The English Patient and Katherine’s relationship exerts betrayal, mainly aimed towards Madox. The English Patient shows betrayal to Madox also in the sense that he supplied maps to the Germans to help Katherine. In order to help get back to her, the only way he could do this was to hand over the maps. A quote in relation to this betrayal is illustrated with “What you find in him are cul-de-sacs within the sweep of history-how people betray each other for the sake of nations, how people fall in love.” 7. Fire and water definitely play a big role in the novel in regards to the relationships of the characters. Water is a rejuvenating and healing element and fire represents destruction as well as betrayal. The quote “The candle flickers over the page and over the young nurse’s talking face, barely revealing at this hour the trees and vista that decorate the walls. He listens to her, swallowing her words like water. “The quote represents the fire and water in the scene, as the candle fire can be seen as something that relates to Almasy’s burns and the water on the other hand relates to Hana’s nurturing of his…

not picture hundreds of small children living alongside convicted felons and notorious criminals charged with theft, murder, contraband, and much more. In the impoverished country of Bolivia, this act provides a good solution for underprivileged families of such convicts, which in some cases might be the only solution. What may seem like an outrageously dangerous and unbelievably shocking operation to us as Americans, is an entirely normal, and even supported, cause in countries across the…

Jordan (2011) applies relational-cultural theory to mother-daughter relationships, which argues that the mother-child relationship continually changes due to social context and time. Therapy can help children rework empathic failures and acute disconnections to question the absolute certainty of poor mothering (Jordan, 2011). I found several arguments in this chapter particularly applicable to my life: immigrant mothers tend to lose the support of a larger family network, and the lack of a…

To understand the superiority of joint family systems, one must first develop an understanding of what the family systems actually are. Joint families were more common in…

the over-protectiveness that I display. Very rarely do I allow my children to spend the night at other people’s houses including relatives. I also do not allow them to go very many places without adult supervision out of fear that they will not be safe. This is not an issue of their behavior or choices it is an issue of not trusting others in society. Demetrius fills the problematic role of being the controller of the family.

She assigns a lot of meaning to being active to stay mentally acute and in shape, not just for herself but also for her family. On top of these three themes of family, activity, and hard work are the…
