The Right to Grief and Self-Reliance -(Self-Reliant)

# data[].attributes.body
Both The Right to Grief and Self-Reliance talk and show examples about self-reliance.  In Self-Reliance, it states that “A man is relieved and gay when he has put his heart into his work and done his best; but what he has said or done otherwise shall give him no peace.”  In the Right to Grief, we see that little children are going to work in unsanitary and not safe environments. This shows how self-reliant these children are.

They are accepting what is happening to them. They are going to die whether it be by their job or their poverty-ridden life. They connect because they both talk about accepting the situation you have been out in.

He works and works, determined to keep on, but he earns almost nothing and watches as people drive by with the flowers he cut.

Kortina was made self- reliant at a young age. Because she was poor she had to do many things that children did not have to do. She became self- sufficient, she had to cook, clean, and work for herself; she wasn't able to rely on her parents anymore, or else she would've died. The Jungle says, "She had to cook the meals and wash the dishes and clean the house, and have supper ready when the workers came home in the evening... She had to take care of her [crippled] bother." Unfortunately, despite trying very hard to be self-reliant and take care of her brother, her Kristoforas still ended up dying and Kotrina couldn't help him.

Both Kotrina from The Jungle and Anzia from "America and I" show the American ideal of self-reliance. Anzia, after feeling hopeless, found inspiration in her own life. She was  "Fired up by this revealing light, [and she] began to build a bridge of understanding between the American-born and [herself]...In only writing about the Ghetto [she] found America," all because she relied on herself. Kotrina also has to be self reliant because she is constantly caring for her little siblings while her parents work. She can't ask anyone else for help because she is all alone, so she became self reliant.
