The Glass Castle: How The Walls Family Lived Without Welfare

In Aurora Guerrero’s Mosquita y Mari those expectations that have been traditionally set by society are demolished. Even Mari who has very low societal expectations to meet is seen as valuable in the class room even as she is working to help support her family, even though a child working in this novel is seen as being inappropriate but in other works seen as necessary. In works such as Chicana Goes to College, the main female characters are projected to the reader as being less useful than a man and that they should be at home having babies not be going to school to create a future for themselves because society in Chicana Goes to College believes she will end up in that position anyway. Where as women are expected to work and run a household in Chicana Goes to College, Aurora Guerrero wrote, Mari working to be inappropriate since Mari is a child and should be living as such, but still allows for the reader to see the traditions stuck in her families ways, more so when compared to Yolandas family

The book continued to show the ignorance of some of those with better social statuses, who only believed the poor deserved what they got and that they were still needed in society. It is especially down to the point because it comes from Florent’s own sister-in-law, Lisa. “It would be wrong of you to put their happiness at risk. It’s only homeless people, who’ve got nothing to lose, who want to see the shooting start,” as Lisa says to her husband and Florent’s brother, Quenu. The book is critical of her not being brave enough to stand up to those in charge and that she is only falling into their trap.

Whenever confronted by a problem, his “hero complex” is the one to dictate his actions. Knowing that he is primary source of dependence for Setsuko after losing their mom, he takes up the responsibility in taking care of her. Seita wants to be a hero for his younger sibling, even if meant disregarding the help of better authority. This is quite evident in the scenes leading up to his departure from the shelter of his aunt’s house. Despite his nationalist view, he doesn’t take upon any responsibility to help the country by finding a job or serving in the fire brigade, which was a trait his aunt despised.

As a kid we barely scraped by eating cheap dollar items while trying to live properly. We relied greatly on friends and their support through our struggles. My mom decided she wanted no more children after me due to this, but birth control and other methods she tried did not work. In the end there are now six of us kids and that creates a huge bill. My mom wants to support me and do her best to give me everything I want, but there are limits to what one woman can do.

English is of the opinion in her work “What do Grown Children Own their Parents? That there are things “…that children ought to do for their parents, but they do not owe them things.” She is in favor of friendship bonding more than the parental duties because she believes that “…friendship is characterized by mutuality rather than reciprocity: friends offer what they can give and accept what they need…” (English, 1992, p. 758) The major point being made in the objection is that there are unrequested sacrificed made by the friends and these do not even create the debt and friends also have duties which are regardless of whether they have requested them or initiated the given friendship. This makes the relationship of friendship to be superior and also is not characterized by favors which are found in the parent’s

Not being able to choose their own extracurricular can end up in resentment towards the parents because one’s individual growth mentally is being hindered. Chua ends of with writing that “Western parents try to respect their children’s individuality, encouraging them to pursue their true passions, supporting their choices, and providing positive reinforcement and a nurturing environment.” Whereas the Chinese believe that “the best way to protect their children is by preparing them for the future, letting them see what they’re capable of, and arming them with skills, work habits and inner confidence that no one can ever take away” -But in the end all parents really do want to accomplish, is the happiness, safety and health of their children whatever way they may see fit.

Henry is behind in literacy. He does not want to engage in reading activities with anyone but his mother and struggles to engage in other literacy activities all together. Henry not wanting to read with anyone but his mother is possibly due to the special one-on-one activity of having her read to him. It could be that Henry sees reading and other literacy activities as being something between him and his mother only.

My topic that I am researching, parent engagement discusses the important affects of parent involvement academically. An argument for parent engagement is low income diverse families have no involvement in their child 's learning.

It is implied that Meursault felt no grief when his mother died because Camus did not have a good relationship with his mother, especially after his father’s death. He failed multiple marriages, was denied from military enlistment, and lost his jobs. After these occurrences, Camus does not really feel any meaning to life. In the novel, Meursault normally feels indifferent toward events that the average person would have at least some emotion.
