She has many horrific stories of World War II that affected her life forever and her parents were a big impact as well, which really surprised me. Her parents had one goal for her and it was for her to become a teacher. Luckily she liked it and became the teacher she wanted to be now. Not many struggles were given to my grandmother other than tragic events as she was raised by two wealthy parents who truly cared about her. Silvana Giono is my inspiration and as she taught me, I will never give up on anything. Being able to interview her, I have learned that I need to become a better person and work harder for what I really want. This has a big impact on me because I will try even harder for things I really want and will always try my best from now on. I am very glad I was assigned this project, as I feel that I have turned into a better

These trips back and forth dominated Marie’s childhood with her uncles and aunts being her childhood playmates.
Throughout the story there are several aspects of the Protagonist’s character that play a major role in the shaping of her future. During her childhood she often demonstrates a sense of fear when she is sent to her bedroom. “We were afraid of the inside, the room were we slept (pg. 549).” She is intimidated by her personal space because she does not have control over it. Later, she gains control by adding lace to her side of the room; symbolically adding personality to herself and slipping into womanhood. When she felt uncomfortable she exercised her imagination, to psychologically regain control over the confusion in her life. Her subconscious effort to control confusing times were carried on to her later years as she was constantly put in difficult situations, which helped her to adjust quickly to change during adulthood. The dreams she created changed when she began to place emphasis on her appearance-that which she could control, other than past dreams of heroism that seemed so distant from reality. The Protagonist filled her childhood with much pride and maintained a consistent focused upon the activities that filled her childhood. She relished working at the side of her father, taking immense pride in every aspect of her assigned duties. She proclaimed, “I worked willingly under his eyes, and with a feeling of pride (pg. 551)” Once after her father introduced her to a feed sales man as “my new hired man (pg. 551),” the Protagonist was flooded with pride as she “turned away and raked furiously, red in the face with pleasure (pg. 551).” In her later years her pride helped her to assemble strong self-confidence she used in her years of growing. Passion and depth were characteristics that impacted her future as a woman. Her passion and depth was revealed early on in the story ...
My life intersects with Into The Wild because I never had a good relationship with my mom or stepfather Dan who was 21 years older than my mother. So I “escaped” to Columbia much like Chris did from his own reality. Dan would drink every day; you would rarely see him without a drink in his hand. His drink of choice would be either whiskey or beer depending on what he could afford. You could always tell when he was smashed and when he was I was the person he wanted to tear down with his words the most. I remember one night after my grandma just had surgery and she was staying with us my mom asked me to cook. I told her I would. I then went outside to check what I was grilling and I knew Dan was out there intoxicated.
According to Linda, education was an important matter in her home growing up. Her parents wanted their children not only to achieve an education but to master it. Linda’s said the she recalled her mother reading to her and her siblings every night when they went to bed when she was younger, and she mentioned that both of her parents would help with any homework questions that they had. In her adolescent years, Linda said, “my life was boring and uneventful compared to what kids do these days.” Throughout all of her childhood, Linda mentioned not being able to remember doing anything but going to school, doing homework, and coming home to work on the farm. She said that there was no time for sports or social events, that things needed to be done around the home. However, Linda mentioned that “on Sundays, after church, we went to grandmas to eat and we would get to go swimming in the creek behind her house”. Linda also mentioned that she sometimes stayed with her grandmother, and one of the activities they did together were some hobbies like knitting, Crocheting, and sewing. In the summers in their free time in the evenings the Doll family would sit in the yard and watch the sunset and look at the stars as a
As the youngest of five children she was often overlooked. The pride of the family often overrode the opportunity to receive health care, handouts and a decent chance to become something. My mother spent her childhood in a tiny house with her family and many relatives. She was never given the opportunities to excel in learning and life like my generation has. My grandfather was a carpenter and on that living fed many hungry mouths. But despite this already unfortunate lifestyle my mother maintained good grades and was on a path to overcoming her misfortune.

Liz Murray made many different choices in her life. Some of these risks had positive effects on her life and others did not. One choice she made was to not go to school as a child. This could have caused her to be without a job and a way to support herself, like her mom, or a waste intelligence, like her dad. This had a positive effect on her life because she read and was able to teach herself. If she hadn`t taught herself, she may not have gotten into Harvard, or gone back to school at all. Also, she decided not to go with her mom and sister to her grandfather`s house and stayed at home with her father. Instead of living with him until she was an adult, she got taken away from her father and sent to an orphanage. While there, she was
