    His mother and he depended on each other for everything. However, Aaron said that they were not always very close to each other. 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. She explained to him how much she would miss him, for he was all she had. She apologized for the way he had to be raised, in poor conditions with no father. Although it was a sad conversation, Aaron loved it, and he said, “Nothing will break the bond between me and my mother.”…

    This can be seen when Matthew is expressively explaining to Amy as to why he thinks her life isn’t great. As one of his points, he argues, “You don’t have any real friends because no one acts like themselves around you. You’re always with an adult,” (McGovern, 22). This is significant because Matthew shows that his outside inferences make him believe Amy is unable to make friends since cerebral palsy requires her to always have an aide. Due to this necessity, Amy is unable to share her interests and feelings with anyone, and isn’t able to fulfil her dream of having solid friendships in her life. To add onto that, a scarcity of social life is also evident when Amy is being told by her parents that she is not allowed living in a regular college residence. Amy, infuriated, asks her mother (in her computer-generated voice), “‘SO I HAVE TO LIVE IN THE INFIRMARY?’ ‘Of course not. You won’t be in the infirmary. You’ll be next door,’” (McGovern, 259). Even though Amy knows her capabilities, her mother assumes that she is not able to live on her own. What she doesn’t know is that because of moving Amy, she is limiting Amy’s sociability with everyone else at the school that lives together. Amy is in fact a very friendly and talkative person, despite the obstacle of using a voice computer machine to speak. But due to her disability and the problems connected with it, she suffers…

    Amy Tan Sympathy

    The events in Amy Tan’s story, “ Two Kinds”, cause the reader to feel sympathy for both the mother and the daughter. In the story, the daughter is put through countless tests and longs to prove her importance and the mother has struggled with losing people important to her. After reading over the story, I found that I most sympathize with the daughter because of her constant struggle of failure and not feeling like she is enough. One quote that shows my claim above is in the third paragraph of the short story; “…

    All the Living

    I think the pattern that I began to see as I was reading was the fact that everyone wanted love. Orren lost his Emma and Cash in a car accident and he has been on his own since then and once he met Aloma he thought he was in love he was searching for the family he lost and with Aloma he got just that. Aloma was the closest thing to family that Orren had. On the other hand Aloma is also in search of love growing up in the boarding school she didn’t have much family. When she met Orren he was her first love and like most girls she was blinded by her first love. She dropped everything to go be with Orren. I always say you never know someone to live with them. Orren and Aloma saw the best and worst of each other. Aloma was very selfish and always wanted things to go her way; she didn’t understand Orren had to take care of the farm to make a living for them. At times Orren would talk to Aloma like she was his child, if I was Aloma I would want to get away from the house if I was being treated like her. With going away and going to the church she met Bell and she then found out that Bell had feelings for her. After time passed she started having feelings toward Bell. Aloma didn’t know what she wanted to do she just wanted to be happy but she was misleading Bell and being unfaithful because she didn’t tell Orren about her and Bell’s feelings toward each other. What I liked about All the Living is that Morgan shows us love that is both simple and complicated at the same time. In the end, it’s not the cracking thunderstorm that signals the turning point in Orren and Aloma’s relationship, nor Aloma buying new chickens with the money she made at church, nor the birth of a calf, but Orren’s simple declaration that he needs her help in the field, and Aloma comes to realization that she wants to help him because she understands he is doing this so they can have a better…

    Amy’s isolation and disconnection from her culture and other characters worsened after Charlie’s death. When Amy wondered and groped about Charlie’s death, no one could tell her what had really happened or how he felt or what he was thinking before he died. Amy remembered back to when the news came to her of Charlie’s death. It was two officers at her door, Amy welcomed the officers in and they told her to have a seat. Only one officer spoke and said “on the Bruckner Boulevard Expressway….head on collision…dead on arrival… didn’t suffer too long…nobody was with him, but we found his wallet.” Amy didn’t want to believe it she was saying the officers were lying, but she finally realized that it was reality and that Charlie was dead. Charlie’s death really hurt her deep and worsened her emotionally.…
