    The heart of the passage is made clear by the very first sentence. Rodriguez begins, “My mother is not surprised that her children are well-off” (line 1). The subject of the first sentence can be very telling as to the subject of the entire piece, and that is the case here. In fact, the entire first paragraph is totally centered on his mother -- her children, her predictions, how she thinks she’ll look when she’s old. All of that with absolutely no mention of his father. For most couples topics like pride on children’s accomplishments and plans for the future are something they share -- in an optimal situation both parents are proud of their children and their future plans include each other. However, Rodriguez only mentions his mother -- blatantly excluding his father…

    I learned although I can’t see the pain someone is in doesn’t mean it does not exist. I recognized that emotional abuse is just as bad as physical abuse, especially when it’s from the person who was supposed to protect and provide and help shape me. When I decided that I wasn’t going to let dead relationships determine my destiny or happiness, I decide to put life back into myself. I set two goals; one to never again allow a negative situation to change who I am and to only release positivity to others considering that I could be the only source of happiness for them. What I have taken away from my father’s emotional abuse and what he’s lost due to it is that words are like arsenic and only lead to a mind damaged by decay and that my wish to spread optimism is far greater than the need to claim myself…
