When parents place high expectations for their children, the children will obey their parents. In "Girl" by Jamacia Kincaid, Kincaid writes "Dont sing benna in sunday school [said the mother] but i dont sing benna on sundays at all and never in sunday school." This means that the daughter obeyed her mothers rules/expectations and does not sing benna. This proves that when parents place high expectations for children, they will obey. Kincaid also writes "[the mother says] this is how you hem a dress when you see the hem comming down and so to prevent yourself from looking like the slut I know you are so bent on becoming." This means that the mother is showing her how to fix/sew her dress so that she doesn't look inappropriate. This proves that when parents place high expectations on children, it is so that the children don't rebel and instead obey.

When people want to love or want to be loved, the majority will seek happiness for both themselves and their partner. The text "O.C.D." by Neil Hilborn states that, "...when she said she loved me, her mouth would curl up at the edges". The text also says, "...I can't go out and find someone new because I always think of her." This means that the girl is happy with him because she smiles when telling him that she loves him. The guy was also happy with her because he says he can't go out and simply find a new person because he's always thinking about his first love. This proves that the pair was happy with one another.

From my perspective the importance of being literate is people would pay attention to you because you sound more educated. Its says Malcom X tried talking to the governor of massachusetts. The article states that " Its was bcause of my letters I happened to stumble upon starting to aquire some kind of homemade education". This means he had to find a way to make it better. These was even a time when the book he was reading was to hard he could not understand it. He says that "bambi had always taken charge of any conversation he was in, and I had to tried to emulate him. But every book I picked up had a few sentances which didnt word that might as well been in Chinese".This
proves that being literate makes you sound educated.

Because of people having O.C.D., they try their best to keep love alive in their relationship. In the poem titled, "O.C.D" by Neil Hilborn, he says, "I asked her out six times in thirty seconds. She said yes after the third one, but none of them felt right, so I had to keep going." This means that people have O.C.D try to keep their relationship strong and that it can last forever.

In this story i would conclude that Jeannette Walls is a mean person because she left her parents homeless. According to the third paragraph Jeannette Walls concludes that it had been months since i laid eyes on Mom, and when she looked up, I was overcome with panic that she'd see me and call out my name, and that someone on the way to the same party would spot us together and Mom would introduce herself and my secret would be out. In addition to that Jeannette slid down in the seat and asked the driver to turn around and take me home to Park Avenue meaning she doesnt want to be embarrased by her homeless mom. Although, some may say that Jeannette is nice because it says that she's worried about her mom, she says, Tell me what i can do to help and it is true she has tried to help her family but it hasnt gave much evidence.

In order to keep love alive, both people in the relationship have to give effort.  In "O.C.D." by Neil Hilborn, he wrote "She told me that I was taking up too much of her time."  The guy was giving her all his effort he could, while the woman was the one not giving an equal amount nor more effort than the guy.  This caused the love to not keep being alive.  I feel that in a relationship both people should put in the same amount of push for the relationship.  If only one person is giving something and the other isn't, the relationship is gone. The woman at one point did care buy then she lost her patience.

When people seek love, they are looking for someone who shares the same feelings as them. Because love is love, I believe that one way or another, the partners will find similar interests (if not found already), passion, and happiness in their relationship. If not found before, their love can grow stronger as their relationship grows as well. In the poem "OCD" written by Neil Hilborn, he writes, "...I spent more time organizing my meak by color than I did eating, or fucking talking to her...But she loved it." This means that his condition affected his relationship but she still understood and loved him. This proves that the author loved the girl for accepting and returning love, which made their love even more powerful. Hilborn also writes, "I asked her out six times in thirty seconds. She said yes after the third one, but none of them felt right, so I had to keep going..." This means that the girl knew about his condition, and accepted him. This proves that they both shared the same feelings for eachother, which made him love the girl even more.

Although kids believe that they don't owe something to their parents their are actually many things such as giving respect and accepting them, because they gaved us everything no matter what their conditon was .Based on the excerpt it states that "i was overcome with panic that she'd see me and called out my name " this means that jeanette didn't have respect towards her mother instead she was embarrased .This points out that kids owe respect to their parents , and they should not feel less about them instead they should feel happy that they are alive and safe.Also, in the article paragraph #9 it states that "She'd washed her face but her neck and temple were still dark with grims" this means that she didn't accepted the little things her mother did for her. All together teens do owe something to their parent which is respect and acceptance.

When people are out seeking love, they seek for happiness and understanding. People look for someone who can understand and accept them for who they are. In the poem "O.C.D" by Neil hilborn, it states, "she loved that I had to kiss her goodbye sixteen times or twenty-four times if it was Wednesday." This means that she loved him even though his disorder would get the best of him. This proves that she made him happy because she was able to understand who he was as a person. In the poem it aslo mentions, "she loved that it took me forever to walk home because there are lots of cracks on our sidewalks." This is basically saying that she didn't care about his obsessions, as long as they were happy. People want happiness and someone who can understand them, thats what they seek in love

Love, wether you believe in it or not, the fact that it can help people with mental disorders or not can not be denied. An example of this would be from the poem "O.C.D" by Neil Hilborn the author states, "How can it be a mistake that I don't have to wash my hands after i touched her ?" This powerful quote from an amazing poem shows how love can help people heal or become better people. This quote bring us inside the mind of a person who suffers from O.C.D and hoe love has helped them with their disorder, he explains to us how having someone to love has helped him rid of some of his "habits" that he can not control. He no longer washes his hands after touching her, without knowing it she has helped him. Love can not only heal a soul, fill you with joy, make you feel warm inside but can also heal the mind, I'm not saying that only people with O.C.D are the ones who need love, everyone needs love, everyone needs some one and love can just as equally help them.

When parents have high expectations for children, they expect them to understand difficult problems. In the text "Girl" by Jamaica Kincaid, Kincaid writes, " Wash the white clothes on Monday and put them on the stone heap wash the color clothes on Tuesday and put them on the clothesline to dry." This means that women are expected to wash cloth on Monday and Tuesday to be known as a women. This proves that women must be able to learn on how to clean to be a good wife and they have high expectations for their children to be similar like them.

When a person tries to keep the love alive, both people have to have a commitment. In O.C.D. by Neil Hilborn he states,"She told me that she shouldn't have let me get so attached to her, that this whole thing was a mistake, but..." This conveys that if the other person didn't want a commitment or try to make it work, what is the point of him going after her? It might hurt right now but it'll get better once he meets someone that tries harder to have a strong relationship, and is willing to love him despite of his disorder.

Because someone wants to keep love alive, they have to show that they care. In the poem O.C.D by Neil Hillborn he writes, "When she said she loved me her mouth was a straight line." This means that the girl isn't caring anymore because she says it with no emotion. This proves that she doesn't care as much, meaning she doesn't love him anymore. Not having enough love for someone in a relationship ends up hurting them.

When your parents give you everything, what do they get in return? One as a child shall give your parents the right to say theycherish them.

When one tries to keep love alive, it's always one trying harder than the other person. In "O.C.D" by Niel Hilborn, he writes, " I asked her out six times in thirty seconds." The statement is saying that even from the beginning he has always tried. This proves that he fell in love with her from the moment he saw her, and knew it was her that he'd try and do everything for. Because of him trying so hard, she left; she realized that he had gotten too attatched and felt the need to stop loving him, and leave. This is similar to other people because they think they find what they are looking for, but end up hurt.

Because parents are the ones that teach children how to truly behave, children owe their parents for all of the advice that parents offer. In the poem entitled "Girl" by Jamaica Kincaid, Kincaid writes, "this is how you sweep a whole house; this is how you sweep a yard; this is how you smile to someone you don’t like too much." This is an example of how a parent offers a child advise for how to behave at home and around others. The poem is proof that parents, regardless of what we wish to believe, are always trying to do what they think is best for their children, even if the child views it as incorrect.
