raise my hand, but I just couldn’t get my arm up. A couple more seconds passed where no one spoke and we moved on. Silence. I was raised in a near broken family. That one piece that was keeping the “Family” not broken was my twin brother and I. It’s hard to understand what a family should be like when you’re young and never been part of another family, so growing up I knew no better. How was I supposed to understand why my Mother and Father were constantly screaming and yelling at each other for
When we think of an all-American family, what do we think of? To me, an all-American family consists of a mother, a father, and two children, one boy and one girl. Unfortunately, today this is not the norm. We have become a society that is full of broken families. Whether good or bad, this has become a commonality for families in the United States. Growing up, I thought I had what some would call an all-American family. Well except the children. I didn’t have brothers, but I did have a mother, a
Whole Families are More Beneficial Than Broken Families When I was a child, I used to think that everyone will grow up, get married and live a happy life.

Many people do get married and may or maynot have children, but a large number of those people get a divorce. A number of studies have recently suggested that 40 and 50 percent of marriages end in divorce (Issitt 2). Since there is a large
was all anyone ever knew. The perfect family became a broken home in 2009, but not just any broken home. It became a home searching for a renewing, searching for a reconnection. With whom? Well, we did not quite know that answer at that point of our beautiful tragedy either. From the alcoholic father, to the sleepless mother, I grew up in a family that seemed perfect enough for me. My dad, my mom, my sister Charli, and I spent most weekends with my dad 's family, our friends, and my dad 's best friend
part of my brain at all times. When I take the time to sit down and dissect it, though, I can’t translate the signaling neurons into keystrokes. I can’t justify growing up believing love is a temporary fix, or that later I proclaimed the title of Broken Family after the second divorce. I can’t rationalize the polarization of my allegiance to the two halves of my whole. I can’t articulate how it feels to be passed back and forth from house to house like a talking stick at a self-help meeting or a pre-teen

Throughout the novel Reservation Blues, by Sherman Alexie, there is a recurring theme of alcoholism and broken families. Each character acts out in their own way in response to what they have been through. While reading the novel I was absorbed with how Checkers and Thomas responded with their anger. Thomas acts with peace, whereas Checkers turns to violence and bitterness. Even though they act out differently, they react alike as they grieve alone, reach out for attention and acceptance, and reject
