Post 7: Heartbroken and Bad Relationship

 My theme would be the heartbroken and bad relationships in my family. When I was younger as a child, my family was great in the first place. At age 7, I heard my mom arguing and fighting over dad about something he did, like drugs. My dad left the whole family behind, and I found out that he steals a lot of money from my mom. My dad only cares about money than spending time with the family. He broke the family's heart and trust. We started crying, and it made us feel angrier toward our father after that. It affects our lifestyle and relationship.

    I could only image what you been through. Trauma make us stronger and helped to form who we are today. I have relatives who experience some what like you. So I just hope you the best and try to stay positive.

    This seems like such a terrible experience to have especially at the age of 7. Growth is something hard and forgiveness is even harder. I hope it all works out and Your family can get past it.

    It's so tough to grow up having a bad relationship with your family. I can't imagine how hard it must've been but I think that you'll definitely grow stronger for it to pass by.

    Thinking of the cup half full is always a better way to go. The emotional trauma makes one stronger and will allow you to get into a better place than before. It shapes who you will be all throughout your life.

Post 11: Metaphor

Langston Hughes's "Harlem" metaphor compares the dream and the bomb. It felt like the metaphor reminded me of having a nightmare in my dream. Sometimes I go to sleep to keep dreaming, and there was a monster in my dream. In the poem "Harlem," it asked, "does it explode?" (432). Yes, I might get scared in the middle of the nighttime.

Post 14: 19th vs 21st Century Women in America

 In the 19th century, all women were housewives who had to take care of children and clean the house while the husband had gone to work to make money. For example, Nora never goes to college or gets a job because of 19th gender norms. Women were untreated fair and not enough freedom. All she does was cleaning the house and take care of the children, but she was very bored at home doing nothing. In the 21st century, women had the same equal right as men. Both women and men can take care of children and cleaning the house as a family. Women get a job and go to college to get an education.

Post 5: Psychology of "The Ones Who Walk Away from Omelas"

 This story, "The Ones Who Walk Away from Omelas," takes place at the Festival of Summer in Omelas which people who are celebrating and be happy to dance around. They sacrificed an innocent child over partying and food. In the first paragraph, it said that "[c]hildren dodged in and out, their high calls rising like the swallows' crossing flights over the music and the singing" (Le Guin). The people of Omelas were to live in a utopia; they want to be happy people. I felt terrible for the children because it was untreated fair and disrespectful. Le Guin is critiquing about "[h]appiness is based on a just discrimination of what is necessary, what is neither necessary nor destructive, and what is destructive." In other words, it is saying that happiness predicated on simple discrimination of what's necessary, what's neither essential nor harmful, and what's harmful.
