Summary: Blood Brothers
I picked this passage/quote because what is a family if siblings don’t fight. Jude said this to Noah after he blurted out that she was jealous. Jude was jealous, but not because Noah and their mother had a stronger bond. Because her mother didn’t look at her drawings. She only saw Noah’s and liked them a lot. This novel worked so well with my theme with the twins fighting the parents not knowing what’s going on but hurting the situation more because they don’t love each other like they use to. Siblings teasing each other and knowing that they hurt each other’s feelings. After Noah said that she was jealous and Jude said, “She’s my mom too. Why can’t you share?” Noah felt so guilty at that moment and wanted to apologize immediately. He felt like Jude didn’t have a good enough reason to be jealous because she had dad on her side. …show more content…
Noah thought that it was cool that his mom favored him over Jude, but wanted his father to know that Noah wanted to become the guy his dad imagined. Noah and his dad were watching football and talking sports when Jude was out surfing with her boyfriend, and their mom was seeing someone else. Their mother went crazy for a bit by saying that she started to bake even though she didn’t like to, and she would always lie about where she was going until Noah found out that she was seeing someone.When Noah and Jude’s mother died it wasn’t the same they weren’t NoahandJude anymore they switched lives. I know that family isn't perfect, but when this book started it seemed perfect, then everything came crashing down. Noah couldn’t stop his mom from going to give the divorce papers to his dad, and that’s when she died. Noah blames himself for his mother leaving that day, and it changed his life

    Willy Russell uses the contrast of characters to show the major difference in social class in the play Blood Brothers. Mrs Johnstone was the first character introduced to us in the play. In 'Blood Brothers ' Mrs Johnstone lives in a poor end of Liverpool, struggling to bring up eight children on her own and is forced to give one away to keep the others clothed and fed well enough, whereas Mrs Lyons, whom she works for, lives in a large house, very comfortably in a nice part of Liverpool, she wants children but is unable to have any, even though she is rich, unlike Mrs Johnstone. Mrs Johnstone is portrayed as a stereotypical working class mother. In the introductory song, Russell uses Mrs Johnstone to create this stereotype. "We got married at the Registry an ' then we had a 'do” Mentioning the Registry, Russell is trying to show that working class people are unable to fund a wedding in a church. Also, using the term 'do ' Russell is exemplifying the language that people of a working class background use, unlike somebody of upper class who would probably use the term 'wedding reception. ' However, Mrs Johnstone proves she is aspiring to be Upper Class when Russell uses her opinions of an upper class lifestyle. “We all had curly salmon sandwiches.” Mrs Johnstone, like all stereotypical working class people thinks that salmon sandwiches make them look as if they were upper class. Also, the reference to the “curl” of the sandwiches implies that they have been made and were prepared much earlier, which once again conveys their social class. Also, on the wedding theme, “An’ how the ale did flow”, this shows how poorly these people’s expectations are. At a stereotypical wedding, people drink wine, or Champagne, but because of lack of money, and the rush to get married due to the pregnancy of Mrs Johnstone, the guests drink ale. Also, this suggests that all the friends at the wedding reception, or “do” are working class people.…

Aaron did not get the opportunity to talk about issues with her, such as being bullied or the talk about the birds and the bees. Aaron had to keep to himself, since no one was around. He learned to be a listener, not a talker. Although Aaron and his mother did not have deep conversations, they loved each other deeply, and they both knew it. A prime example was that Aaron’s mother came to his senior day of baseball, the first game she ever came to, and that greatly touched his heart. The most memorable time of Aaron’s life was two days before he left for Northwestern. Aaron and his mother had a real, deep talk.

    Siblings ultimately share an “intense emotional tie” connecting them together (Schilb 346). This emotional tie is like an unsaid pact that siblings have that binds them together for life. This pact can build siblings relationships and draw them closer, or eventually discourage them and draw them apart. Growing up with a sibling tends to be very hard and very intense. Siblings are always in a constant battle consciously or unconsciously trying to one up their fellow brothers and/or sisters. This subconscious battle is what causes sibling rivalry. Especially in an older sibling, who is always trying to out do their younger sibling and would do anything to accomplish dominance. Jealously is the sole driver that causes a sibling to want…

    The United States (U.S.) Criminal Justice System (CJS) consists of three interconnected branches that rely on communication and collaborative efforts to function and meet the needs of society. The three CJS branches of law enforcement, courts, and corrections can appear autonomous but it is common for all three branches to share responsibilities and rely on information collected from various areas of the CJS. Some examples of necessary collaboration and communication situations between CJS branches include legal searches, investigations, and pre-sentence reporting. Supreme Court decisions or major state cases will also influence the roles and responsibilities of the CJS branches at both the state and federal levels (Fagin, 2017). Lastly, research…
