They have stayed by my side sense I was a baby and I can trust them with anything. I definitely look up to my cousins because I want to be like them in the future, they get good grades, don’t talk bad, and as of now are continuing to be very successful in life. They always are there for me when I need support and give me the best advice. When I am mad they always know how to calm me down, they basically are my therapist. 
My parents don’t expect me to follow in their footsteps, they want me to find what I love to do and go for it. I’m against the fact that parents force their children to follow in their footsteps because their children should be able to form their own career because that’s what they will be doing in their future, they should be excited. Children should be able to pick what they want to do in the future, not have it chosen by their parents. Parents who chose their children’s career should be ashamed because they chose a career for their children that won’t make them happy. This meaning that their children won’t live a happy life and everyday wont look forward to work, they will be miserable. ]]> 2019-03-20 19:43:37 UTC https://padlet.com/samanthabuer221/4cu985jk0hmx/wish/343521207 samanthabuer221 https://padlet.com/samanthabuer221/4cu985jk0hmx/wish/344376103
1. “All one can really leave ones children is what’s inside their heads. Education, in other words, and not earthly possessions, is the ultimate legacy, the only thing that cannot be taken away”(Dr. Wernher von Braun). Explaining that education is something that will stay with you forever and will never leave, and whatever is in your head, it won’t go away. Things you have learned and seen will forever be contained in your head and also all those memories you have made. Nothing has the power of taking these things away from you. This quote suggest that children retain knowledge so a way to get to children and for them to remember things, teach them. Have yourself show these children and expose these children to knew things, instead of giving them, which is something they could lose or brake.
2. “All I’ve done is give you a book. You have to have the courage to learn what’s inside it”(Miss Freida Joy Riley). Let your knowledge and mind explore/wonder. Reading the book, is causing your knowledge to expand and when expanding let yourself dream. The author has given us this book to tell a story of imagination, so now it’s your turn to really read it and think about it. This quote suggest to go out of your comfort zone in a way and don’t think about things to seriously, but instead really use your knowledge and have fun with reading this story. Have the ‘courage’ to let your mind roam and when given something take it for granted and have fun with you.

First, Sonny and his mother were talking with each other and sonny is confused as to why his dad dislikes him and adding onto this he tells himself “I knew dad thought about Jim all the time, was always telling people what a great football player he was, and how he was going to tear up the world in football when he grows up”(43). Sonny’s thoughts are correct and he knows he is correct. He has felt this for awhile now and doesn’t understand why his father doesn’t like him, and he instead knows that his fathers favorite is Jim. Sonny doesn’t dislike his family but he probably feels left out in a way and doesn’t really feel welcomed or as comfortable in his home because of this. Second, Jim has just gotten back home, blaming his dad for rulening his football career and playing in college. Sonny feeling now sympathy for him walked over to Jim and “cracked opened Jim’s door and suggested, with no little glee, there might be room for them in the band”(115). Sonny has no sympathy or feeling of badness towards his brother currently. Jim is yelling at his father for maybe rulening his whole career of playing football, but Sonny doesn’t even care. Sonny just makes him feel even worse about the situation. This is because Jim has done so much to Sonny in the past, like bullying him, that he feels he doesn’t have to feel bad for his older brother. All in all, Sonny’s reaction to the way his dad doesn’t like him and how he didn’t even budge when his brothers career might be over shows that Sonny loves his family but at the same time doesn’t feel loved. ]]> 2019-03-29 05:01:25 UTC https://padlet.com/samanthabuer221/4cu985jk0hmx/wish/346419301
