    I’ve been with my mom for about five years going through emotional moments and times, but I still see her wake up everyday, feed us, and go to work. I see my dad come home some days at 12am, get about 4 hours of sleep, and wake up for his next job. I try to acknowledge these sacrifices and not be a bad child to compensate. I am sure this is not enough. I see all the work my parents are doing, knowing all they ask for is for us to be successful in life. I will make sure of that and more, getting their retirement earlier than they think. But first things first,…

    Kathryn Tyler gives a good example of how parents were being super overprotective with their children and how that caused them not to be reliable for themselves. Tyler said something that really caught my eye, “Parental involvement in the lives of their offspring seems to be increasing every year. I’ve seen parents come to campus protesting a low-grade. When I caught one student cheating on a paper, his mom called and demanded I let him write a new paper”, in my opinion, I strongly agree with the writer's point of view. A lot of teenagers today are really in dependable because their parents have solved everything for them, but why?…

    Because of their lack of the father role example. I defintively think that my mother did a great job representign both roles.

    The slender story line depicts a young girl moving through a sequence of striking landscapes. The accompanying text is deliberately spare. The text often serves as a caption for the colour saturated pictures. In essence, each picture conveys a visual representation of an overwhelmingly, at times, depressed mood.…

    As I began reading the short story of Senior Picture Day by Michele Serros, my expectations were low on excitement. I was expecting to read a rather bland story of how a young teenage girl had to conquer a million defeats in order to take the perfect senior picture. However, to my astonishment the short and sweet story pulled at my heartstrings. I could empathize with “Cal Girl” having endured a similar situation in my own teenage years. This story depicted only one small issue between friends yet, is able to articulate the feelings and everlasting concerns of body image and friendships women face during the adolescent years.…

    This became very difficult during the Great Depression. Rather than blame the banks or the sock market or anything else, most fathers blamed themselves. They could no longer provide for their families, for whatever reason, and rather than externalize the blame, they felt that it was their fault and they felt ashamed. As a result, many children took on more responsibilities at an early age. They had to comfort and take care of their despairing parents.…

    In an article written by Diane Dew, titled The Trouble Teens Face, It was stated that in recent years the media has been flooded with articles about the problems teens face. These problems range from drugs and violence, to pregnancy and abortion. I want discuss abortion because it is such an important issue for my generation. Since the 19th century English common law forbade abortion. Abortion prior to quickening was a misdemeanor and then a felony. In 1967 the first two states to make abortion legal was Colorado and California. By June 1970 New York passed its first abortion on demand law with a 24 week limit. It was the 16th state to allow abortion when the other states were still very restrictive. They only allowed abortions for pregnancies involving rape, incest, life of the mother or fetal handicap.…

The one thing that strikes me is…

    The support of father doesn’t only shape the future of a child, but it also establishes an in depth connection between father and child. Without that connection a dad loses sight of what is occurring in his kid’s life. For example, in Rhodes essay she mentions, “Dads are suppose to be there for the good times and in the bad... when my boyfriend dumped me and I cried for three days…he still doesn’t know about it” (Rhodes). The lack of emotional support with a child leads to a father being oblivious to his child’s personality because he wasn’t there to see what emotions were let out in different situations. “Children living with a never-married mother are more likely to have been treated for emotional problems” (Remez). That is a great reason why the support of a father is needed, kids shouldn’t have to have emotional problems because it takes a toll on the way…

    Obviously, there is demise in the relationship between the parents, but the relationships directly with the children are now critical and must be recognized and supported. Additional apparent stresses upon such relationships are economic, concerns of loyalty, parental conflict, and the previous level of nurturance prior to divorce. Children often feel they are caught in the middle of their parent’s conflict (Gilman, Schneider & Shulak, 2005). Children living with parents who seek to contain and/or resolve their conflicts, will fare much better over the course of time than children who live in the midst of parental conflict( Gilman, Schneider & Shulak, 2005). At the same time, children who continue a warm and loving relationship with parents and feel that their parents understand their experience will also fare better than children who have a less nurturing relationship with their parents (Gilman, Schneider & Shulak,…

    Although there is a multitude of prevalent, blatant acts of racism throughout To Kill A Mockingbird by Harper Lee that one may point out with ease, there also exist overlooked instances of racism in which theoretically good characters allow usually veiled racism to creep into a conversation or event. The utilization of both conspicuous acts of racism as well as more normalized acts of racism creates a well-balanced spectrum that draws a detailed picture of racism that spans the reality of decades, from the 1930’s setting of the novel to modern times. In fact, several characters in the novel are the epitome of differing points on the aforementioned spectrum. Throughout To Kill A Mockingbird, Harper Lee develops the theme of racism with the…

    During the last quarter of the 19th century the United States was transitioning into a new country with the rise of a second industrial revolution and the downfall of the nation’s economy. There was an extreme growth within the industrial empire along with the expansion of the railroad empire which took over millions of acres of land. An economic struggle began where the rich became richer and the poor were living in bad conditions. The novel “Gospel of Wealth” is written, where it states that people with money should share their proceeds of gains with the less fortunate. Failure begins to strike in industries taking a toll on the United States economy and leading the country into its first economic depression. The economic and industrial failures during Gilded Age are the beginning to the downfall of the United States, which is why I feel this period of time should be called the Age of Anxiety.…
