522 Words3 Pages

“Family is not always blood. It is the people in your life who want you in theirs. The ones who accept you for who you are. The ones who would do anything to see you smile, and who love you no matter what.” –Unknown-

This quote is powerful it says even if you are not related people can still be your family to love, and support you. It shows that someone can have unconditional love for you no matter who you are, or where you come from. The biggest influence that impacts a person’s life the most is family. If you do not have a family to love you, support you, and pick you up when you fall, you have nothing.

The Michael Oher story is a perfect example of love, and support. Michael was in need, and the Touhy family took him in, and treated him like their own. Mrs. Touhy said in an ABC News interview “I just think Michael needed somebody, and it was evident that there was nobody in his life, and it just broke my heart. And very quickly, I just fell in love with him.” Mrs. Touhy cared, and saw Michael was in need, and so their family took him in to their home to not only love him, but support him, and help him so he did not go down the wrong path.

Nevertheless, as said already the Touhy family loved, supported, and cared for Michael. This is something Michael had never had before, and because of all of these things Michael had the drive and courage to keep moving forward. The Touhy family was the key for Michael to success. In the ABC News interview Collins Touhy said “I was Collins he was Michael and that was pretty much it…he was like a brother to me.” The whole family loved Michael for who he was, and it did not matter where he came from, or the color of his skin. All that mattered was that he knew they were there no matter

  • Michael Jackson Accomplishments

    Michael was unable to acquire the basic strength of competence because he was scolded by his father and not allowed to have a normal childhood. Assuming that Michael’s father had always been physically abusive to his children, the level of abuse probably increased around the latency stage for Michael when he would have first became a member of the Jackson 5 at six years old. The latency stage is critical for social relationships and interactions because this is the time when school begins and a child can be around peers of his/her own age. This is usually when self-esteem or self-confidence is developed through peer interaction, so failing this stage can result in a child having a difficult time making friends and building lasting relationships. For Michael, the punishment and ridicule that he received resulted in him feeling inferior and inadequate in his ability as a performer in his father’s

  • The Late Decalogue Analysis

    701 Words  | 3 Pages

    Inverted values for Victorian society in the Clough’s Latest Decalogue “The Latest Decalogue” (1862) by Arthur John Clough is an indirect criticism of the Victorian society, a satire, in which the values promoted are inverted, in order to emphasize the religious and social unrest. The context is also relevant in understanding the poem; this means that the Victorian Age was influenced by the revolutions, which came up with new ideas, new values such as freedom, social mobility, industrial and social development. The title of the poem is formed by an adjective (”the latest”) and a noun (”Decalogue”). Intertextuality comes up here, because Decalogue is another term for the Ten Commandments appearing the Bible in Exodus 20:2-17 and in Deuteronomy 5:6-21.
