She says that all children were just supposed to act polite in public and nonpublic situations, and to always respect your elders. No matter how much older they were, you were always taught to respect anyone older than you, because they had lived longer and experienced more of life. I asked Judy “What is one thing you think has changed the most from your generation to mine?” Judy said, “Children used to have more of a loving family unit, and were always taught right and wrong by their parents.” Nowadays, there are split homes and kids who miles well not have any parents with the lack of effort they show with their children. Judy says she wishes things could be more like they used to be. Although, Judy also stated that she is very appreciative and thankful for all the advancements in technology

Lucy Honeychurch is a young woman who has been raised by an upper-class British family that has always made her decisions and opinions for her. Whether it’s Miss Lavish, Miss Bartlett, or her Baedeker, there’s almost always someone or something telling her what to do and what to think. Without being able to make decisions on her own, she hasn’t been able to figure out what she likes or admires or even wants. She is innocent, safe, and naïve of the world and of herself. Her first experience in the real world is when she visits Florence, Italy. She begins to find herself lost between the tedious falsities perpetuated by the pretentious upper class society and her growing instincts of what is true and beautiful. Her instincts are mainly channeled by playing the piano—her source of liberty and passion. Her music is where she gains empowerment to make decisions on her own. Another outlet for her newfound character is her albeit confusing, but growing lust for George, another member of the pension. Both her decisions and the decisions of others have led her to be alone in the Piazza Signoria where she starts to harbor a growing inner rebellion.
The selected passage from Jamaica Kincaid’s novel Lucy: A Novel emphasizes an explicit conflict between the narrator’s immediate and expected joy over being able to experience relative luxury for the first time against the implicit force of her inner schock and realization of her past situation as it ties into and shapes her identity and perspective of the world at large. The first paragraph details the specifics of her past situation through direct thoughts of the reader and her way of describing the luxury she’s in as presented through slightly clumsy, almost uncomfortable syntax, whether she “got into an elevator, some [she] had never done before,” (1-2) or when she was “eating food just taken from a refrigerator.” (3) She says that the experience in the apartment, compared to her home, “was such a good idea that [she] would grow used to it and like it very much.”

They always told me to respect others no matter who they were, if I knew them or not, it 's a sign of respect from me and to the other person.

They always told me and kept reminding me that actions speak louder than words, to always show something that I was made of and not something that I 'm not. Hearing other people out, it shows your interests or even if you 're not, but try to show it because it 's showing respect to that person. Being respectful is a big part of me, I can never forget that, because if I want to be respected, I respect other people, to treat them the same way as I want to be treated, even if I think that I 'm not going to receive it back, and if I don 't, it shows that I 'm the bigger person. I guess that showing gratitude was one of the first thing that my parents showed me when I was younger, I always remember when I would receive something they would whisper in my ear or tell me to say "thank you" same thing if I wanted something, to say "please". To respect myself and not let others take
