    As a potential counselor, working with a family will be one of my biggest challenges in my premature career. Treating a family entails many factors such as learning their family system(s), culture/ethnic background, communication patterns and identifying any emotional themes among other important elements. Within this process, it is vital to hear all the voices of each family member to find out the concerns, issues or problems each one bring to the family dynamic. However, applying these elements in a family therapy session may look different for every family that seeks treatment. However, it is important to bear in mind that a family therapy session may be the only place, where each family member can have a voice and speak freely.…

Her usage of language helps us get a broader view of what the characters are like and how these characters form a family, we also get a perspective of the business that this family is working in and how they are in a way discriminated by looks, a farmer differing from a buyer. And how the tobacco business is hard from the perspective of the farmers. The three major things that I have noticed while reading this prose was that there is a great amount of imagery, the characters…
