    At this point it is apparent war causes families to tear apart, but the authors also show that war can cause clashes between generations as well. One example of clashing is when Sam and Mr. Beach are at odds during the argument involving Sam and Father. In the beginning of the book the difference between Father and Sam is very evident. He is a boy of sixteen arguing with his father, but the argument of war isn’t just between families, it is also between generations. In chapter one, Mr. Beach, the town’s Anglican minister, also has his opinion on war that discriminates the new generation, “I think men of common sense will prevail. Nobody wants rebellion except fools and hotheads.” (Collier and Collier, 6). Sam goes on to argue with Mr. Beach, “That’s not what they say in New Haven, sir. They say that the whole colony of Massachusetts is ready to fight and if Massachusetts fights, Connecticut will

The Civil War caused a shift in the ways that many Americans thought about slavery and race. Chandra Manning’s What this Cruel War Was Over helps readers understand how soldiers viewed slavery during the Civil War. The book is a narrative, which follows the life of Union soldier who is from Massachusetts. Chandra Manning used letters, diaries and regimental newspapers to gain an understanding of soldiers’ views of slavery. The main character, Charles Brewster has never encountered slaves. However, he believes that Negroes are inferior. He does not meet slaves until he enters the war in the southern states of Maryland and Virginia. Charles Brewster views the slaves first as contraband. He believes the slaves are a burden and should be sent back to their owners because of the fugitive slave laws. Union soldiers focus shifted before the end of the war. They believed slavery was cruel and inhumane, expressing strong desire to liberate the slaves. As the war progresses, soldiers view slaves and slavery in a different light. This paper, by referring to the themes and characters presented in Chandra Manning’s What this Cruel War Was Over, analyzes how the issue of slavery and race shifted in the eyes of white Union soldiers’ during Civil War times.

People often think of family as positive, loving, and with no flaws. However, there is almost a stereotype that all families love each other and there aren’t problems or challenges in a family. Sometimes families put people through challenges and some families aren’t “perfect”. In the book Make Lemonade by Virginia Euwer Wolff, Jolly has two kids and goes through challenges with her family. Most careful readers can see how Jolly has these challenges with her kids and how she is far off from the “perfect” family. She goes through many of these challenges in life and finds a way to overcome them. Jollys family shapes her identity because the challenges she faces ends up making her stronger. Jeremy and Jilly challenging her, LaVaughn helping her out, and her past family all shape her identity.

The narrative allows for the idea of segregation to act as an aspect of the hardship faced by the characters. It distinguishes the differences between those who are separated, identifying their different lifestyles and values as factors, which has caused this disconnection. The segregation and major personality differences between the two families are highlighted in the quote, “Sometimes they squared off at one another like opposing platoons.” The metaphor of comparing the two sets of children to “platoon”, a word commonly used in war, parallels the separation caused by the war. This emphasizes a key aspect of the contextual features of the storyline, as the war has a major impact on the lives of the characters. This also exaggerates the level of separation between the two families, suggesting they have a war-like standing against each other, caused by different views and opinions. The notion of segregation between the families is an obvious cause of hardship, as the two families share so much, whilst being completely different.

Beyoncé highlights her feeling on the highly-published infidelity of her father and former manager, Matthew Knowles as well as sharing that her husband Shawn “Jay-Z” Carter was allegedly doing the same thing as her father.

LaVaughn is a 14 year old girl who babysits for college money because her mom does not have any.

As displayed in these stories, there is not always a mutual agreement within the family about several situations. Even I have faced conflict within my family, while I was growing up a time or two. Whether the issue involved something that you felt wasn’t fair or it was simply because you were told to do something in which you did not want to abide; the fact remains in every culture, family, life, or relationship, there will come a time where a conflict will arise.
