"Some of us think holding on makes us strong; but sometimes it is letting go,"-Hermann Hesse. Regrettably, in this point of view, Jenna Fox's father, Matthew Fox, was incapable of staying strong. In the novel, The Adoration of Jenna Fox by Mary E. Pearson, seventeen-year-old Jenna Fox has woken up from a coma caused by a gruesome car accident, an accident in which she was told to have caused. Later, Jenna begins to pick up and put together the puzzle pieces of her own life, including how the way she is being kept alive is illegal. Putting these puzzle pieces together allowed her to realize why she was different and the truth about the accident. Jenna's parents, Matthew and Claire Fox decided to take advantage of Matthew's expertise and replace …show more content…
Matthew Fox, a supporting character in The Adoration of Jenna Fox makes an impacting decision through his motivation of needing to save his daughter's life. To demonstrate, in the book The Adoration of Jenna Fox, when Jenna was questioning her parent's actions Claire states, "'We did what any parent would do. We saved you,'"(Pearson 128). In other words, Claire and Matthew used their strong parental instincts to save the life of their only child, Jenna. This describes his motivation that leads Matthew to do what he did in saving his precious daughter -- the incentive to save someone whom he cares greatly about. Additionally, Mary E. Pearson wrote, "I always tried so hard to be everything they wanted. Everything three babies could be. Their miracle child. Me," (Pearson 132). Here, the author is saying that Jenna was the quintessential child who always strove to do her best and made herself everything her parents wanted her to be -- their very own miracle. As a result, when Jenna's life was about to be compromised by the horrific car accident, Matthew broke the law because he didn't want to let go of his miracle child. In essence, Matthew's extraordinary choice was all done through his incitation to save his beloved …show more content…
Specifically, Matthew and Claire explain, "'There are a lot of people who have laid their lives and careers on the line for you, Jenna. We had to be careful. If you slipped and told someone, you would not only jeopardize your future but theirs as well,'" (Pearson 138). To put it differently, Matthew could not have saved Jenna on his own and he needed others to help him. As a result, everyone who helped Matthew accomplish this illegal task is accessory to a crime. Another illustration of how important Matthew's compromise is shown when Jenna states, "'My hands are artificial,' I tell him. 'My legs, are too,'" (Pearson 121). This shows how most of Jenna's body is unnatural, and in fact, only ten percent of her body is. Therefore because of Matthew's choice, Jenna will spend the rest of her life feeling like she has incommensurable qualities. Not only that but Jenna will also worry about how others will think of her and live with their judgment for as long as she lives. Ultimately, life is about choice's and Jenna's life and the lives around her will forever be affected by Matthew's significant
Born in 1959, author Debra Oswald began writing as a teenager. She rose to prominence with the debut of Gary’s House where it was shortlisted for the NSW Premier’s Award. Many of her works features abandoned and neglected children that grow into adults to fight their own demons in the past. Oswald writes about the importance of a family’s psychology, both real and surrogate. In Gary’s House, Gary had a bad relationship with his father that lead to neglection and eventually hate but when Gary himself becomes a father he disregards his past to provide for his future child. This is the author’s intention of representing how important family is.
In the article “ From Fly to Bitches and Hoes” by Joan Morgan, she often speaks about the positive and negative ideas associated with hip-hop music. Black men display their manhood with full on violence, crime, hidden guilt, and secret escapes through drugs and alcohol. Joan Morgan’s article views the root causes of the advantage of misogyny in rap music lyrics. In the beginning of the incitement her desires shift to focus on from rap culture condemnation to a deeper analysis of the root causes. She shows the hidden causes of unpleasant sexism in rap music and argues that we need to look deeper into understanding misogyny. I agree with Joan Morgan with the stance that black men show their emotions in a different way that is seen a different perspective.
In youth and throughout life, children look to their parents for answers. Providing advice, tough love, and unconditional support is part of the job description for many parents. In The Other Wes Moore, the audience witnesses first-hand accounts of having a mother that takes on both “mother” and “father” roles. Wes’s mother is strong, courageous, and compassionate, while the Other Wes Moore’s mother is just as compassionate, but naive and in denial of her child’s faults. Wes’s mother, for instance, held high expectations for her son in school, considering the sacrifices she made to send him to the school she wished she could attend in her youth. When hearing of Wes’s grades she says, “Well your grades aren’t bad because you can’t pick this stuff up or because you are stupid, you are just not working hard enough” (76). From there, she proceeds to send Wes to military school, which
The influence family members can have on the development of a child is enormous; they can either mold a healthy mind or drive a child toward darkness. Jennifer Egan’s Safari is a short story that highlights the different relationships in a family with a complicated background. Rolph and Charlie come from a divorced household and join their father, Lou, and his new girlfriend, Mindy, on an African safari. As the events of the trip unfold, Lou’s children experience a coming of age in which they lose the innocence they once possessed. The significant impact of family dynamic on children’s transition into adulthood is presented in Safari. Jennifer Egan uses Mindy’s structural classifications of Charlie and Rolph to demonstrate how Lou and Mindy’s relationship hinders the maturation of the two kids.
Laura Deeb’s An Enchanted Modern: Gender and Public Piety in Shi’i Lebanon seeks to rectify post-9/11 notions of political Islam as anti-modern and incongruous with Western formulations of secular modernity. Specifically, Deeb is writing in opposition to a Weberian characterization of modern secular Western societies as the development of bureaucracies through social rationalization and disenchantment. Within this Weberian framework Deeb asserts that Shia communities are in-part modern because of the development of beuorocratic institutions to govern and regulate religious practice. However, Deeb makes a stronger argument oriented towards dislodging the assumptions "that Islamism is static and monolithic, and that
Is the world one see around them really how it is or are they being deceived?
The youth are acknowledged for having innocence, and witnessing certain events can take it away. In Sarah’s Key by Tatiana De Rosnay experiences cause innocence to be lost. Losing freedom affects an individual personality, making the person more mature. Losing hope causes an individual to change their views on life. A person’s family dying causes a lifetime of pain. When experiencing a horrible event, one should not let it change them.
Mature Love In Laura Kipnis Against Love, what I believe love to be is uniquely questioned and probed in every manner. Kipnis yanks at every part of a relationship that is, according to her, inevitably bound to fail. Unfortunately I believe she mostly writes about the negatives of marriage and infidelity rather than love. It is troubling to agree with her uncomfortable views on marriage and coupledom becoming a sort of renunciation of personal desires, but I think Kipnis is brave in creating this polemic suggesting the way love has been programmed into us by modern society, as an all encompassing, fantasy type of love, all about one person forever.
The story of Pegasus begins when Perseus, Hermes and Athena were sent to kill Medusa. They had a special sword that wouldn’t shatter or chip once used to strike the Gorgon’s scales and a shield that could also serve as a mirror. Perseus used the shield to look behind him and he slowly but surely got behind Medusa then beheaded her. Perseus had also used an invisible helmet to escape the sisters of Medusa so they couldn’t counterattack and get revenge ("Legend of Pegasus"). The leftover blood that oozed from the bodiless head and fell into the ocean, to make foam, created Pegasus ("Constellation of Pegasus").
The rumors have been flying for a while that Jill Duggar Dillard could be pregnant once again. They have one son and he is already over a year old. It would not be shocking if the two were having another baby, but they haven't admitted to anything. Now a picture that her husband Derick Dillard posted on his Instagram page has everyone talking about what might be going on. This is just a simple pic of their son Israel, but his caption is what got everyone curious. The Duggar family doesn't believe in birth control, so everyone is assuming Jill and Derick will also have a large family.
At the age of ten, most children are dependent on their parents for everything in their lives needing a great deal of attention and care. However, Ellen, the main character and protagonist of the novel Ellen Foster, exemplifies a substantial amount of independence and mature, rational thought as a ten-year-old girl. The recent death of her mother sends her on a quest for the ideal family, or anywhere her father, who had shown apathy to both she and her fragile mother, was not. Kaye Gibbons’ use of simple diction, unmarked dialogue, and a unique story structure in her first novel, Ellen Foster, allows the reader to explore the emotions and thoughts of this heroic, ten-year-old girl modeled after Gibbons’ own experiences as a young girl.
Soon after he begins watching him, Tam Lin explains how choices affect one's character to Matt. "…you can choose which way to grow. If you're kind and decent, you grow into a kind and decent man" (70). This confused Matt at the time, but he listened and it stayed with him. He diverges from El Patron many times with his choices. A good example of this is when he and Chacho fall into the pit. Using an enormous effort, Matt crawls out, but Chacho can't. He doesn't respond when Matt calls to him, so Matt doesn't even know if his friend is alive. Physically, Matt cannot do anything to rescue him, so he talks. "…he couldn't leave Chacho behind, either… He talked until his throat was raw, but he didn't stop because he felt this was the only rope he could throw to Chacho" (336). Matt is injured, exhausted, and scared. He doesn't know if one of his only friends is alive or not, but he keeps talking, keeps trying to help him, because it is the right thing to do. El Patron would not have done this. El Patron would have gotten out himself, and then disregarded his friend, because he always puts himself first. Matt shares his DNA with El Patron, but not his

On the April edition of "OK! Magazine,” has wrote an article about Kylie Jenner. They stated that she spent over $40,000 on plastic surgery to have better looks such as, having a curvy body, upgrading her face, and having bigger lips, buttocks, and breasts. The language of the article emphasizes that her looks make her look older than her actual age. This shows that women can be criticized by the fact they want to look better. “OK! Magazine” even stated that many teens tried to get Kylie’s lips by sucking their lips in jars or shot glasses. Since, teens are doing this, Kylie Jenner should be more careful on what she says on the media because she stated she applied a lot of lip liner to make her lips bigger. They also stated, that Kylie is
The 1960s marked an age of transition in the United States. Movements advocating equal rights involved minorities emerged across the country, challenging the hegemony which biased and restrained the minorities. Feminist movement was one of those.
