Looking glass self

In the memoir The Glass Castle by Jeannette Walls, the Walls children had many obstacles in their young years of life but through it all they changed and adjusted to a life style that fit them well. “I lived in a world that at any moment could erupt into fire.

In the book the Glass Castle by Jeannette Walls, the author shows that people can be greatly damaged at a young age, and they will be too young and innocent to completely know what they had just experienced and they won't exactly know how to treat it or how to react. “I didn't really kiss him, or at least it didn't count.

When people don’t like the situation they’re in, their first instinct is to escape it. In The Glass Menagerie, by Tennessee Williams, Tom Wingfield narrates the memory of a time when he worked or ran off to the movies, and when Amanda, his mother, was on a desperate hunt for a gentleman caller for his sister, Laura. While Tom struggles with his insatiable need for a change in life, his mom clings to the chance of reliving her convivial past through her daughter. Amanda escapes the present…

There is a brain, an athlete, a basket case, a princess, and a criminal as perceived by the general population. Claire, the Princess, and Bender, the criminal, each go through…

Relationships, with one’s self and others can be a source of great satisfaction, inclusive learning, and often a place of profound depth as well as a deep, heart opening experience. I maintain that the connection with one’s self, taking into consideration the fact that we have been fully programmed by our family of origin, our society, religion and culture, is the first and primary relation that impacts all others. I maintain that if we are truly inner-connected, meaning we are aware of our…
