2. Another big event was when Jullie’s house burned down. Her cat was sadly killed and all of her belongings were destroyed. Her and her family had to live in a camper, and Julie was given almost nothing for clothing and food. 

3. The last big event was when Julie found out from her mother that the Parents were the ones who burnt the house down. Julie was furious and so confused on why her own parents would burn their house down. They did it to get money for a divorce and they just wanted the sympathy of other people. Julie realized that both her parents were mentally insane and this is when he knew she had to get away from her mom once and for all.

This time period affected how Julie was treated in the medical field. Doctor’s back then weren’t aware of the forms of child abuse, so they didn’t undertsand that this was all the mother’s doings. So if this happened in this time, the Doctor’s would probably have caught on and found out that the mother had Munchausen by Proxy.

The main action of the story took place in the family’s double wide trailer house in the middle of the country. This house was very private and nobody was around, which made it extremely difficult to catch the child abuse that had been happening for many years. They lived in this house all the way up until the parents decided to burn it down.

This house greatly impacted the family because they had to live very squished and in a packed environment, especially since they had many foster kids, and veterans living with them at times. The location of it being isolated was the reason the. Parents never got caught with the abuse of their children.

Julie used Pathos towards the end of the story by explaining how she still loved her mom deeply and she even moved back in with her. Julie soon learns that her mom is back to her old ways and Julie chooses to leave again, but this shows the true bond that a family can have even when they hurt each other in unbelievable ways.

Julie used logos by explaining what Munchausen by Proxy was after she found out that that’s what happened to her. She is incredibly shocked when she finds out this is. real thing and she cannot believe that this is what her mother did to her.
