What Similarities and differences can you find between Growing Up
and The Son’s Veto? You should pay particular attention to the way
the relationships between parents and children are portrayed by the
authors. Thomas Hardy
Thomas Hardy was a pre-twentieth, post-nineteenth century author, he
wrote short stories and novels, even poems. Hardy explores the
different levels of relationships between men and women. He delves
into the environments and the circumstances in which they live upon.
Hardy digs deep to find the love hate and sacrifice in this story,
‘The Son’s Veto.’ It is basically about the relationship between
mother and son, husband and wife and two lovers. ‘The Son’s Veto’ is a
roller coaster of emotions, happy, sad, frustrating, sorrow, love,
remorse and hate, each feeling immense in themselves. Joyce Cary
passed away in 1957. When he died he had become accepted as one of the
best modern novelists. In ‘Growing Up’ one of his famous novels, there
is a moral, ‘no matter how old we are we are never too old to learn.’
This story concentrates on the relationships of the two sisters and
their father, it grasps the meaning of love from the father, hate from
the daughters to their father but most of all it grasps the meaning of
growing up vividly in a more modernist twentieth century way.
In ‘The Son’s Veto’ it goes on about a story of a woman in a
wheelchair, with beautiful braided hair, and it is basically a story
of the relationships revolving around this woman, and with her. This
story starts off with a full-blown introduction of this woman, with a
description of her hair, and her stance, and her features. Then it
goes onto her past, like a premonition, describing the village of
where she lived, and the emotions of the goings on around the village.
We meet Sophy; Sophy is the woman from the present, with the beautiful
braided hair. She is a strong character, the parlour maid in the
parson’s house. Then we move on to meet another character, Sam. He is
the gardener of Sophy’s acquaintance. ‘He was a young gardener of her
acquaintance. She told him the particulars of the late event, and they
stood silent,’ this shows us there is some kind of awkwardness between
these two people. They begin to converse. They start walking towards
Sophy’s mothers door, with Sam presenting his arm around her waist, as
you can see from this, Sam likes her in a sexual way, but from Sophy’s
reaction, ‘she gently removed it’ the feeling isn’t mutual.
We move on to meet the Parson, Mr Twycott.
My family has a saying that we all use religiously “FITFO” it stands for Figure it the F*** Out. You don’t, or at least shouldn’t, have to be told how to do everything. Be responsible for your own skills and abilities. It’s like they say about learning a language, “you learn it best by submission”. You pick up all the slang and different accents by hearing the language spoken, not in the classroom. Same in many aspects of life. You may learn generalizations about some things from being taught, but the best wat to really learn all of the small things and specific details is by going out and doing

The daughter alludes to an idea that her mother was also judged harshly and made to feel ashamed. By the daughters ability to see through her mothers flaws and recognize that she was as wounded as the child was, there is sense of freedom for both when the daughter find her true self. Line such as “your nightmare of weakness,” and I learned from you to define myself through your denials,” present the idea that the mother was never able to defeat those that held her captive or she denied her chance to break free. The daughter moments of personal epiphany is a victory with the mother because it breaks a chain of self-loathing or hatred. There is pride and love for the women they truly were and is to be celebrated for mother and daughter.
This is a story of a people in crisis, and one woman's struggle to use truth, as

One of the most famous saying of all time is that “we live until we die”. We start learning from the moment we are born, firstly the basic human functions, than our parents and society teaches us how to behave correctly, not to make bad things, to help one another. We go to school, we start learning all kinds of subjects, maybe for somebody some of them are irrelevant, but we are supposed to know a little bit from everything. With time, we start to love some particular subject better than the rest, we can`t wait until that class comes so we could learn more about that subject. When finishing high school, we are at one of the first and one of the biggest crossroads in our entire life – what next? Should we go to college and improve about knowledge (and if I go, to what college, and what could be my major), what should I do next with my life, what do I want to do for the rest of my life? But maybe the most important question of them all is does my

The theory that I most identified with this semester was more of a topic in our book, rather than a theory. As I mentioned in my discussion post this week, learning about the generational differences has become extremely helpful to me in my personal and professional lives. More so in my professional life because I work in an office that has people from all different generations. Let me share a story with you that really made me realize how big of an impact this topic had on me.

"The important thing is not so much that every child should be taught, as every child should be instilled with the wish to learn."
Everyone has a mom and a dad, however some people only live with one of the parent. Some parents are single parent or some have remarried to a different person, thus giving the child a step parent. If the step parent is up for the challenge and parents correctly they can easily just become a motherly or fatherly figure instead of the step mom or step dad. Regardless, there are many differences between a mom and dad. They typically have different ideas on parenting styles, different attitudes towards certain experiences or ideas, etc. They are almost never completely on the same page, but if they are it is very well known it took quite some time to get there together.
