Since I live with my parents now, I have set the ideology of saving money as much as I can for my future family. It may sound pretty insane when I say that I don’t spend money because I want to buy a house where my future wife and I will live at when…

As a child growing up in a large family in upstate New York, adults were often heard saying to the children and each other, "God will find a way. Just have faith." Being of mixed heritage, my mother came from a Catholic family and my father 's family were Methodist. As infants we were baptised and attended area churches of both faiths.

This is something a lot people in the middle class will just never understand how some parents blame their children for their poverty. I’m not saying money will…

My family has a long history of divorce and instead of being a cynic; I wanted to delve into the complexity of divorce throughout history in Canada. My great-grandfather, Palmer Reese and great-grandmother, Clara Sterna fell in love in Winnipeg, Manitoba during the late 1920’s; they married and had three girls, Ruby, Laura and Shirley Reese. However, in 1935 Palmer left his wife and children to seek out work in Ontario working on the roads, and found a new French Canadian partner. Although, they…

The short story, “A Good Man is Hard to Find” begins with an average southern family planning out a vacation that they believe will be wonderful. “A Good Man is Hard to Find” starts off with a humorous tone since the reader does not know the outcome of the story.

born blind to the idea that money was the source of leading a happy life because he grew up poor, and closed off to the harsh social hierarchy of life. “where he lived … few men … power of life and death and barter and sale” (Faulkner 179). Sutpen’s family traveled a lot, as his father tried to search for work, and along the journey Sutpen’s eyes were opened to the value of money, and the role it plays in society. “That’s the way he got it.
