Finally perry’s parents split, which can also to lead to problems in children's lives, he travels with his mother and siblings to san Francisco where he constantly gets in trouble to which he blames it on having, “no rule or discipline, or anyone to show me right from wrong" (54).

This play is about stereotypes of the Mexican American family; the father who drinks a lot an alcoholic, the mother who is in long suffering, the rebellious pachuco son who doesn’t care about anything and always going jail back and forth, the daughter who is pregnant, and the righteous son who was in Marines, and tries to adapt into the mainstream culture. There is this another oldest brother, named Belarmino. He 's a man without body has only head, a dark mop of curly hair, expressive eyes and eyebrows. He is strangely funny and slightly creepy, an animal who at first can 't talk, but finally starts speaking and shows good understanding of both Spanish and English. The family is very poor to start with, but when knowing that they have to

Unoka was described as lazy, improvident and not capable of thinking about tomorrow. From this Okonkwo was ashamed of his father and strives to be nothing like him. Okonkwo’s hatred towards his father has hardened his heart and has made him incapable of being a person of compassion and understanding throughout the novel. His hatred for his father has made him fear failure and weakness throughout the story. His fear of failure has brought him to his downfall.
In my opinion, Holden is a typical teenager. In the novel, Holden seeks for independence, questions about religion that people believed, and gone through all the hard times. Throughout the entire novel, Holden barely thinks about his parents, not even doubting if his parents would ‘kill’ him if they know he gets kicked out of Pencey. He can relate to teenagers these days because teenagers are usually rebellious against their parents and do not listen to their parents most of the times. Holden 's parents do not show up in the novel, showing that his relationship with his parents is not perfect, just like others.

Perry Smith grew up in a malformed family in which his mother had “‘soured her soul’, honed her tongue to the wickedest point” and his father cruelty left them and later took out of his anger on Perry. I have heard of tons of sweet little stories to praise the selflessness of the love from parents. Nevertheless, for Perry, his father threatens him by saying that “Perry, I’m the last thing living you’re ever gonna see’, which was just caused by a biscuit. As what Perry said about his father that he was “like a child”, Perry’s father had never truly realized his responsibility for the whole family and his life. When Perry described his helplessness after walk: “the lodge was dark, and all the doors were locked.
The narrator tells the readers how Okonkwo 's life in the beginning was. Since his father was ill-fated,lazy, irresponsible, and has a bad reputation, Okonkwo did not inherit anything. He did not inherit neither a barn,nor a title, nor a young wife. The narrator tells us that when he talks about Unoka 's Oracle visit. The priestess told Unoka that he is having bad harvest due to his being lethargic.
Likewise, Dally’s parents do not care about anything he does. For instance,
