The first is at her building. This is an important setting because that is where she finds out that she has lost her house.

Showing of an example of siblings who did not develop a more independent stance on life and how one can be pushed towards it. It’s been stated that ‘Brothers and sisters develop patterns of love and hate, care and abuse, and loyalty and betrayal. There are power struggles, sexual possibilities, interdependencies, role experiments, and divisions of emotional and instrumental labor. All of these will shape future adult functioning, perceptions, expectations, self-care, and self-worth. In other words, here is where many people directly learn some of the basics about who they are—or dare not to be—as individuals, partners, parents, and peers (Watanabe-Hammond, 1988).’ Again as stated before it seems like you shouldn't trust what Whelty is saying about her self and her family but reading the commentary by her family and their extreme reactions to little things, it is obvisoe that her point of
