’s long road trip in their new car to Alabama.
As the narrator, Claire creates an emotional and compassionate tone throughout the story. Her dialogue constantly consists of words such as “honey”, “mommy”, “love”, which constitutes to the overall mood of the text (Carver 363). Additionally, she is constantly catering to her husband and child by cooking, cleaning, and performing tasks of the typical “stay-at-home” mom. Her affectionate personality, want for control, and mother-like performance plays a role in Carver’s explanation of the stereotypical mother and wife.
Legends appear and are shown in multiple ways, there are three main examples of it in the movie The Sandlot. For starters, the legend of Babe Ruth or the Great Bambino. At the beginning of the movie there was a scene where the main character Scotty Smalls first met the baseball team, they were having a conversation about the Great Bambino. It was absurd when Smalls didn’t know who the legend was. All the supporting characters were very familiar with baseball and the baseball player everyone wanted to be which was Babe Ruth.
An example of how her family values each other is her description of the conventions and norms of her family. They are thoroughly supportive of one another, attending every graduation, baby shower, birthday, and house warming party. Her father and siblings have burial plots together so that they are never separated. Life is lived with everyone being connected and concerned for not only each person’s well-being, but happiness as well. She says her “relatives form an alliance that represents a genuine and enduring love of family…”
The family is the closest, most stable element in the boys life. LaJoe tries hard to make sure the boys are surrounded with positive influences so that they will grow up secure. This
That alone shows that the family structure is the most important part of their life. They also have a feud with the Shepherdson family in this book because they were raised to dislike one another, but they don’t even know why the families have always hated each other. That also shows that family is important to them.
In "The Lorax," the importance of family can also be observed in several instances. Here, the main character, Ted, is shown to have a close relationship with his mother and grandmother. The family is shown
In addition, she shares her experiences and encounters at the house, which easily persuades the reader into believing it would be a benefit to help. Often, one is distracted with their own struggles and troubles, but in Day’s essay, she certainly helps one defeat their
In “The Story of an Hour”, Louise Mallard was an independent lady who had a weakened heart. Her marriage with Bentley Mallard had evolved into a more practical situation rather than romance. Even though they never had children, all of her needs were taken care of. Bentley was very controlling towards Louise of what she could and couldn’t do; therefore, her emotions were suppressed.
This love for her family is perhaps the strongest thing in the book, as it is continually seen in many different instances. Right from Fonny’s arrest, Tish’s family supports her, mainly in the forms of doing everything they possibly can for her, as they do when Ernestine goes and finds Fonny a lawyer, and they decide to help Fonny in the midst of his trouble. Family love is a strong form of love that is the essence of the book. We continually see this love as the book moves on, Fonny even claims multiple times that “they’re the only family he’s ever had,” (Baldwin, 84). The book continues to support the love they all have as a family when Sharon, a timid, quiet woman, goes all the way to Puerto Rico to get the woman that accused Fonny of his crime to change her testimony.
The importance of family is not something that we can argue. Our relationships with parents, children, and siblings or the lack of such relationships have a huge impact on our lives. Similarly for literary characters, which authors present as either to have “normal” or “abnormal” relationships. Three authors whose writing published in the 20th century focuses on family as a central theme and fundamental human relationships are Alice Walker, Flannery O’Connor, and Raymond Carver. A commonality between all three stories is emphasize on the role of woman within the family.
The way the world is seen varies with each passing person. What is observed as good from one may be the damning pathway to hell for another. Many times these beliefs are instilled upon us at a very early age which can result with a twisted outlook on life that we had little to no control over. As we grow older we are than further influenced through our religion (or lack of), culture, and passed experiences. With that in mind, it is easy to see that reality can be just as interchangeable and further raises the difficult question of what is real? Robert Neville, a man who on a daily basis struggles with the reality of being the last man on earth often only manages to keep going by holding on to the intangibles of hope, denial, and
The common theme is that women are weak and cannot continue to live their life without families in 19th century. From “The Story of an Hour” we can see that the main character, Louise Mallard was happy after knowing her husband was dead. She was celebrating the freedom she obtained because of the death of her husband. In fact, she could divorce with her husband if she did not love him anymore. Somehow, she did not dare to ask for divorcing. Besides, in “Desiree’s Baby”, the main character, Desiree was weak as she cannot stand for her husband’s mental abuse towards her that he changed his attitude towards her, he talked to her with averted eyes, losing all his love towards her because she was potentially a black. Thus, she went away from L’ Abri with her baby, risking her life and her baby’s
I believe family is such an important part in this family’s life because they are all that each other has got. They hold close to their family because they have been through so much and they see death all around them, so they see the importance of their family. They also are taught from a very young age to respect their elders in the family because they have seen much more and know much more about all aspects of life. They are viewed as wise and knowledgeable and the young family members cherish the opportunity to learn from them. In the movie Gran Torino one
This quote makes Neville a hero to Gryffindor at the end of his first year at Hogwarts during the time that Dumbledore is awarding the house cup. He gives Hermione fifty points for “ the use of cool logic in the face of fire”,Ron fifty points for,“the best played game of chess Hogwarts has seen in many years”,and Harry sixty points for ,”pure nerve and outstanding courage”. Gryffindor and Slytherin are tied and Dumbledore gives Neville ten points for trying to stop Harry, Ron, and Hermione from going to get the Sorcerer’s Stone even though he is the worst in his grade at the time and they are his only friends. Neville tries to save Gryffindor even though he is risking losing his only friends and expecting to get beat up.
