The purpose of this project is to research your family lineage. The history of the African American family structure was fragmented due to slavery, lack of documentation, and instability within the African American social structure. Knowing the lineage and heritage of your family often explains many traits that you carry today.…

Next to Normal contains both core and high concepts. In my opinion, the core concept attempts to make mental illness relatable to the audience. For the song “My Psycho-pharmacologist and I”, a giant pill bottle prop and many smaller pill bottles are shown on stage to give the audience an idea of how much of an ordeal it is for Diana to treat her mental illness. Throughout the show, the colors and direction of lighting are used to create a surreal atmosphere in which nothing feels ‘real’ for Diana. Even Diana’s costuming aims for relatability. Although Diana is struggling to keep herself afloat, she still wears in bright colored dresses. This is a really interesting choice because it alludes to Diana’s longing for control. Although everything…

The three people that define who I am are my mother, Grandfather Henry and auntie Lydia. I adore these three people so much because everyone might walk out on me in time of need, but my family will always be there for me. They are my real family.…
I am thankful for my grandparents because they took me in when no one else could. They jumped in the moment I needed and were there for me then and still are now. They put up a wall upstairs and I officially moved in I have been living with them for four and half to five years now. My grandma and I also bake and make food together. My grandmother was the one who made me interested in cooking and baking. Every night she would make herself a salad or something she liked, she would make something else for my grandfather, and them for me. She did this almost every night of every week and never ate until we had our food. They’re loving because they always put me first and make sure that I am doing good in school and that I am happy. If we ever go on a trip they will go somewhere for me even if they don’t want to because they want to make my experience the best that they possibly can. My grandparents are simply two of the most wonderful people I have ever met.…

Although I am a little rough around the edges, I have a soft spot in my heart for those whom I love. My family keeps me going through the good, the bad, and the ugly. My parents are still happily married, even through twenty-two years of putting up with four children. My three sisters are amazing. Their names are Shannon, Ashley, and Lynnsy. I do, in fact, play favorites when it comes to siblings. Ashley is my favorite because she is always around helping me with whatever I need. I also am very close to my cousin, Matt Hare, and his family. I consider everyone an acquaintance because I do not like to get too close to people emotionally. If there was ever anything that any of my family needed, I would do everything I could to help them obtain it..…

I would have to say that I have a good relationship with everyone on my mom's side compared to my dad's side. My grandfather lives in Puerto Rico and we only see him during Christmas time. He divorced my grandmother a couple years before I was born and I absolutely hate his wife. I love my grandmother, even though I don't see her as much either. But we aren't as close as I am with my other grandmother. I seriously think that my aunt is insane, therefore I don't talk to her as much as I should. My cousin is attending college in some state that I am unaware of, so that should say enough about my relationship with him. I really wish I was closer with him, though. Then comes my dad. To be honest, I don't love my father. Sometimes I think that I'm a really bad person for not loving him, but I can't help it. He and I barely exchange words around the house. There is just something about him that I don't respect.…
Speaking of my family I have three sisters and one brother not counting in-laws. My oldest sister Makayla is married to John. John’s cool because he likes to play basketball too. Now Christa just got married to Cory he's my favorite, no offense to John, but, Cory likes guns and hunting and as a bonus, he has a snowmobile. My older brother, Colin, is going to college to be an engineer, although I very often question his methods of doing things, I think he will do well. Colin and I get along pretty well because we share a lot of the same interests. My little sister, Kianna, on the other hand, I can’t say the same for. We don’t exactly get along. She is so spoiled and always gets what she wants. Someone else in my life that I pretty much consider family is Stasia. She’s dating my brother, but she is honestly at my house more than I am. She’s not too bad she buys me food and I give her…

My family is a small family with only five members. My mother, my father, two sisters, and one brother. My mother worked in food and beverages, tunica co school, and sxp warehouse.

Jessica and Jennifer feel more like sisters to me than cousins. During my life, my mom has never been around. Throughout my younger years, I needed direction on growing into my female body. My cousins taught me how to take care of myself. We have always been there emotionally for each other. A special day for me was when I got to stand up beside my cousins in Jessica’s wedding. I felt closer to them on that day than ever before.…
