Q: When your mom died the effects it had on Margot and Lara Jean must have been different then you due to your age. Your sisters had to grow up overnight and become responsible and had to care for you. How do you believe your mom's death impacted you? A: I think that my mom's death made me more appreciative, for the people i do have in my life and I also think it taught me a lifeless that you never know what other are going through because when it first happened we didn't tell everyone immediately and so always treat people kindly because they may be going through something . Q: When you made the decision to mail all of Lara Jean’s love letter was it purely out of anger or was there an alternative motive there? A: It was mostly because …show more content…
In the book you did not let certain people such as Peter. Why do you only allow certain people refer to you ask kitty? A: I think it has a little do with my intimacy issues. It has always been the 4 of us and josh ever since I was little and when some else abruptly comes in and disrupts our group dynamic I think only letting the original 4 people refer to me as kitty is my way of not letting them in. Q: If you had to pick one of your sister whom you admire most which one and why? A: I love both of my sisters equally at most thimens although this opinion changes depending on how they treat me. But i have to say i admire Margot more. Just because the way i see it is she gave up her childhood for me and grew up overnight to take care of me and for that I am forever grateful.

But I believe things happen for a reason even if at first they seem like the end of the world and there is no possible explanation to …show more content…
I know that we are the song girls forever but i believe that it wasn't that that brought us close but it was actually the death of my mother. If she were still here and she was forcing us to like each other and spend time together i don't think our bond would be very strong. Q: Having had lived through both Lara jeans and Margot’s experiences with boys what if anything did you take away from there experiences. A: The one thing I 100% will never do is date to boys at once like Lara even though she wasn't really dating one they developed a relationship still. Also if you have feeling for someone just admit to it because writing -and never intending on sending-secret love letters didn't really work out too well and neither did lying about your feeling because you don't want it to become difficult. Q: In about a year or so when lara jean leaves for college and it is just you and your dad what do you think will happen? Will he take time off to care for you? Higher a nanny? A: I know that daddy would never hire a nanny because that's not hom mom wanted us to be raised. But at first we will most definitely need help from others in our life like josh or neighbors. Just until we setting into the new routine. And during that transition period my
Sal explains, “When my mother was there, I was like a mirror. If she was happy, I was happy. If she was sad, I was sad. For the first few days after she left, I felt numb, non-feeling. I didn’t know how to feel”(Creech 37).
It’s easy to say that everything happens for a reason because it allows people to avoid taking responsibility for their, and others actions. Believing in fate gives people the option to “go with the flow” believing that whatever comes belongs to some master plan.. If someone loses their job, they instinctively turn to something greater than them in hopes of aid, but the truth is that it is entirely up to said person to get their life back. There is no outside help in life, we all drift alone throughout it, only certain that one day we’ll die and fade into oblivion. leaving our loved ones to grieve over our departure while we turn to dust, missing the rest of the short lifespan of our insignificant planet in the infinite sea of the universe.

Are you someone who believes that everything happens for a reason? While some things happen that do not affect any part of my life, I believe that everything happens for a reason no matter what it is. Everything I do in life has a consequence to it whether it be big or little. If nothing had a reason for happening, what would our purpose of living be.
When I was little my mother was with my brothers’ dad and she wasn 't the best mother. I think that I am the way I am today because of how she was and I knew I did not want to be like that. A lot of my
I am completely capable of doing things without him by my side at all hours of the day. That doesn’t mean I don’t want to do things with him, of course I do. I just mean that I don’t need him to be able to do things. I like going out with just girls to get my nails done and go shopping. Just like he likes going to get food and going to the gym with his guys.
In memorializing a loved and cherished one, reminiscing about the past memories that were shared is a great helping hand in coping with the loss and learning to become stronger for oneself. After facing many challenges in their former married life together, Avery and Jean made many attempts to deal with the death of their unborn child. Although, the death of their child was premature and they did not have a chance to experience and create wonderful memories of celebrating its life, they were able to grieve and cope while reminiscing for the newborn baby. Jean shows that she began to understand the death and that remembering it is helps her understand more complex situations and difficulties she faced; when she says “Death is the last reach of love, and all this time she had not recognized what had been her mother's task in her, nor in her child's; for love always has a task”(319) and “A child is like a fate; one's future and one's past”(165). In remembering the death of her child, Jean is able to reminisce on the beauty that a child would have brought to the relationship she had with Avery.
Many people with a mother in their lives can relate to the relationship Maddy has with her mother. After everything Maddy goes through, and her mother always working, she still finds time to spend with her and make her feel free like if she were outside. “I knew it was more than that, I had to protect you. Anything can happen to you out there.” (277).
In the process of reading chapter two, I immediately thought back two years ago. I had the worst Stressor. I've had in my only 16 years of living. My great grandmother, who I lived with along with my mother, my whole life. She passed from stomach cancer. September 14 2013, I remember getting out of the shower with a smile on my face, and my grandmother casually walking in and said "Granny died at 2:34 this morning. I'm going to Chicago and I'll come back the day before the funeral. " My family works in the funeral industry but we do not own a funeral home and we have never buried such a close family member of ours. With my Step father and my mother losing their minds, and my little sister not knowing how to process this and my aunt just down right disappearing, I had to handle this. I was 14 at the time and I was calling on older friends to take me to the bank, finishing arrangements, picking clothes, doing the memorial video and the catering because none of my family offered to cook. I was panicking and literally running from place to place because I was trying to get things done. I was eating more and sleeping less, and from
He will not let anything get in between you two. If something ever does happen, he should be there with you to communicate and to work it out. Communication is key to a relationship, so is trust also. Even through illness, either between the men or women or children, you will always be with each other through everything; nobody lets go of the
She's motivated, brave, encouraging and she preservers through everything. Most of all my mom is strong, caring and loving and she inspires me to be better, to move-on and overcome all my obstacles. As Rashad Evans once said , “My mother is my hero because, what life becomes about is overcoming adversity, and I watched her overcome so much in life but still able to smile. See it's one thing to carry that with you but when they're still able to smile that's something else.
Waking up to the news that your mother died on a Tuesday morning isn’t exactly what I’d call “normal.” By then, I had already accepted the fact she was going to die. We all did. However, that initial, “she’s gone”, said by my aunt still packed a punch. To live one day with your only parent, and to awaken the next with her gone is quite the experience.
Two years and four months ago I died. A terrible condition struck me, and I was unable to do anything about it. In a matter of less than a year, it crushed down all of my hopes and dreams. This condition was the death of my mother. Even today, when I talk about it, I burst into tears because I feel as though it was yesterday. I desperately tried to forget, and that meant living in denial about what had happened. I never wanted to speak about it whenever anyone would ask me how I felt. To lose my Mom meant losing my life. I felt I died with her. Many times I wished I had given up, but I knew it would break the promise we made years before she passed away. Therefore, I came back from the dead determined and more spirited than before.
When Beverly's mother died, she was only 11 years old and it was terribly hard for her. She was the youngest of her brothers and sisters. They each had their own interests and activities, so she often found herself feeling lonely. Her childhood affect...
Now I know. Even though Mom is not here, she still stays with me. She is always watching over me. And when I'm upset and feel like crying, I tell myself that I'm a big girl now, because that would what Mom would do. The best thing is that I can imagine her voice saying that, as if she was right beside me. My memories are linked to sound. Her laugh, her voice, her lullabies. Those are the things that I will never forget. Mom is the one thing that is always on my mind. She's my most unforgettable person.
