Analysis Of Ashley Rhodes-Courter's Three More Words

Three More Words is about the author Ashley Rhodes-Courter. At the beginning of the

story she is giving a speech about her story in front of thousands of eyes. She says

even if they read her memoir, Three Little Words they want to hear her repeat some of

her stories and ask her questions, as said in the first paragraph on page 2. When she

was adapted at age thirteen she didn't trust her parents Gay or Phil. This was just

because of everything that happened in her past. Like getting taken away from her

mother at age three or from the time she was abused in one of the foster homes. She

tried to tell someone about it, but all the other children that lived in that home were to

scared to tell the truth, so they moved Ashley to another

home because they thought

she was a liar, because all of this trouble she tested her parents to see if they would get

rid of her. It talked about her testing her parents and everything on page 4.

Ashley as a teenager has enter many different contests were she had to write

essays.

She has one almost very contest she did except for one when she was in her

twenties. Also when she was about thirteen she got her first scholarship for college.

When she was old enough to go to college her real mother texted her saying first

Rhodes to go to college, on page 9.

Ashley first meet her husband at a club. His name is Erick. At the time Ashley

and him were friends that say each other all the time then it turned into a relationship,

but by the time she went to college she told him it would be best if they saw other

people. He asked if he could still call her and she said sure. Later down the road they

finally got married on a cruse ship. They invited Ashley's mom Lorraine and half sister

Autumn. Everyone that was there tried to help hid what ashley's mom has been up to.

This was to protect her and Erick from all her nonsense.

Erick and her decided to become foster parents, there first child they had was a

little girl but she left just a week or so after coming. The second child they got they were

very attached. His name was Albert, he was taken away from his parents that lived in

a

crack house. The main reason they were so sad when Albert left was that he went back

to his dad's custody and they knew he hasn't changed.

Later Ashley became a mother to her biological son Ethan. Later she got to adopt

her son Skylar.

He was one of their foster babies that they had. Erick and Ashley started

a Foundation for Sustainable Families. This foundation helps with families that need

help with family therapy, parenting, and breastfeeding classes, early childhood

education and nutrition for both foster and adopted resources. Also they would have

their on organic garden found on page 290, also on that page is a website for their

foundation at substainablefamiliesfoundation.org.

Honestly I had like a love hate relationship when reading this book. It's a great

book, but some of the things I read in this book really makes you dislike some people in

this world. One think was that a parent feed her child cigarettes and drank beer, page

123 at the top. Some people care more about theirselves instead of their child. The

things that I liked in this book was when Ashley got adopted. I also liked when Ashley

and her husband started a sustainable families foundation at the end of the story on

page 290. It makes you think differently about people in this world. Yes, there is a lot of

good people in this world, but there is a lot of people who don't know how to take care of

a human being.

Yes I would recommend this book to others. The reason is it makes you

think

about what some children go through because their parents don't know how to either

treat them or can't take care of someone. Also those people that went through the same

thing as Ashley it could help them know they don't have to do the same things their

parents did when they grow up, they can make a difference.
