Trying To Get Along With Her Father

Abigail Adams thinks the place is ok. The text states, "The house is upon a grand and superb scale, requiring about thirty servants to attend and keep the apartments in proper order." This proves that the people working have to keep the place in order, but it takes alot of people. The text states, "The lighting of the apartments, from the kitchen to the parlors and chambers, is a tax indeed." This proves that the lighting could be expensive looking and may cost alot to keep the lights on. The text states, "Fortunately, a straggling man came up with us, and we engaged him as a guide to extricate us out of our difficulty; but woods are all you can see from Baltimore until you reach the city."

Relationships are like sail boats. In order to sail without any mishaps, similar wants and expectations need to be taken into account. However, many of those same desires and intentions are not often met, especially in mother-daughter relationships. The relationship that a mother has with her daughter can be extremely complex particularly due to cultural differences and complicated pasts. In the novel, The Joy Luck Club by Amy Tan, growing up in a bicultural environment tears apart the strong bond between mothers and daughters, as they go through problematic events caused by high expectations, hardship and lack of communication.

For example, in the play “The Watsons Go to Birmingham” the character Kenny has an attitude of being sad. A quote that supports this is when it said,”Two hot dogs, please,” Byron said.” “You go round back if you want something to eat,” Waitress said. Kenny runs out in fear.” This shows that Kenny’s attitude is sadness because when he smelled the hot dogs and really wanted one he was forced to go around the back of the building if he wanted one. This caused him to feel sad and left out since he and his friend couldn’t get lunch like the others. As he does this he doesn’t try to make things better and try to fix it but instead he gives up and leaves the restaurant. In the passage “Don’t Give Up The Fight” it showed the character Ava, to have the attitude of not giving up and persevering. A quote that supports this is when it said,” Okay…” I muttered. I was scared but determined.” This quote shows perseverance because even though she is scared that the others are going to continue to mock and neglect her, she still is going to move on and not care what others think. This is different from Kenny’s attitude since Kenny ran out of the diner showing that he wasn’t going to try for his lunch and equal rights, and gave up. Ava’s perseverance and strength to go on in hard times is key in her

When reviewing the writings of Amy Chua the image of a very stern, no-nonsense mother comes into view. Then there is the exact opposite with the writing of Hanna Rosin who takes a gentler approach to motherhood. While it can be seen from the words of both mothers there is a devotion to their children, in contrast their methods and views of raising children are as different as night and day. We can especially see this when it comes to their opinions of the meaning of success, self-esteem and what it means to raise a happy child.

Similarly, one's attitude can be comparable to a prisoner in the cave. When an individual secluded themselves from the outside world, they become dense. They are unwilling to assess or evaluate their outlook or understanding about the world (Plato's Cave Allegory, 10/10/16). One displays a very stubborn attitude. Reluctant to pay attention to other's notion.

Not to mention she is selfish, the Grandma is only asking for her survival when the rest of her family is on the verge of death, including her own son. No one is perfect in this story. The father of the children has a dry attitude, e.g., “He didn't have a naturally sunny disposition.” The mother shows no emotion/ physical bond towards her children.

Brook’s presents that the parents are weak when they decide to be strict, because instead of being able to go round and round with their children to make sure they grow up to be someone they are proud of, they are chickening out by taking the easy road, which is not helping them succeed socially but academically. “I believe she’s coddling her children. She’s protecting them from the most intellectually demanding activities because she doesn’t understand what’s cognitively difficult and what isn’t (Brooks 58).” Brooks does not believe Amy understands that making her children only study and work hard makes is not harder than making them socialize. While Brooks believes that she is protecting her children, Amy believes otherwise. “...Chinese mothers

By Thomas Sr. being non-verbal, it is showing his long lasting emotional pain - “I have not always been silent, I used to talk and talk and talk and talk, I could not keep my mouth shut, the silence overtook me like a cancer”.

The mother was once a fun loving, and even described as gregarious lively sprit. Until her husband past away. She then flipped like a switch, and became more reserved.

One of the lyrics that shows this theme is when Ann Wilson says, “I’m pretending and that’s all I can do” This lyric means that although her ex-husband has left her, she’ll do whatever she can to not show her true emotions, to show that his actions do not affect her emotional well being. When the singer uses the verbal technique of personal statement it shows the viewers how determined Ann is towards not letting her veracious feelings show regarding her previous relationship. In the scene, we can see a close up of Ann frowning as she sings the words, “I’m pretending and that’s all I can do”, she begins to smile, smiling in times of hardship is used as a defensive mechanism in society. Ann’s smile can be seen as a mask, she’s not hinting to anyone that she’s hurting from a failed relationship but instead keeps her composure and carries on with the rest of her life. Before she sings the lyrics, the clip is shown in black and white, and she is frowning. The colour black

The poem “To her father with some verses” by Anne Bradstreet details a women’s attempt to show praise for her father while being unable repay him all that he has done for her. The first thing that initially hits the reader is the tone of the poem. The first few lines paint an overall sad atmosphere that continually engulfs the reader as the poem continues. The conclusion fo the poem leaves the reader in a depressed state knowing that no matter what the women in the poem does, she can never repay what her father has done for her. Add this with the fact the narrator mentions she plans to continue this repayment until the day she dies. These ideas offer a similar take on Puritan culture. Puritan families typically had the men spend enormous amounts

Attitude is a behavior or emotion that a person or a group people reflect to others show their process of thinking towards a certain manner. This term is used quite commonly in literature since all authors have to convey their story with a certain type of feeling.

Dickens uses an ominous, mysterious attitude to convey his underlying message to us readers with simple objects that symbolize a deeper and frightening meaning.
