Whether or not we recognize it, the family in which one is raised or currently resides plays a pivotal role in their development and opportunities. While we should not blame our circumstance on where we came from, it is crucial that we understand how our childhood influences why we are the way we are.

  • Family Definition Essay

    1100 Words  | 5 Pages

    “Servants of a household” do not necessarily encompass the bloodlines that familial ties are known for having, especially during the 15th century where this definition included actual servants of the estate. Being a servant of the household means that person is a contributing factor in the health and fortitude of the shared living space. In a social context, people tend to call any group they are working with towards a common goal under the same pressures and hardships a “family.” One may hear evidence of this in the workplace, where coworkers are often saying things like, “Everyone works so well together here, and we’re honestly like a family!” Some refer to their fellow church members as a “church family” further pushing the idea that the definition of a family is persons you can go to in any type of hardship and working towards the betterment of each other’s lives whether living together or not.

We met whenever his family came to town, though increasingly in secret cause he was from a family which would have had little to do with mine, and we went often to the river so he could doubly defy his mother, first by going at all and second by going without her knowledge: but he never went by himself in case the river decided it wanted to claim this other brother too: though truth be told I didn’t know this about him until we were both much older. On our first shared birthday he showed me all the things you can do if you’re balanced on the top of a very tall wall: you can hang yourself off it by nothing but your hands, then by nothing but one hand: you can walk along the top of it like a cat or a rope-walking gypsy performing: you can dance: you can run along it like a squirrel or stand on it on
