Women, Men, and Food I grew up in a very traditional Mexican family with my culture interspersed throughout all the food I ate everyday. My mom had a part-time job and stayed home to cook and clean like her mother had done and her grandmother before her. That was the routine from the time I was born until I got to the fourth grade. During that point of my life, fresh homemade tortillas were ready on the table by the time I got home from school with some kind of delicious accompaniment. Anything…

1950’s family life has taken a turn for the worse. What was once the idealistic Jones’ type of family soon discovers that they’re advanced way of life isn 't all it’s cracked up to be. “The Veldt” by Ray Bradbury is a short story that plays off of the manipulative relationship between spoiled children and their parents, and the paranoia of technology being able to overpower (or in this story’s case kill) mankind in the hands of what should be an innocent child. I was genuinely interested in the…

Nevertheless, I still find myself wishing my parent’s were back together, I understand that it is selfish to wish this, but I can’t help but close my eyes and imagine this image of my…

about his father. His side of the family was basically limited and I wouldn 't had gotten far with information based off my own knowledge of them. I began to run out of information when it came to talk about other family members that I didn 't know about. An example is my mom 's other brother. I have no type of information about him because he chooses to stay away from the family and there is bad news about him so no one like hum…

fade. If I disagree with a topic he approaches me with, I will calmly discuss the reasons of why I did like it. A relationship should be he and I against the world. Setting rules helps a relationship last a lifetime. Although relationships in my family have not always been great. I have learned that most individuals learn from their mistakes. My grandparent’s relationship is one relationship I can reflect on, they helped each other through the struggling times, and loved each other…

about anything or committed to anything. I went through my experiences a year at a time. Whatever was happening then I went with the flow. I thought as long as I got good grades I was ok. 2. After high school, I followed in the footsteps of my family.…

Society is constantly changing and individuals have to constantly conform to the pressures that result from such change.
