Have you ever wondered if you’re similar to someone else? If so, you're not alone.You might be surprised to learn that two seemingly different people can have similarities. In the story “ Avery’s Gift” and the article “ Chicken of the Sea is So Wacky-of Course it was Created by Kids’’, Avery’s father is similar to Elison’s father because both parents helped their kids with what they were creating/making and they have knowledge/experience on what their kids were making. To begin, both Avery’s father and Elison’s father helped them with what they were making. In paragraph 9 of the story, “Avery’s Gift” it states, “ Note by note, chord by chord, Avery played her piece repeatedly while he wrote out the notes, and when they finished several hours later, Avery was flushed with …show more content…
Both parents did their part to help their kids. Moreover, both parents have enough knowledge on the things their kids are creating. In paragraph 8 of the story, “Avery’s Gift” it states, “Avery didn’t actually write music, but her father was a professional composer, creating masterpieces for both film and theater.” Getting professional help makes it easier for individuals to compose music. In paragraph 3 of the article, “Chicken of the Sea is So Wacky-of Course it was Created by Kids,” it states, “ Ellison’s dad, Viet Nguyen (who is also very good at writing books), helped him with the story, and got in touch with Thi Bui to see if she might like to illustrate it.” Nothing can compare to a father's efforts in helping his kid. Without the basic knowledge both fathers had on the matter, they would find it difficult to help their kids. In conclusion, both fathers are very helpful and have specific knowledge to support their children in making their
Take note of how the father approached the mistakes made by his son. "I fouled up some screens once, You broke them out with a chair" I feel showed the negative feeling I got when I read the poem. That also makes me believe that it was an apprenticeship. To me parents even if they get upset at something you do, don't go about things in that matter. The son was trying to learn something from his father and rather than explaining and showing the son how to do it correctly or the mistakes he made the father destroys the work. ...

Two people could be living two very different lifestyles, yet they could be very similar in the way they act and react in the same situation. Charlotte from “The Metaphor” by Budge Wilson and the Mother character from “Borders” by Thomas King live very different lives but the way they deal with the problems they are faced with is very similar. Both protagonists have to deal with trying to be forced to be something they are not by society and their families, but Charlotte from “The Metaphor” has been challenged by her strenuous home, she must face her organized mother and orderly home; the Mother from “Borders” must stand up for what she believes in and fight for what she wants.
The mother and daughter have a very distant relationship because her mother is ill and not capable to be there, the mother wishes she could be but is physically unable. “I only remember my mother walking one time. She walked me to kindergarten." (Fein). The daughter’s point of view of her mother changes by having a child herself. In the short story the son has a mother that is willing to be helpful and there for him, but he does not take the time to care and listen to his mother, and the mother begins to get fed up with how Alfred behaves. "Be quiet don't speak to me, you've disgraced me again and again."(Callaghan). Another difference is the maturity level the son is a teenager that left school and is a trouble maker. The daughter is an adult who is reflecting back on her childhood by the feeling of being cheated in life, but sees in the end her mother was the one who was truly being cheated. “I may never understand why some of us are cheated in life. I only know, from this perspective, that I am not the one who was.” (Fein). The differences in the essay and short story show how the children do not realize how much their mothers care and love
Learning to lead our children in an environment where they grow up every day is a better decision. One of the most difficult things for parents is to give independence to their own children because we do not understand their need for that. In contrast, teenagers have to lean their hand that overprotection is one dad decision for example puttie caballero, even though knight’s twin daughter, symphony and kymberlee age 19 and attending college, knight remain deeply involved in their day to day lives. She goes shopping with them. She gives them advice about their relationships.”

The author clearly shows how his childhood effected his adulthood, making in a living example of what he is writing about allowing the audience to more easily trust what he is writing about. Instead of using factually evidence from other dysfunctional family incidences, the author decides to make it more personal, by using his own life and comparing family ideas of the past to the present.
...parents were much more successful in the working world encouraged him to complete many daily activities such as choir and piano lessons. His parents engaged him in conversations that promoted reasoning and negotiation and they showed interest in his daily life. Harold’s mother joked around with the children, simply asking them questions about television, but never engaged them in conversations that drew them out. She wasn’t aware of Harold’s education habits and was oblivious to his dropping grades because of his missing assignments. Instead of telling one of the children to seek help for a bullying problem she told them to simply beat up the child that was bothering them until they stopped. Alex’s parents on the other hand were very involved in his schooling and in turn he scored very well in his classes. Like Lareau suspected, growing up
The role of a father could be a difficult task when raising a son. The ideal relationship between father and son perhaps may be; the father sets the rules and the son obeys them respectfully. However it is quite difficult to balance a healthy relationship between father and son, because of what a father expects from his son. For instance in the narratives, “Death of a Salesman,” and “Fences” both Willy and Troy are fathers who have a difficult time in earning respect from their sons, and being a role model for them. Between, “Death of a Salesman,” and “Fences,” both protagonists, Willy and Troy both depict the role of a father in distinctive ways; however, in their struggle, Willy is the more sympathetic of the two.
Synthesis Essay Control is a common theme in literature used in order to teach about the complicated relationships between parent and child, These themes are seen in “The Glass Menagerie” by Tennessee Williams and “The Fish” by Lila Zeiger. In both cases, the authors use parental authority over their kids to show the effects on the identity of the developing mind. In both the poem and the play, the author uses conflicts between family to illustrate the effects of harsh parental control on the identity of kids.

Tom, the victim of an over-controlling parent, gets frustrated about the current condition of his life as he was so unexpectedly thrown into the role of “father figure” by his mother, once his own father left.

Within this family structure the children learn the different power relationships between their parents, such that mom may become known as the disciplinary actor, whereas dad may become another playmate.
For years I have been fascinated by that mysterious quirk of nature called twins. In my family, there are several sets of identical twins, and I have always concentrated on their similarities. I did not realize that identical twins also have many differences. My identical twin cousins, Sue and Heidi, appear to be perfect mirror images. They love to dress alike. They can feel each other's pain. They sound alike and can complete each other's sentences. But upon taking a closer look, I have found that they are as different as day and night. Aside from Sue and Heidi's outward characteristics, they possess several distinguishing traits that allow them to be viewed as two separate, independent individuals.
