Sho, a twelve-year-old boy, and his sister Saya, seventeen, were left alone when their parents died in a business appointment overseas. They were left with billions of cash and a home from their parents’ mining business, so surviving was not a problem but living would be tough for the orphan siblings. They had to hold onto each other tightly more than ever, for all that’s left is their bond.
Sho has only one friend who always listens to his problems; gives him advice and a bright smile. Her name is Namie; they spend every time playing together, going outdoors, telling stories about their dream futures and of course listening to him play the piano.

    For PIEER, I read “The Bond” book, and I enjoyed reading chapter 12. I learned many different things from this book such as this statement “With all the calamities in our midst, our choices will affect our children and our children’s children and indeed the world for all time”. In addition, I learned from it, volunteers and donations are the most significant way to help the community and spread the joyful among people. The author expresses selfishness and altruism are the more contagious behavior spread rapidly in small groups. In addition, altruism creates giving a network of pay-it-forward. I believed in this statement, “For every act of kindness or generosity you do for a friend, he pays it forward to his friend and his friends’ friends…

    When an individual has a strong bond with a sibling who becomes sick, they feel a sense of responsibility in keeping them alive. The individual cherishes their sibling to the extent that they consider their sibling the centre of their world and their second half. When this loved one becomes sick and is diagnosed with acute depression, the individual’s immediate reaction is to do all that they can to help their sibling. Because the siblings share such a strong bond, the individual feels a sense of responsibility in helping and healing their sick sibling. This is portrayed through the relationship between Yolandi and her sister, Elfreida. Yolandi treasures her sister a lot and even goes so far as to label her, “her favourite person in the world,” and that she needed her “in order to survive.” When Elf becomes weary of life and is insistent on killing herself, Yoli desperately “wants her to stay” and to keep her alive.…

    Parents and grandparents sometimes gave us something unique that is usually worthy. Regardless of the price, it is very important and precious. These gifts are not limited to something physical, it can be a phrase, a story, a skill or even taking to a place. In “Kim Wilde” by Marjan Satrapi and “Once More to The Lake” by E.B. White, both are getting something from their families that satisfies them eventually. In both stories that have been written in narrative format, we determine the importance of families on the children’s feelings and perspectives over the time. At the end of both stories, the change of perspective of the narrators is obvious. The stories have similarities but, they have significant differences. In “Kim Wilde” we see that the family is giving the gift from their trip to the child that was demanded, and in “Once More to the lake” we see that the father is taking his son to a lake to spend…

    In Lahiri’s “A Temporary Matter”, the reader is introduced to Shoba, a woman who seems disorganized and who seems to not care about her looks, and her husband Shukumar. It is clear that the couple has been having difficulty communicating with one another and that their relationship has been drastically changed. The story is narrated in Shukumar’s point of view and he tells the reader stories about how the relationship used to be. He tells about how Shoba used to be a neat and organized person, but now she is somewhat lazy and messy. The reader also learns that Shoba used to cook for the two of them but now, Shukumar does all the cooking and cleaning in the house while Shoba works overtime every day. It is revealed to the reader that months prior to the start of the story, a pregnant Shoba went into labor and her child was born dead. Shukumar was not present when this occurred because he was at a conference which Shoba pushed him to go to. On his way to the conference he is thinking about what it will be like when the baby is born. He says, “He imagined a day when he and Shoba might need to buy a station wagon of their own, to cart their children back and forth from music lessons and dentist appointments” (Lahiri 3). This quote shows that he is very excited to become a parent and it also demonstrates his guilt that he was not there when Shoba miscarried. Throughout the course of the story, the couple reveals things to one another that they have never told. On the last night, Shoba reveals that she is moving out, and Shukumar reveals that he held their baby before it was cremated. This is particularly hard on Shoba because she herself did not even hold the baby. Shoba’s miscarriage caused a major communication gap between the couple. Since they never took the time to talk about it when it happened, they both had pent up feelings which they were unable to share with…
