The Watsons In The Willis Family

In the novel, The Watsons Go to Birmingham- 1963 Byron was not a good person in the beginning he did not do good stuff. For example, he was using matches 2 times. Although his parents said again not to use matches. Momma said what she always did if Byron uses matches again.

The public images of the elderly uncles are both positive and negative. There are negative terms used toward them like “geezer” and “grandpa”. Our society, at times, looks down on the elderly and this attitude is being feed through the negative attitudes being portrayed in the movie. However, the positives outweigh the negatives. The spirit, strength and adventure of the uncles certainly shines through. The uncles are very adventures and they show that no matter what your age you can still have fun and enjoy life. More importantly, the knowledge and life experiences of the elderly should be learned from and passed onto the next generation.

The common characteristics defined by Lamanna and Reidmann for family are ancestry, marriage and or adoption.  They give a list of three characteristics along with which people are usually related.. (1.) from an economic unit and care for any young.  (2.) consider their identity to be significantly attached to the group, and (3.) to commit to maintaining that group over time.  Yes, for many reasons I would definitely consider my family to fit these three categories of of the common characteristics.  My family is a support unit on which I can heavily rely on and we all have each others best interest at heart and will do anything to help one another.  I wish it was better defined and more in detail because I find the three characteristics to be very vague but I would add that family is also some kind of support group on which you are emotionally attached to and heavily rely on to make important choices.. well, in most cases.

Shouldn't you love your family and accept your family even if they are different. “Crawling backwards made him look like a doodlebug so I began to call him doodle... [and] nobody expects much from someone named doodle.”(Hurst 464) The whole Armstrong family had giving up on doodle, plus his brother felt like he was baggage he wanted to get rid of him. “I begin to make plans to kill him by smuggling him with a pillow,”(464) but instead of killing him he decided to help him learn to walk: “I can't walk brother, he said”(466)

The “Weird Watsons” familial relationship changes extraordinary after a family trip to Birmingham, Alabama. Out of the family of five, Byron and Kenny Watson’s relationship changes the most. They have a different mindset towards each other after a traumatic event happens.

The personality of Kenny is caring, I believe in this because when his sister needed comfort, he always helped her stop crying and always made her feel better and made her stop crying if she was crying. The title suits the Book because it has all of the text that go well and because it mentions in the book that the Watson Family is going to Birmingham. This book is not like the other books because I have read books that have an adventure or that the book is sad or calm. This book has more than that.it is exciting and interesting at thr same time. There is also a mini sad part.

I believe every natural of people have family that comes with a downfall, and always turn out to be functional by sticking to their values, culture, and beliefs. As for my family, I believe that culture and the nationality plays a big role in the household. I was raised by strict Haitian parents, that was always tough on me about education, responsibility, and independence. I believe my parents was only strict on me the most because I was the last out of four children's, which is I was the youngest. Alfred Adler did a family constellation and birthorder were Adlerians believes that the sibling closest in age and most different is the sibling that most affect how one defines the self (cite pg94). I related this to my life because I have sisters

Everyone's experiences with it are different, some are favourable, and some are fallacious. Everyone has it, but no one’s family is synonymous. Family is strong and sacrosanct, but strange. The understanding of family varies between people and their personal experiences. In the play Only Drunks and Children Tell The Truth(ODACTTT) by Drew Hayden Taylor, one sees family defined in several legitimate but different ways.

I wouldn't think their social life was to exciting. All the handicaps, Equality, and cluelessness. Most families deal with it, its’s probably not as deep though. I can deal with my family troubles. No matter weather a family is real or fictional they all have their differences, and how they get through that is how they

As a youthful child, I was prone to think that my family had to be the only one with obstacles, although, this changed dramatically after I watched the movie Parenthood. Because they are amazing at withholding his or her family problems, or at least they think they are, people put up a barrier to the outside world trying to show everyone how they are impeccable. The movie Parenthood really opens up our minds and proves to the frauds that faking perfection in life is not necessary. Besides, you cannot pick your family. They are your personal burden, and different personalities handle this responsibility individually.

To discover how family life has changed in the last few decades, I have decided to interview my Uncle; Michael Purta. He is 62 years old. My Uncle and I are very close to each other. We have always been close. Ever since I was a little girl he has always said, “mad as a hornet and mean as a snake.” He seems to think it’s funny to always make jokes.

Honestly, he's that kind of person that thinks two girls together is hot. With Gay guys through, he’s such a homophobe when it comes to that. If I were a boy and Gay, he wouldn't like it. One time, he told me this slur that he has for Gay guys, and I would tell you it, but let's just say it's not the most family friendly saying. The only reason that he found out about my homosexuality was when he saw a post on Facebook about it. He texted me, “How long have you been waiting to tell people you’re gay, Trin?” I thought to myself, “Oh, I've told a lot of people, I just didn't tell you since you're such a homophobic prick.” I didn't tell that to him though.

Nana and Papa say hey and give me the biggest hug ever. My Uncle shakes my hand and goes to bathroom, he has this problem where he has to go pee every 20 minutes or so, I can never remember the name of the problem, I have just learned to accept it. Last and surely least, John and Mason, the two worst cousins anyone could ever ask for. They can barely come through the door before saying “ What’s up Sixy!”. They always come up with some form of an insult to remind me that I have six toes on one foot.

A family can be defined in many ways, but the common denominator in all is the love and fulfillment one gets by being surrounded by family members. Families can sometimes be at odds with each other, but the strain of this type of relationship usually creates an upsetting feeling to the people involved. People want others to rely on, talk to, do things with, share, love, embrace, and be part of. No matter what the family dynamic is the qualities the word family has will remain the same, as time goes by, and life evolves once again for every person living their

Every family, no matter the size, has a different dynamic with each other. Each and every family interacts and gets along with one another in their own ways. Personally I have a very large family. I have four younger siblings, making me the oldest. Every since I was little I was always known and seen by my parents as the perfect child. I never acted out, I always had friends, got good grades, always followed their rules, and never got myself into big trouble. There usually seems to be one of these children in every family- the favorite child.
