She continuously ran away from home. She eventually turned to drugs, alcohol, hustling, gangbanging, and prostitution. Despite all of this, she eventually brings herself back on track as she reaches for a new goal.
Themes and Issues
Addiction: It didn’t start off as something planned, in fact it was quite unexpected. Cupcake had her first real taste of liquor at the age of 11. Her father, whom she calls sperm-donor, had taken her from her ‘daddy’ (the person she believed to be her dad all her life) and her Uncle Jr. She and her brother were given custody to their said father, who just so happened to dump them in a foster home when he found out they wouldn’t be getting any

It wasn’t just the world however, she was angry at people, the people who failed to protect her, as well as the ones who hurt her. She was angry at god even, she felt as if he had allowed it all so happen, and so she hated him for it. She held so much anger inside of her, yet she didn’t realize how much she held. She took to drugs and liquor, preferring to party all night rather than seek help like some wanted her to. She hated school and no longer cared, by the time she was around 16 she simply stopped going. During that time, she had suffered many pregnancies, which all seemed to end up in miscarriages or more often than not, abortions. She eventually convinced herself that she wasn’t a junkie because she was able to get a job (which she lied to get) with a G.E.D (which she had a former friend fake) at an attorney’s office. She spent every dime she had on drugs, even the money she had acquired from her mother’s insurance, every single cent. She fell into a trance, angry from the drugs and alcohol she continuously consumed, she remained

    Andrea Yates was born on July 2nd, 1964, In Houston, Texas. She was a stellar student and valedictorian. She was a member of the National Honor Society and captain of the Swim team, and finished second in her high school graduating class of 1982. From high school she then worked at the University of Texas M.D. Anderson Cancer Center from 1986 to 1994. She married Rusty Yates in 1933, who was a disciple of preachers Michael Peter Woroniecki. Their family was very strict and conservative, being big supports of the Christian family. The Woronieckis were known to condemned the Yates’ family for their Christian values and they said “their children were doomed to hell because of their parent’s sins.” This looks a little intense in some cases. Andrea was treated for postpartum depression and psychosis, which are illnesses that run in her family genes.

After the birth of her fourth child and the death of her father, she went into severe depression and was forcefully admitted to Devereux-Texas treatment network.

    Andrea Yates had battled with postpartum depression for years and on June 20, 2001, she drowned all five children in the bathtub of her home. Ultimately the underlining cause of her actions was caused by postpartum psychosis that was triggered by Andrea’s improper use of her medication, failure to adhere to her doctor’s advice after treatment, and her lack of knowledge of coping techniques commonly used by women who suffer from postpartum depression. Postpartum depression can take up to a year after the birth of a child before the mother would even notice the signs of depression and in Yates’s case if left untreated can have a tragic affect on the person and everyone around him or her.…

    One can clearly see this when the narrator states that “one’s own husband, assures friends and relatives that there is really nothing the matter with one but temporary nervous depression.” This distinctly indicates that the narrator is afflicted with depression, since her husband has diagnosed her with this disorder. One is also inclined to believe that this illness is the result of childbirth and a condition known as post-partum depression. In line 33, the narrator says that “we took the nursery at the top of the house.” After reading this, one can comprehend that the narrator has recently given birth. Later on in the text, the narrator exclaims in anger after saying that she was not allowed to enter the nursery; much less, see her own child. This cruel separation from her child may not be the root of her depression, rather hormone imbalances that spike different chemicals responsible for emotion that release in one’s brain, leading to a mental disorder. Post-partum depression is common because of this fact (Pick). Such profound depression like the one the narrator finds herself in, can prove to be terrible in the sense that it can build into true hallucinogenic…

    An important trend occurring in the world economy is the process of globalization. Globalization is the progressive integration between national economies and the breaking down of barriers between trade and financial flows around the world, which will eventually lead to the emergence of a single world market. Globalization has affected many different nations in different ways, depending on their degree of development and extent to which they are open to the flows of the world economy. China, which is one of the developing countries, is said to be the next economic super power. Many guru economists such as Lawrence Summers predict that in the opening decades of the 21st century, china will match the US and Japanese economies.
