1.1.i.c. Other acts of abandonment occur when: • Children cannot live up to the expectations of their parents. These expectations are often impractical and not apt per the age . • Children are held responsible for other people's behaviour. They may be consistently blamed for the actions and feelings of their parents. • Disapproval toward children is aimed at their entire beings or identity rather than a particular behaviour, such as telling a child he is worthless when he does not do his homework

Native American boarding schools were established in the mid-1800s by mostly Christian missionaries (“What were boarding schools,” 2008). The idea of these boarding schools was to assimilate and educated indigenous children according to European standards (“What were boarding schools,” 2008). Children attending these boarding schools were required to become more European-American by changing their appearance and replacing their native names with more European-American names (Maganini, 2005).

death and they say “your bad luck.” Adeline is as forgotten as an outgrown toy. Chinese Cinderella by Adeline Yen Ma is depressing because her siblings say she is bad luck, Parents don’t let her interact with friends after school, and leave her at boarding school’s. All of Adeline’s siblings say that she is bad luck. They say this because their mother died giving birth to her (pg. 3). I think this is unfair because it’s not Adeline’s fault that her mom died. It is also unfair because Adeline doesn’t

The College continued to grow as a boys boarding school with a smaller day school component until 1971, when the first two girls were enrolled.

Polly’s mother is only thinking about money in hopes that it will help their family to escape their middle class and enter into a higher social class. Mr. Doran just happens to be the fly caught in Mrs. Mooney’s web. In “The Boarding House,” responsibility is surmounting escape. Mrs. Mooney knows that Mr. Doran is the perfect husband. He had a “good screw,” “a bit of stuff put by,” he was quiet and level-headed, unlike the other loud, conceited men, and she knows that he didn’t

exploitation. These women were being used by factory owners. Factory owners had control over what women in the mills did and also had control over what they did in the boarding houses which was a way of exploitation. Women had strict rules in the boarding houses (Eynon 8). If they did not follow these rules then one would get kicked out of the house and would lose their job. This also meant the who ever gets kicked out won’t be able to find a job around the place the mill is (“Daughters”). Factory owners would
