What Is The Theme Of My Amazing Mother

The plot of Until We Meet Again, by Anne Schraff, is interesting because it gives the reader a realistic sense of what it is like to have to go through rough stages in life as a young teenager. Darcy is a teenager who attends Bluford High, she has a pretty normal life until things start to change right before her eyes. Hakeem is leaving her, her grandmother is sick, and her just upped and walked back in her and her sister's life. When Darcy and Jamie were younger there dad just upped and left them and their mother without even saying everything, he skipped town and left their mother to take care of her two children and grandmother by herself. Darcy's mother is a hard working woman. She works at a hospital and pays all the bills and takes care of the family by herself. Years later after Darcy's father walked on them he finally came back to the family to make everything right with the girls and their mother. He moved them

Personality Disorders are patterns of inflexible traits that disrupt social life or work and may distress the affected individual. Psychological Disorders is an illness that an individual experience as episodes, and can be clearly distinguished from personality. While we aren’t trained psychologists, everyone can learn how to learn these disorders and identify them in movies and TV, or even real life! A movie that can help you learn how to identify and have a better understanding of these disorders is “Mommie Dearest”. This movie is based off a book about a famous actress Joan Crawford who had multiple disorders. The disorders Joan Crawford possessed was Bipolar, Narcissistic, Obsessive Compulsive Personality Disorder, and Borderline.

My sister also grew up with a single mother which caused her to do certain things in life. While our mother worked extremely hard to support her two children, she at times neglected the idea of guidance. She was a top provider, though not the best supporter. It was only in High School that she took bigger roles in influencing our decisions. Then, similar to the author, Wes Moore, we also had the support of our grandparents and extended

I read The Glass Castle a memoir by Jeannette Walls during my Junior year in high school. It easily became my favorite book. Walls was able to effectively communicate to her reader. She convinced me of something important: the value of having a strong family bond. Walls altered my perspective of the value of family and showed me what it took to a more compassionate person.

My book Across the Wide and Lonesome Prairie, was writing by Kristina Gregory. I choose this book, because I thought it would be cool to read about a girl traveling the Oregon Trail back in 1847.

The book I read was Just Show up. In this book there are two authors, Jill buteyn and Kara tippetts. One of the ladies who is the main author has to help finish and write the book for a women named Kara who is battling cancer. Kara does have some stories and she does write a little bit.

In semester two I read to great books The Chosen and To Kill a Mockingbird. Now both are very encouraging and uplifting. There are ups and downs about both The Chosen, To Kill a Mocking bird, but one comes out on top.

The book I chose to write about is O’ Pioneer’s By: Willa Carter. In this book, the main character Alexandra Bergson, sacrifices many things to achieve her goals.

One book or story that has helped me understand issues in our society today, would be the book I’ve read multiple times over the past two years which would be “The Boy in the Stripped Pajamas”. This book has helped me learn about the holocaust and how truly brutal it was. The boy lived in a concentration camp and was held captive by the Nazi’s (Germans). He was forced to live there with only a number to go off of. One day he will be tricked to think he is taking his first ever shower again but in reality he will be shoved into a gas chamber and burned to ashes.

For my book response I chose the book dancing with rose by Lauren Kessler. One of the reason for me choosing this book is because my great grandmother suffered from Alzheimer’s, and at the time it was happening I was too young to understand. I just remember the process being pretty hard for everyone in the family to know that she didn’t remember anything, or anyone from the past in her final moment. Knowing about Alzheimer’s now I chose this book to read because at that time it was really extremely hard for us to understand this disease, so I found this book really understanding. Alzheimer’s is an important thing and extremely difficult to deal with, so It was nice to see how someone else dealt with it and there perspective of it, Furthermore, another

Watching my mother live from pay check to pay check when I was young was difficult. It was always hard for my mom to keep up with other parents but, she still somehow managed to get me everything I wanted, and more. Even though I was too young to understand, I could feel the stress, and the struggles my mom faced every day. She was only 20 years old when I was born and, because of that she had no choice but to grow up fast. At such a young age, I saw the effects of being a single parent, and the ways it changed my mom. She not only had to be a young mother but, she had to find a way to replace the void of a father, or a father figure in my life. My mom was strong, independent and courageous. Growing up watching her live her dreams under all the circumstances she faced, made me want to strive for a better life for myself. Seeing how hard is was to live and to have enough

The story by Tillie Olsen, “I stand here ironing” is the best to me because certain aspects of this story are relatable considering I am a single mother. Emily’s mother faces many hardships through the course of Emily’s young life that have molded her into the person she is. Though, Emily’s mother seemed to do the best she could with the cards she was dealt, she seems to feel guilty about how Emily turned out. The plot, setting and points of view in this story helped to make the readers feel as if we are really living during that time period and make it an enthralling story.

Beautiful Boy by David Sheff was so gut-wrenching to read! I remember the name David Sheff from seeing him talk about it on Oprah. the strength that both Nic and David carry through the story is unbelievable I enjoyed how open and vulnerable David allowed himself to be through his writing, the pain he suffered of dealing with his son going through an addiction being the best father he could be to help his son made shed a few tears just by reading both of their struggles. I personally believe that if your a parent perhaps you can fully relate and understand the horror in seeing a child of your own with whom you love with all your heart, have an addiction is a nightmare the consuming nature of distress, and how addiction reaches every corner

In 1859 Henry Ward Beecher said, "the mother’s heart is the child’s schoolroom." I believe that statement because of experiences I’ve had with my own mother. I have learned more about life from her than from my 15 years of schooling. Over the last 20 years my mother has taught me many valuable lessons just by being a living example of compassion, thoughtfulness, and generosity. She is an angel that has protected and carried me throughout life.

At age three I said “I love you mommy.” At age seven I said, “Mom, stop kissing my cheek!” At age fifteen I say, “You’re so annoying – I can’t wait to move out!” At age eighteen, I’ll be saying “I miss home.” At age twenty-seven I’ll be saying “I miss my mom.” At age forty I’ll be saying “I miss you so much; I wish you didn’t have to go.” My mom is the sun to my shine.
