It is sad because I am going through a hard time with a children who don’t communicate with each other. I have to be the one who still try and keep them together and on the same page while I am going through the phase in my life. Then the story is kind of uplifting because I finally get my children to come to their senses and realize that this is real and all of them s ignoring each other is not going to work with this situation.Then tolds the end of the dance it starts back to get sad. It starts back to get side because when they started to come back together as a family,the timing was kind of late because they really didn’t have enough time to spend with me before I died. The ending was not only sad because of my death but because they felt that they were too late,and could have done more to make the situation better for everyone. That felt as if they didn’t spend their time on earth with me effectively. Going back to the middle of the dance the tone was kind of uplifting and sad also because at one point I had them all together and helping me out. Then they all just broke off again and I had to bring them back in

Part one was nice and compact; for example, the first sentence, "Native American families were using personal and family connections in order to control all of their economical transactions". In other words, you explained kinship in such a simple and understanding way. Also, I liked how you brought up how Post- industrialized era women have become independent.…

Chapters 8, 9, and 10 are about family, children, and relationships. What I enjoyed most about these chapters is being able to see how things changed and relate it back to my life.

Chapter 9 the chapter that I got the most from because it talked about different households and how children were raised.…
