This came with the territory, but what else came with the territory, he was not expecting. His wife begins to take her anger out on him, letting her frustrations of the children out on her husband.

Throughout the course of the Roman Republic, they were threatened by many different countries around them. They created a mighty military that crushed the Latin states. After that, they waged a war against the Samnites, and were victorious. They had a significant portion of Italy as a result, and came into direct contact with the Greeks. The Roman's culture was greatly affected by the Greeks (such as adapting gods). Later on, the Romans crushed the Greeks, and had most of Italy under control. Their conquests were successful because of their great military strategy and their effectiveness of their ruling. For example, they gave their conquered civilians full Roman status, and gave them a stake in success. They also crushed rebellions without mercy, and used force when necessary. The Romans were good soldiers and persistent ones; they rebuilt the losses after each battle. They also built interconnecting roads that helped them move ideas, people, and weapons/food across Italy to fortified positions. Rome essentially mobilized the manpower of Italy for war.…
She is a working mother, which is unthinkable during this era, considering that she is from old money. She has gone without fillings in her teeth, so that he could have straight teeth, and she has sent him to college; something that a single mother generally can not do, which is a huge success on her part. Although life has taken some negative turns, such as the death of her husband, she thinks of herself as a winner because she has been able to single-handedly provide a promising future for her child. It is evident that Julian is aware of his mother’s sacrifices when it is addressed that he “... did not like to consider all she did for him” (O’Connor, 1965, p, 909). Rather than being appreciative, he attempts to find flaws in her decisions, and scrutinizes her every action. He claims that she made “... a mess of things” (O’Connor, 1965, p. 913), and spends most of his time discriminating her life, although he claims that it would be easier to find faults within her if she had been a violent alcoholic. This unthankful characteristic is a widespread phenomenon in the new generation. Many young adults overlook the great sacrifices and obstacles that their elders have overcome in order to provide a better life for them. Rather than being acknowledged, the majority of these selfless acts go unnoticed everyday. This is tragic, because compassion should not become an endangered…

When the sisters first heard about the possibility of their father engaging in marriage once more, the files of their minds were swarmed with diverse data. As they focused on the very possibility, they reflected of his physical demeanor. At age 70 he is starting to look more like someone's gardener. His feet reduced to a shuffle are covered only in the brokenness of tattered sandals because of his frugalness. His body language speaks of his physical determination. As he adorns himself in used clothing he coughs phlegmatically while he rest on his patio. Although he still consistent in his exercises regiment, the movements of his body have turned from fluent to that which portrays how time had deterriated his level of conditioning. The hygiene techniques that are used to define youth now paint a different portrait. One that views him for the first time would coin him as "old dragon whiskers" and not because of his Oriental area. This term would be phrased because of his frugal habits of saving money by not splendid furiously on razors and shaving cream. The girls thought of him as their "Crazy old Chinese Father" which was a rationalization for his problem, spending money.…

With this thinking hat, we focus on the data available to us. We observe and look at the information we have, and from there, we can learn from it. This is also where we look for gaps in our knowledge, and either try to fill them or take account of them. By using this hat, we can analyze past trends, and try to extrapolate from historical data. It is about making use of what we know. We’ll provide examples from the story itself and also do reflections based on our way of seeing things.…

I do not think that colleges have moral obligations to help students become ethical individuals because for one, there are a lot of people who attend college from different backgrounds, and with that comes different upbringings. I believe that colleges don't teach ethical morals because it would contradict what was taught to the student by their family, friends, and other social and religious influences. I also believe that colleges don't teach ethical morals because there are a lot of careers that require for you to have no type of emotional attachment in your field of work. For example, you're a licensed doctor, and for the first time, a small child dies…

While it may seem that the mother has it all and more, she is sorely lacking the one thing that is genuinely true: love. Rather than putting neatness and organization to the side in order to fully love and appreciate her daughter and her feelings, she has chosen to sterilize and disinfect every nook and cranny of her spotless house. It is in this way that she reminds me of a Stepford Wife. She never…
