Proudly, Henry introduced each of the children, except one. Noticing the absence of his oldest son, he asked. “Where 's Uriah?” Charity then told him about the accident he had while chopping wood.
Uriah was awake when his father came in and sat down on the bed.
“Papa, I 'm sorry I messed up,” he said. “We found another ax in the shed out back, so we figured we could get more wood chopped if we both chopped-John 's ax slipped off a log and nearly took my foot off, we didn’t know it was that sharp. It was an accident Papa, please don 't blame John, he didn 't do it on purpose.”
“I know he didn 't son. It was an accident, plain and simple. It ain 't anybody’s fault really. You boys are young and didn 't know to separate yourselves far

It won 't be ours though, unless we file claim to it and I don‘t think that will happen. I don 't want to sink too much time into it, if you know what I mean.”
“Yes, Papa, I think I do understand. A man that has land and a family has something worth working for, right?”
“That 's right son; he sure does,” Henry smiled. “Now, let 's get in there and eat, before your mama gets mad at us for making her wait any longer.”
Charity had already set the table, using Mrs. Finley 's plates and utensils. She was sure that Mrs. Finley wouldn 't mind. She definitely seemed to be enjoying having a houseful of children around. Charity had observed her walking around the cabin, smiling at the goings on. It didn 't bother Charity, seeing Mrs. Finley 's spirit there. Neither did the spirit of the young woman that had followed Mr. McClure inside. Since meeting Two Feathers at Yellow River, she’s seen several ghosts, and was getting quite used to seeing them. They were just spirits, they meant no harm; they just weren’t ready to cross over…
“Ma 'am, this is a mighty fine table you 've set before us this day.”
“Well, thank you, Mr. McClure.”
“Please, Ma 'am, just call me Jeremiah. And, if’n you don 't mind, I 'd like ta be the one ta ask the blessing this evening.”
“No Sir, I don 't mind at all,” Charity replied, “We 'd be honored to have you ask- for we have truly been blessed this day.”
“Yes’um, we

He told her that in the middle of June they were sent to a place called Gettysburg where they were involved in a large campaign and took part in a battle that took place the first few days of July. He said that in all the campaigns and battles he’d been involved in, Gettysburg was by far the most intense- thousands lost their lives there… He also told her that he and John knew about their father’s death and that he was sorry she had to go through the loss without her entire family around her. He did not want her to worry about him and John; he said that they would make it through. Charity was glad that Charles sounded so positive. She often wondered why she could see some things and not others. Her ability to foresee events close to her had never been keen; however, it seemed that Charles had inherited that ability along with his ability to walk the winds… and, whatever other abilities he had… She would have to ask her grandfather, about this… Realizing just how little she knew of Charles’ abilities caused her a pang of guilt; it had been years since the two of them had had a real heart to heart

Tom’s lower lip trembled. “It’s my fault,” he whispered, his eyes shiny with tears. “I was so young, and I didn't know how to stop...”
Within this book, there is a Chinese-American boy named Henry who was sent by his father to an all white school. Henry’s father forces him to only speak English instead of Cantonese at their home. (Pg. 12,13) I understand why Henry’s father does that, however I do not agree with it. Henry’s father only allows him to speak English because he wants Henry to help out in the future with translating and wants Henry to be seen as American. In my mind, Henry should be able to speak his native language to his parents where they could listen and be able to actually understand what he is saying.
Chay begged his uncle to let him go to the hospital, but his uncle said “no”, and assured Chay that after school he would pick him up and take him to see his

A relationship that has shaped Henry's life is between him and his father. Both of them are stubborn in their beliefs; beliefs that always differ from the other. Although they're Chinese, Henry's father wants Henry to be like an American. For instance, Henry can only speak English to parents that won't ever understand him. Once the war starts, his dad forbids Henry to associate with any Japanese. It just adds the the list of things that they disagree with. Eventually their relationship cracks, "His father was stubborn, and traditional. He hadn't just threatened to disown him-- he'd gone through with it. All because Henry couldn't stop thinking about Keiko" (191). Henry gets fed up with his father and stands for what he believes. Loosing his

Shakespeare deals with a parent-child relationship in the historical plays of Henry IV Parts One and Two in the characters of Henry Bullingsworth (Henry IV) and his son Hal (Prince of Wales, later Henry V). The fact stands clear in the development of the son, Hal: the son's success in life is not dependent on his relationship to his father politically, but success is demonstrated when there is a realization of both parties on the level of parental love. Hal is not living up to his name, but also to blame in his father's failure to love. Our discussion is based solely on the text itself, based primarily on three main dialogues between Hal and his father.
The relationship between a father and his son is an important theme in Shakespeare's Henry IV, Part One, as it relates to the two main characters of the play, Prince Hal and Hotspur. These two characters, considered as youths and future rulers to the reader, are exposed to father-figures whose actions will influence their actions in later years. Both characters have two such father-figures; Henry IV and Falstaff for Prince Hal, and the Earl of Northumberland and the Earl of Worcester for Hotspur. Both father-figures for Hal and Hotspur have obvious good and bad connotations in their influence on the character. For example, Falstaff, in his drinking and reveling,
“I pray for a more friendly, more caring, and more understanding human family on this planet. To all who dislike suffering, who adore lasting happiness-this is my heartfelt appeal.”
