    Let It Snow

    The mother in the story is very strict sounding and harsh. Yelling “Get the hell out of my house” (Quoted in Sedaris 89) to the children is supporting proof. She seemed to be an “in the closet” alcoholic who couldn’t control her stress and emotions. It’s easy to say that when she was out of her comfort zone she didn’t care about anyone but herself and her “habit”. She might have had serious issues which Sedaris didn’t mention. Or maybe she just was not used to being around her children that much during the week? Either way she lost her cool and kicked the children out in a manner that Sedaris called it an “eviction” (Quoted in Sedaris 89). The children (Amy, David, Gretchen, and Tiffany) didn’t believe she was serious until she wouldn’t let them back in.…

    Family Relations In Sonny's Blues By James Baldwin

    Even as a young adult, one must have such relations in order to be guided on a path to success. Parents strive to search for the best ways to raise happy and healthy children and are often concerned if their children are using drugs. However, research backed by the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) shows that parents play a critical role in preventing the use of drugs in children. When I was reading “Sonny’s Blues,” I wondered if Sonny’s life would be different if his family had still been watching him. I realized that Sonny lacked a loving family, and therefore turned to drugs. That is why I believe that children need to strong family support and thorough education at school to warn and prevent against harmful…

    The theme is people who choose to live their lives in the streets, instead of getting an education will eventually find themselves dead. Through the use of alliteration words such as: 'lurk late' 'strike straight' ‘sing sin’ and ‘jazz June’ show us how the kids spend their time while they were not in school. Lines 3-6 explain how they would stay up late, they would sing sin. A way to interpret singing is cheerful, celebrating, and being joyful. So they would celebrate their sins and drink gin. Gin was very popular liquor in the 1960’s until vodka came along.…
