Essay on Importance of Grandparents

from Grandma Dee and Big Dee and plans to continue on with it as she says “’I can ‘member Grandma Dee without the quilts’” (par. 74) showing that she will always remember the times they had together. Mama is also seen as a character of symbolic importance because of her ways of seeing situations throughout the story. She talks about a dream she had, going on a game show and re-uniting with her daughter when she herself weighs one hundred pounds lighter. Farrell reminds us, “It is important…

She could take a fresh catfish and make a gourmet meal from it. Home made apples pies with a crust that would curl your toes. A three-layered white frosted coconut cake the would melt in your mouth but above all her incredible homemade biscuits with lard all done up in her wood cooking stove. She used that to cook everything in. Even though she had an electric one she would tell us she hated it. She never even had a telephone until she was 60 years old and we only got to watch one program on…

To be a woman is not easy considering the hardship and abuse that a great number of women endure during their lifetime. In this story I will share what some of these hardships was about. The once ruling patriarchal system for the last two millennia has been declining to give room for a new era, where women have more ‘freedom.’ And, as a teenager I was totally confused about what that meant. In the old system there were so many points of views that did not serve our humanity, which created…

In my life I have had many experiences with The Elderly. My Grandmother who is in her 70’s has taught me a lot about life. She has a lot of good advice that she likes to share with me, such as never stopping on the train tracks with your car and to never use your Iphone before you go to bed or it will take you longer to fall asleep because of the light. My Grandma has always been a big inspiration in my life she not only offers me very positive and useful life advice but, she was always positive…

I was born on February 20th, 1998 in Greenville, South Carolina. My parents were new to parenting because they were twenty years old when I was born. Once I turned six weeks old, my parents went back to work so my great grandmother took care of me. I learned a lot from being at my great grandmother’s house because there were always older people around me. “You and your Papa Pete used to sit on the front porch and watch the cars go by. That’s how you learned your colors. He used to hold you and…

It seems odd but ever since I remember, my grandparents bought sodas, which were half the size of normal canned ones. Just seeing the can sizes haven’t changed, brought me back to my childhood. I pressed my lips to one of the cans and sipped slowly, embracing the moment of reconciliation. After I finished…

I felt that way that did not mean I was going to be treated like an adult. Now that I am 18 the legal age to be considered an adult. I can honestly say that a lot changed but at the same time nothing has really changed because my parents and grandparents still treat me like I am 8 years old in some ways. For example when I get ready for school in the morning my grandma thinks she has to constantly check on me while I am getting ready. Also she thinks she is some sort of alarm clock, she kinda…

my religious heritage, religious traditions that we celebrate, how I practice and understand religion today, and how I understand my life. Both of my parents are Lutheran just like their parents before them. On my mom’s side, her grandparents, so my great-grandparents, still go to this old country church in the middle of nowhere. Right next to the church there sits a cemetery. Having the cemetery right next to the church would make it easy to see loved ones that have passed away after going to…

Surname and Migration Experience My surname is Hernandez, which is a "distinguished Spanish surname…a proud sign of rich and ancient heritage”(2). While conducting research I also found out that my “name is derived from the Spanish elements ‘ 'faro" meaning “journey” and “nano”, meaning “brave”(2). Interesting enough the name Hernandez was first “found in Castile, where the name originated in Visigothic times” and “its cognates is due to King Ferdinand III of Castile and Leon (1198-1252)”…
