The Liars’ Club displayed all of the troubles that Karr and her family had to go through, but neither of them gave up once, despite all of the hardships and that “cobbled” them “together out of fear” (Karr 320). It’s not easy to look back on unfavorable memories, but in the end an adult Karr and her older mother were able to absolve their feelings by opening up and being honest about what had happened to them so they could be set free from the past. With true grit and family love Karr was able to show how she was able to cope with her abuse and traumatic memories by capturing the moments that strengthened her and her family’s characters and putting them all into her memoir. Karr could finish her memoir with on a soft note as she warmly thinks about her mother, father and sister. That moment was the strongest part about Karr’s memoir because she steps out of her ‘little girl’ self and as an adult woman she does not let the memories break her spirit as she tells her story about the people in her

Woman from town came over to visit and give there condolansis to her but shockingly Emily only said he was not dead. (pg98). This was a major point of the story were change is seen as a real problem for Emily. She kept her dad’s dead body in her home for three days teeling herself and everyone else that he was still alive. Eventally force had to be taken by the police and the body was put in a grave. It is not normal for someone to act like this but also her dad was all she ever knew.

The world is an ever-revolving place. Where in the blink of an eye what was once considered trendy and interesting becomes obsolete in minutes. Fashion, publications, social media, entertainment, and celebrities are news one minute and cease to be acknowledged the next. Which is why when a cable television show, targeted at teenagers on a moderately popular network becomes the most watched television show on Tuesday nights, people have something to talk about. Pretty Little Liars, an ambitious show- for the network that once was solely dedicated to Christian shows such as 700 club- has quickly redefined the way that a show can measure its success. In an article published by Entertainment Weekly it clearly and effectively documents the show and also its rule bending success.
After Emily's father dies, we find her becoming involved with a gay man named Homer Baron who she probably believes she will eventually marry. It is her continual relying on a male figure that gets Emily into this situation. It is the setting in which she lye that has this impact on her thought and understanding.
“Pretty Little Liars”, aired on ABC Family, is a recent television series that I have followed continuously over the past 2 years. This edge of your seat mystery follows the lives of four young ladies searching to find the murderer of their recently deceased best friend, all the while being the prime suspects themselves, and facing threats from an anonymous figure. A myth, in my point of view, is a tale which is created by the adventures that shape a hero. In this series, all four ladies are heros through their journey.
It was hard for her mother to have a baby at a young age herself and try to make ends meet was not easy. She needed to lean on others for help, which she thought at the time was right thing to do, but got caught up on her new family. This is why Emily had so much resentment towards her mother. This story is a great example of a dysfunctional mother-daughter relationship. The story does great job showing the mother’s anguish over her daughter, and a depressed teen that needed her mother and is struggling to overcome a very unhappy childhood.
Emily’s psychotic personality disorder is made completely obvious through the details of the story. Before his death Emily’s father refused to allow her to reach sexual maturity by preventing her from loving any man below their class. This caused sexual ...

Emily has a mental health problem which is a disability. The film does a great job including this because inclusion can be very difficult or not work for some people. This ended up being the case with Emily. It described how difficult it was for Emily’s parents to deal with it along with her. Including how the families deal with the situations show how inclusion can many solutions that are unclear. “Keeping spirit in tact is the best thing you could ever do”, Said Emily. Even though inclusion did not work out as expected for her, she was still happy and held her spirits high. The film could have talked a little bit more on how public schools deal or don’t deal with students with mental health problems. Overall, adding Emily’s story into this film brought more evidence on how inclusion can be difficult and was a great piece of information to
In each episode, there is a courtroom scene a case and the students are followed around to see what new facts they can dig up. One of the major cases was finding out who killed Lila.

Emily was the eldest child in the family. When she was born, her mother was only nineteen years old. Of course, her mother had no experience in raising children and anyone around to teach her how to be a mother. Moreover, when Emily was a one year old, her father abandoned them. Therefore, Emily’s mother had to leave her with a neighbor so she could go to work and earn money for the daughter. Despite the fact that Emily was very small and did not realize all the things, it was the first turning point in the relationship of Emily and her mother.
From the beginning of Emily's life she is separated from those she needed most, and the mother's guilt tears at the seams of a dress barely wrinkled. Emily was only eight months old when her father left her and her mother. He found it easier to leave than to face the responsibilities of his family's needs. Their meager lifestyle and "wants" (Olsen 601) were more than he was ready to face. The mother regrettably left the child with the woman downstairs fro her so she could work to support them both. As her mother said, "She was eight months old I had to leave her daytimes" (601). Eventually it came to a point where Emily had to go to her father's family to live a couple times so her mother could try to stabilize her life. When the child returned home the mother had to place her in nursery school while she worked. The mother didn't want to put her in that school; she hated that nursery school. "It was the only place there was. It was the only way we could be toge...

At the end of Easter Parade Emily says, "I'm almost fifty years old and I've never understood anything in my life."(Yates, 229) Emily goes through many love affairs and many sexual affairs also. She creates a barrier between her and men often in over usage of alcohol. Emily needs men in her life yet fears rejection. She moves between many men as if she were searching to find someone that could replace the lack of love she received from her own father.

The lack of attention she receives from Walter Grimes causes her to constantly search for a male to fit into that role she would have expected her father to fill. She needs men and she eventually does not seem to find any that can fit the role. Emily detaches herself eventually from these men by drinking alcohol when she is around them. She also likes to keep her distance often and uses the men only for sex.
