She uses brings in the emotion of loss when she alludes to the loss of true relationships even within the family. The author describes a 15 year old boy’s relationship with his father as one lacking face to face communication. “One 15-year-old I interviewed at a summer camp talked about her reaction when she went out to dinner with her father and he took out his phone to add “facts” to their conversation. “Daddy,” she said, “stop Googling. I want to talk to you.”

For instance, when Jem, Scout and Dill were trying to see if they could get Boo out of his house but instead were almost shot at by his brother, Nathan, Jem's pants got torn and left behind he comes back to find them " sewed up" like something "he'd try to do." Just waiting for him to come and pick them up. Another time Boo was generous was when Miss Maudie's house caught on fire and Scout was waiting out the cold and didn’t even realize that she had the blanket until her dad pointed it out. Atticus says, "'We'd better keep this and the blanket to ourselves. Someday, maybe, Scout can thank him for covering her up.' 'Thank who?'

Sunday Night Madness It was an early Sunday morning and everyone in town was at church except for one suspicious man, Allen Fade. Allen was 24 and the only child or family member left. Unfortunately, Allen did not believe in religion and thought it was all wrong. When he was younger, he use to go to church every Sunday until one day he got really sick. Not only was he really sick and could not go that night, but his sister and parents were reported missing and said they has died the one night he did not go.

Then the money would be gone and the refrigerator would be empty again” (Walls 67). Rose Mary did not provide an income for the family, she spends most of her time immersed in various artistic projects, though never ones that could support her family.

Sonny Blues Paul Pearshall once said “Our most basic instinct is not for survival but for family. Most of us would give our own life for the survival of a family member, yet we lead our daily life too often as if we take our family for granted”. In this story the conflict of responsibility takes place. A brother, who happens to be the narrator, blames his self for the events that takes place in his life, such as his brother sonny’s crack addiction. The Narrator feels responsible for his brother’s heroin addiction because he believed he shut his brother’s career goals down, felt as though he went against what his mother asked him to do, and because he chose not to believe that the way he treated his brother affected his brother life.

He came home from his summer job one day with a high fever, achy joints, and a rash. Fourteen hours after the appearance of his symptoms, Ryan’s heart stopped. He had not been vaccinated, although it was available. His mother has regretted not vaccinating him every day since Ryan’s sudden death (Cunningham 49). Although his school did not require him to be vaccinated at the time, would he be dead today if it had?

The truth is that in our society education is highly important to have stability in life, so it makes sense that his parent were worried when he said he did not want to go to college. If I was in their place, I too would have wanted the best for McCandless and insisted he get a good education. I do think that McCandless is admirable for following his own path and not worrying about society's standards. At the same time, he seems a bit selfish despite his charity. He seems like he wants to impose his views on others because he thinks he is right, and when people do not completely agree, he cuts them out of his life.

When love is involved our differences do not separate or stop us, and this is an example of love overcoming hate and winning the battle. Preston's awareness at his young age is impressive and gives his movement more weight. To see how thankful and motivated he is about honoring veterans helps us all remember veterans sacrifices and nobility (Graham). Honoring veterans is Preston's goal, as his motto says "We need to honor veterans every day and not just on a holiday” (Robinson).

Is Odysseus a hero or a villain? In my eyes he is a hero struggling to do the best he can but often finds things don't always go as planned. One of the many reasons I believe this is because he shows that he cares for his comrades. He tried at great measures to help his men return home to Ithaca alive. When he faced the Cyclops he stabbed his eye, so the men could get away.

Piedmont, California the thirty-first of August was a day Dipper both loved and hated. It meant he had survived another year without Bill Cipher rearing his triangular head, but that he was a year closer to that eventuality. On one particular paranoid night, Dipper ground up moonstone and unicorn hair into a mystical ink; then he slipped out to a shady tattoo parlor with a fake id and two years worth of saved allowance. Now, six months after that incident Dipper was trying to figure out how to hide the ward he had inscribed on his left arm from his parents. It wouldn't be a problem, but Mable thought it would be a good idea to have her sweet sixteen on the beach.

Mia’s D’Var Torah Shabbat Shalom: Do you know anything about war? My Torah portion is about war and who should go to war. How many people do you know have gone to war? I have lots of family members who have served in the military and some have even gone to war.

3 FAMILY, COMMUNICATION, HONESTY Leadership Philosophy: Family, Communication, and Honesty SSG Zohfeld SLC Class - 002 The best way to describe my leadership philosophy is with the word care. I have been told many times in my career that I care too much. The idea that caring about the unit, the mission, or your Soldiers could be a bad thing is absurd. The idea that I cared too much would become apparent while assigned to 3rd Brigade, 3rd Infantry Division.

One advantage to being in the military, you could possibly move across the United States and even travel the world. If you are a person who likes adventures, this could be perfect. However, if you are a service member with a young family that has to travel, it can be stressful and challenging. Moving disrupts family routines and social relationships. If children are school aged, it means transitioning to a new school and having to make new friends, while leaving old friends behind.
