Rory talks about his childhood explaining how difficult it was for his mother to raise 5 kids on her own without their father around. Times were really difficult for his family, until one day when Rory met the love of his wife, Joey. Rory and Joey both had a strong passion for music, and became very popular within the county charts. When Joey found out she had cancer she never gave up for what she loved. This book inspired me in many ways; always believe you can do better, never give up hope, and stay strong through everything. Rory’s childhood was nothing next to perfect. His father was an alcoholic and was on drugs. He always thought he wanted to be just like his father until the day came when he realized he could become something better.

When they met they decided it was for a special reason, and they grew stronger within their faith for the Lord. The Feek family has made me open up and take everything for granted.

She knew from that moment that Rory was the one she was going to marry. Joey thought this was good until the day she lost all strength and decided to just move on. She thought by forgetting Rory that would cure all her pain. What she did not know was she lost all her strength in something that become amazing.

    This book started off as the Yankees just winning their third World Series in just four years. In the locker room everyone was celebrating as Derek Jeter was trying to get to the exit so he could find his parents. Derek's parents have been helping him to achieve his goals. As a child he was required to do his homework before he did anything else. He also had to sign a contract each year about his goals and the rules he needed to follow to be able to participate in sports. In high school Derek played baseball and basketball at Kalamazoo Central. As a child he grew up in Michigan but was always a Yankee fan. While in high school he was watched by many scouts including scouts from the Yankees. His life goal was to play baseball for the New York Yankees. He first announced this goal to his parent one night when he was very young and his parents sat him down even thought it was very late to talk to him about this. They told him that he could do it but it would be very difficult and he would need to obtain goals and abide by certain rules. This guidance from his parents caused him to be noticed by the Yankees and in the 1st round of the draft in 1992 he was chosen 6th overall by the New York Yankees. As a Minor League player he would create many errors and was sad almost every night. When he got to his room he would call his parents and talk to them.

    I did not like how he would leave and come back numerous times to the point of her parents being so concerned and saddened. He wanted to grow out of the nest and be his own person at the same time. I also found it to be interesting how Kathy supported her sister when she was going through the back-brace situation. She used her “saint” presence to comfort her and show her friends that they barely noticed.…

    From its use of symbolism to the life lesson. Jeannette Walls told her story in a unique way and it made me feel different emotion. After reading about what Jeannette and her siblings had to go through, made me think about my life. Personally, it made me grateful for having a family that provides me a shelter and treats me well. Of course, we all have ups and downs, but it just so hard to believe what she went through. And how she manages to stay strong and positive, when others can easily give up. I highly recommend this book to everyone, as if it can change your perspective on…

    While Paul and Erik’s brotherhood is filled with melancholy, Joey and Mike’s brotherhood is based on endearment, care and stability. Before Mike’s death, they were close and after, there was still a chain that binds them together. “Joey looked away. He clenched his jaw and added, ‘Mike would have been proud of what we did I tell you that.’” (Pg. 90) This shows that Joey wants to make Mike proud. He is inspired by Mike because Mike was like his best friend that was also his brother. Mike also loved his little brother and showed it when he, for example, drove him to his practices and anywhere Joey needed to go. Overall, there relationship was healthy and it is a tragedy that it ended soon.…
