Interview With Ramirez Rosalinda

Ramiro and Rosalba Alvarez are my hardworking parents who came to the United States for me and my siblings to excel. My mother grew up an orphanage and still managed to succeed and years later become a teacher in Mexico. When she followed my father to the United States her degree was worthless. Both my parents work labor intensive jobs. Being a family of six with two children at Universities is probably the most finically broken we have ever been. To make everything worse my father was just diagnosis with prostate cancer a couple weeks ago. The doctor insist that my father goes into surgery now, but because of work he is in denial. My father works outside so he wants to wait until winter comes when he is not working to get his surgery. This

There is a constant cycle of talking-at and not talking-to. The lack of knowing how to communicate effectively is a hindrance on the mother-daughter dynamic as well as their ability to This cycle of learned behavior, many have impacted how Mary's lack of ability to communicate in a positive and healthy manner is a pattern within the family. The is filled with anger, Mary always appears to be upset and angry faith Precious or the government and life in general. This frustration that she faces she tends to handle them with violence. Education is not encouraged and is seen as useless. Relying on the government is a norm within

Mary Ann is a complex character. She has dealt with and overcome many obstacles in her life from losing her mother, moving around constantly, incestual sexual abuse, watching her big brother die while saving her, and growing up to be the woman she never wanted to become. She will forever be a farmer’s daughter who takes care of others before she cares for herself, and will always remember the childhood memories she has with Guy and

Another impact she bought in literature is that it does not matter how old are you or how young you are you can always follow your dreams. Mary didn’t let the death of her husband ruin her passion of writing and publishing books. She kept on

Mary was much different than most girls of the age. Her mother, a vocal advocate for the advancement of women’s rights, was much of her inspiration. So, Mary was often viewed as rebellious, which apparently she inherited. Also like her mother, Mary was a compulsive writer. She constantly wrote in her journal, through this she demonstrated her crazy perseverance that her father was very proud of. Because of her father and Mary’s incredible intellect, Mary was often in communication with the greatest intellectual

When Mary was eleven she lived with her great aunt and uncle near her grandmother’s home in Minneapo0lis. They were treated with negligence, punished and even starved at times. She was treated unjustly and was beaten when she excelled at school so the success wouldn’t go to her head.

Mary is a really plain child. She is usually grumpy and angry. Her parents abandoned her and almost never got to see them. She played by herself in the sand and nobody liked her. She did not like anyone either thinking if they do not like me why should I. Her parents died however she did not cry or miss them at all. She had never know anything about relationship since no one lived her. She was sent to a place to stay until someone can take care of her. She played alone and did not really let anyone talk to her. The people in that place made a song called Mary quite Contrary, she

Moving had defined Mary her entire life. From her early childhood in the Philippines, spent on a Navy base chasing after her brothers John and Peter to her teenage years in Westfield, New Jersey, moving always brought about a change. So it was no surprise that her move to Pennsylvania to attend Chestnut Hill College when she was eighteen would be part of the force that brought her to her future husband. That, and Jerome had just broken up with her. After dating - of course only in the proper, Catholic manner - for almost a year, he had told her that they were both “destined for other people”. Ha. As if. She sat at her desk, pushing off the work for her classes by reading a childhood favorite, Peter Rabbit. Tap Tap. Mary looked up to see her

(P7) In addition to putting herself through rigorous work that causes physical pain, the mother’s more obvious pain throughout this narrative is emotional. Readers are given many opportunities to sympathize with the mother as she “begins spending all her time inside” (Sloss 20) and “stops going into town” (Sloss 20) because she is struck by loneliness. The narrator describes the mother’s view on Thomas leaving her for expeditions as “abandonment” (Sloss 22). The mothers upset state, a result from feeling abandoned, is portrayed by her intense focus on the completion of menial tasks such as figuring out “how many pairs of socks” (Sloss 23) Thomas would need on his journey. By showing the reader her focus on such small things, Mary is portrayed as struggling to

I noticed that this book points out a lot about independance. Mary had servants cater to her every demand until she was 10 years old, and after that, she was so used to it that she couldn’t even dress herself. Only through doing things for herself was Mary able to learn, not the other way around.

When Mary was fourteen, she was sent to Scotland to stay with Mr. William Baxter. Mary was glad to get away from her step-mother in London. This time was the beginning of Mary 's life as a writer. Mary recollected, " . . . as the daughter of two persons of distinguished literary celebrity, I should very early in life have thought of writing. . . my favourite pastime . . . was to 'write stories '."5 Mary was educated by tutors at home, in the writings of her parents and in foreign language.6

Selena Gomez has been an important and interesting person to me for a quite a while, someone I looked up to when I was younger. I first discovered her by watching on Disney channel and then I started listening to her songs because she was very famous, and because I had a passion for music and singing. Selena was a typical teen pop star, singing about boys and best friends, but as I continued to listened to her I noticed she was a little different. As she became an older teen she started making more mature, inspiring songs that I felt like I really connected to and I realized we are similar in some other ways too. I relate to Selena Gomez because we both have avoided conforming to social standards, have stayed kind and true to ourselves, and

Firstly, I would like to look a Marys childhood it mentions in the case study that Mary has never wanted for anything. What does this mean? Does it mean material things, wealth, position, it mentions that she was considered to be privileged. Did Mary receive the emotional love and understanding from her family. There is no mention of a father in Marys family background. Mary also had very little understanding of life’s experiences. For me reading this case study my assumption is that Mary had a very sheltered life. She came a middle class family and seemed to have a social standing in life. There is also a mention of her social life but no close friends for Mary to confide in. Marys husband came from a working class background this I believe

Maryjane was feeling like an outside during her puberty period when she was comparing her age and her body from the age of fifteen and sixteen. she was trying to imitate and her friends who smoke cigarette. She was pretending that she has smoke cigarette before. Maryjane say “the harder I tried to assimilate, the more I had the feeling that I was distancing myself from my culture, betraying my parent s and my origin, that I was playing a game by somebody else’s rule”. I would say that she was compete felling like an outsider, because her character was complete changed., she started to lie to their parent smoking cigarette, I mean Maryjane was an extraordinary person now. Maryjane does not want to talk to their parents anyone because she always

Mary believes that to find hope, people have to take risks. Mary is Junior’s older sister. She
