Differences And Similarities Between Norma Alaniz And Diana Dunbar

Improved Essays
A relationship is a strong bond shared between two people who have different backgrounds or personalities. My aunts, Norma Alaniz and Diana Dunbar are completely different because they have opposite personalities, attitudes about life, and work ethic. Although, they have different personalities, they do share one trait; they never take their lives for granted and spend every moment like their last.
My aunt Norma’s personality is approachable; she has always been a fun person to be around. She makes strangers feel like they have known each other forever, and also ready to have a good time whether it is with family, friends, or a stranger.

She is adamantine on us, because she want for us to be able to have the life that she wasn’t able to have. I also believe that my aunt is wise. For an example, when I failed my quiz and I feared the risk of what could happen, she redirected my thinking and told me to talk about it with my teacher. I was able to retake the test because of the advice that my aunt had gave to me. She knows exactly what to say when I am going through a difficult time. My aunt has an unbelievable work ethic; she is always toiled and striving to be the best at her job. She never waits for someone to hand her something, but instead earns it for herself. At times, I can see how the task maybe difficult, but she never gives up. This is why I believe that my aunt is a hard worker with a great work ethic. My aunt Diana also has a similar outlook on life as my aunt Norma, her mindset is “be thankful for waking up another day.” She is always upholding and contributing love to those around

    From traveling the world together to settling down and having children, no matter how much you connect to someone on a personal level or enjoy doing the same things, if you don’t have similar goals for life, it will most definitely be a challenge to make a relationship work with that person. For example, John wants “…a mortgage-free farm; then a new house and pretty clothes for [Ann]… [and] to him it only seemed right that he…should slave away fifteen hours a day to give them to her. ”(Ross 229). While Ann, “…she wanted…something of John, not pretty clothes when she would be too old to wear them.…
