    Luz's entire story I thought was significant. She is a lonely person who not willing to change her ways. She has a son and brother and wants nothing to do with either one of them. “Patterns are repeated behavioral or affective sequences” (Murphy p. 116). Luz’s has a disconnect from everyone in her life from her family, staff members and other clients at the retirement center. I don’t agree with Luz not speaking to her son because of whom he married, her son should be able to marry whomever he wants. You should not judge a person based on the color of their skin. Luz was racist which was the root of most of the problem. I would hope that Luz will change her mind and mend the relationship with her family. To find closer and happiness which everyone deserves.
