Honor Thy Father

the staircase leading up to the storage facility. "she 's up there.", I whispered to my mom pointing. "There 's no way we can just run over there" she said. "I 'll distract them and you go." My mom threw our smoke bomb (Lee 's father had been well prepared) far away from the staircase. I dashed to the stairs and and ran up them two at a time hoping the robots would be too fascinated by the smoke to notice me. Reaching the top I again refrenced the ma. If Lee 's info was…

At least that’s what her father told her. Her memories that night were not clear. She remembers how her funeral went the day after. The whole town was there but none of them knew her mother very well since they moved to Smalltown only a month before the incident. Ever since her mother’s death she visited her grave frequently. She would place her favorite flower on her tomb and…

I felt that Rose had a bit opportunity when she met a family who were willing to have her as a child and even when her father opposed they tried. However, she had a father who did not care but had a say so in her life. I have learned that parent have all the right of opinion in our lives if he or she is not available because they were the one who gave birth to the person. I feel that is wrong…

raised and educated in Chile; it was not easy to give up an imminent career as soccer player when I was younger; one of the biggest teams selected me and everybody anticipated I would have an outstanding career in soccer… well, all except dad: my father had something else in mind for me and decided not to support the dream of my life. At the beginning it was hard to believe, unfair, selfish. Then we had a conversation and I learnt that he pursued a career in soccer when he was seventeen,…

great at comebacks just like her mother. She also is a character that is extremely easy to connect to due to the fact that she has an intense crush or that her mother has passed away. Also due to the fighting but still loving her father. The next main character is her father Jules Clover he is a major publisher in New York and because of this he missed a lot of Luna’s younger years. He still loved Luna and showed that very much throughout the book. Jules also tried to protect Luna from the truth…

First, one incident in my personal life that is an example of Sorrell’s quote involved someone else changing their normal routine to help me and my brother. In 2011, sometime during the colder months, my dad felt extremely sick all of a sudden He felt cold and started shivering, and coughs racked his ailing body. It clearly was not a regular cold and flu, so my mother first drove all of us to the hospital at around 4:00 in the afternoon. Then she drove my brother and I back home so she wouldn’t…

My mind went blank. I did not know what to do. It was as if my whole world was coming down on me at once, and I could not get help. My perfect little family, to everyone else, has been falling off a cliff and now has finally crashed to the ground. The true problems that were hidden to others for years were finally being broadcasted for everyone to see. Overcoming that obstacle was the hardest thing that I have ever had to do in my entire life. Since my parent’s separation, I have become a more…

Most kids are in a hurry to grow up, and don’t realize what growing up actually means To grow up. Most times kids lash out at their parents because they feel their parents are being too hard on them. Kids often do not realize what parents do to keep them safe and take care of them. When a child is raised in a split house where they share their time between mom and dad’s house tend to act out emotionally. Watching the movie Where the Wild Things Are, a similar dynamic in a little boy named Max…

different ways. In dealing with a supportive father it lacks in all families except in “Once More to the Lake.” Another thing the families do but differently is how the sibling unifies. Also, the teachers’ involvement in the families’ lives is different in each story. The way each family interacts with outsiders is very different. Each family is all similar but yet different in the same manner. In “Aria: Memoir of a Bilingual Childhood and A…

Alfred A. Montapert once said, ”Nobody ever did, or ever will, escape the consequences of his choices.” What he said completely relates to me, as I learned a very important, and gruesome, lesson. The incident caused me to change my perspective, which was huge in my childhood. I’ll never forget the time that I received stitches, because it made me realize that my parents know what’s best for me. It was an ordinary Wednesday afternoon. My sister and I had just gotten off of the school bus, plum…
