Chick only genuinely understands the adversities his mother sustained throughout his life after her death. Throughout Chick’s life, he chose his father because of his strict demands for the loyalty of his son. He continuously treated his mother with disrespect. There are two categories that Chick reflects on throughout the book: Times My Mother Stood Up For Me, and Times I Did Not Stand Up For My Mother. Some of the situations described in this story were humorous, but also very relatable. We don’t often think of the ways we could have respected and stood up for our parents. We also don’t often give our parents recognition for all they have struggled through for us. Sometimes, we don’t even recognize our parents as normal people overall. Parents try their hardest to keep their children away from the harsh realities of life, which is what Chick’s mother was aiming for his whole life. But the real harsh reality is that Chick never treated his mother with the respect she deserved. After her death, he struggled with alcohol, depression, and much more sad things. This story inspires readers to respect their parents more, because giving them respect is the least someone can do for all their parent’s have sacrificed for
I would recommend this book to people who love realistic stories. Personally for me it is hard to find books that interest me and this one felt like if I was watching someone else's life while I read it. It has so many interesting points. When you think something might happen

It is sad at times and you can’t think "this is only a book" but still
I loved this book, its different religious views and different perspectives, the little love story and the search for oneself. It was a book that I couldn’t let go of. A book that can make you cry and is very emotional.
Me personally, I relate to this book and one character in particular. Lily Owens. Lily owens is a fourteen year old girl, living with her father after an incident occurred where she accidentally killed her mother when she was just a little girl. Ever since her mother died, so did apart of her dad, T Ray Owens. T-Ray portraits a angry and hurt man. Because of this, he treats Lily with no respect at all. Another reason
The theme of this book is that the human capacity to adapt to and find happiness in the most difficult circumstances. Each character in the novel shows this in their way. For instance, their family is randomly taken from their home and forced to work but they still remain a close nit family. In addition, they even manage to stick together after being separated for one of their own. These show how even in the darkest time they still manage to find a glimmer of hope and they pursued on.
The primary theme of love prevailing over all hardships was relatable because I have experienced death in my family and have watched people have each other’s backs and express love to one another in order to cope with the hardship. At the same time, not only was it a relatable theme, but the theme was also an eye opener as it taught me love isn’t just intimacy. A lot of times movies and books show love between two characters as being romantic and steamy, however this book proved love to be much more as it made love what healed and helped someone prevail through a time of need. It came in the form of adoration for an object that in turn mended two very opposite people together and kept them together during the time when they felt distanced because they had two different plans for their lives. Another example of this was Mia’s love for the cello helping her get through high school, a time when she couldn't fit in even if she tried. I could also relate to this aspect of the theme because I went to school at Lake Highland, where I couldn't fit in if iI tried because I didn't play a sport, but since I loved dancing so much, I knew that could get me through
From the well written material and Hazels point of view tugging at your heart strings to making the book into a mini mystery game with smaller hidden meanings that are fun to think about. John Green created a masterpiece that will bring sadness and joy at the same time to everybody reading the novel. Your personal struggles won’t even seem half as bad after you finish reading the last word in this story. I promise it will change your views on things even if it’s just small things in your daily life. Bravo to Green for writing such a book that opens the eyes of readers to what our world today lacks, not being so selfish and worrying about ourselves and cherishing the little things in
...ays war, fear, death, loss of those close to you, and human and animal suffering. It’s a sad and tragic book, but at the same time a happy vibrant one as well. Although it is quite strange that in such a modern time period two cousins are having sexual relations, the book really shows how madly in love they are and the costs they are willing to go to so they can be together. This book shows how terrible and painful war is. Death is everywhere in this book and we are being told about it and shown it by a teenage girl, who already has enough problems, like anorexia, as is. All in all this book was utterly wonderful and should not be shrugged off. I would recommend this book to teens and up since some of the content may not be appropriate for younger ages. My overall rating of this would be a four out of ten, since love books are not necessarily my favorite genre.
Charlotte Perkins Gilman grew up in a broken home without the presence of her father. Charlotte eventually moved away from her home with her mother and sister. Charlotte tried to keep in contact with her father, but he did not want any part of the contact. Being rejected by her father, and not receiving any affection from her cold-hearted mother set the tone for the way she would live her life.
I highly recommend this book to anybody who likes a romantic love story, or anybody who likes to see people succeed after going through some tough times and overcoming obstacles that they have faced. The novel is well written, fairly easy to read, and overall a great book.
Becoming a mother has been the best part of my life. I became a mother at a very young age. I had no idea what to expect and was not in the least prepared for the journey that lie ahead. I have truly embraced motherhood and enjoy all the wonderful things it has taught me. While living through motherhood, I have found that it can teach you the most valuable lessons there are to learn. Being a mother has taught me how to have patience. I have also learned that being a mother takes a lot on mental and physical strength. My children have been the best to teach me how to juggle many tasks at once. They have made me strong. Even through some unexpected turns, I have learned how to get through hard times and really learn what it means to never give up. My children are my biggest blessing, and I hope they will learn valuable lessons through me. The skills I have learned from being a mother have helped me in my college journey.
She waited for me 9 months. She spoiled me even before I was born. The tone of her voice sounded like an angel from heaven singing to me. This person is my mother. My mother is my whole world. She has the most angelic soul in this whole planet. The love I have for her is infinite, meaning it will go on forever and ever. I don’t get enough chances to tell my mother how much I love her. I’m deciding to pour my feelings for my lovely mother on a piece of white paper.
This lady is the most wonderful person I 've ever met. She is old, affectionate, and intelligent. It took me eighteen years to realize how much this extraordinary person influenced my life. She 's the type of person who charms everyone with her stories and experiences. She always time for her family and friends. She is the kind of leader who does everything to keep her family together and in harmony. She is my grandmother.
I usually ask people that who is the most special person in your life so usually the answer that I get is “Mother”. And that is also right. In all religions, the mother is compared to God. And in India too it is said that if there is heaven on this earth then it is at out mother’s feet why does mother have an important place in life. “why do we feel so emotional the moment we hear the word, mother?’ why is a mother-child relation so special? When I think of my childhood I get the answer. Mother loves us selflessly and unconditionally. She not only brings us into this world but she also makes us capable to live in this world. She endures everything but never lets us suffer she remains hungry but feeds us she nurtures us with all her love and
