Family. Something that is vital to our existence. It is the cycle of life that continues forever. Our relatives are who take care for us at our most innocent stages in life. Family is imperative to human life, therefore we all must continue to abide with them.
Families are the support for all people; they take care when we are ill, families back us up when there is trouble or conflict within other family members, and they do far more to help each individual succeed in life. Most of all, families love us. For example, in the book A Tree Grows in Brooklyn, Francie decided that she would prefer to go to a new school. Johnny let her attend that school, only because he loved her. If Johnny was a cruel man that despised children, he wouldn’t have even thought about accepting that change. Love is a key factor to having a healthy family.
As well as love in a family being an important aspect, encouragement to a listless person is also incredibly essential. An example in A Tree Grows in Brooklyn is when Katie was depressed and upset because she had no money, while single-handedly having to mother three children. Although Katie was in denial, Sissy and Evy were there to comfort her. Support is an aspect probably far more important than any other one to a superior family.
The Nolan family was very grateful to have a family, and they took that as an advantage to their future. Families are the support when others are in denial, and they’re also around to share their love for you. Overall, families are critical to the survival of all people on Earth, therefore we must appreciate our own.

Response for sub-theme "change"
Change is a very difficult occurrence that happens to everyone. It is often looked at in two ways. One perspective of how change is considered is that it is a treacherous and highly feared notion. On the other hand, optimists view change as a moment to refresh their past and start a new chapter in their life. People always encounter change, therefore everyone in society must learn to adapt to these differences.
Change is intervening a certain routine, and making it different. Most often, people look at change in the pessimistic way. As humans, we are generally fine with what we have and where we are. When we notice that change is coming along the road, depression and stress fills up our lives. Sometimes we feel that life is already satisfactory and doesn’t need change. For example, in the book A Tree Grows in Brooklyn, Katie worries when Francie and Johnny come home talking about how Francie has decided to change schools. Katie already feels comfort and use for the school that Francie is in currently. This process is rarely ever easy to adapt to.
As well as all the cynical people’s points of view, there are many positive humans that believe that change will benefit their lives. Those people consider all of the advantages that come out of changes, and proceed from there. Normally, individuals who are unsatisfied with the environment surrounding them are the ones who think optimistically about change. They feel that possibly any adjustment couldn’t be inferior to there current situation. A good example of that would be in the book A Tree Grows in Brooklyn, when the Nolan family was in a more dangerous position than they would’ve preferred. Aunt Sissy brought a dangerous object into Francie and Neeley’s environment, therefore they believed it would be better in their case to change locations. Only a perfect life would not need change, yet no single human being is perfect. Therefore, every person on Earth needs change sometime in their time on Earth.
Adjustment is a concept that can be interpreted in two very common ways; the pessimistic attitude, and the optimistic approach. It is not simple to acknowledge, however, the action must be accomplished and dealt with at some point in life. Change will always interfere with everyone’s existence, so we all need to discover how to adapt and accept it.

When Is The Right Time To Honor Our Veterans?
Veterans are a very important part of the nation’s services. After all, they are defending our country from any dangerous and precarious incidents that could potentially affect the United States of America. Obviously, we should honor these veterans everyday with great respect and dignity.
The veterans who risk their lives across the sea in very deprived countries don’t fight, hide, or do any different responsibilities only on the days and times they want to. Therefore, we shouldn’t only respect and choose to honor those extremely brave and courageous heroes at our own preferred times, as we should do that every day and at the most frequent times that we are able to. Whether this means praying for them, donating items for food drives, or even writing essays about them, this action should be done. Writing essays about America’s valiant veterans would inspire many students, teachers, and even other American citizens that love to honor our veterans of the United States of America. We take living in the United States for granted, but we have no idea how difficult it actually is to be in foreign countries, defending your own life, while saving or changing many other people’s lives. Citizens who live in America have a fairly simple routine; wake up, take a shower, eat breakfast, go to work or school, eat lunch, eat dinner, and finally, go to sleep. It seems challenging at the moment, but when you actually think about the process, it becomes very simple compared to the lives of soldiers overseas.
Unfortunately, many American veterans do pass away in combat. These very heroic members of the military are always remembered. A proper funeral and burial is always necessary for these mighty veterans, as they have done far much for our country. However, many more of America’s veterans do come back home alive, and they get to tell the stories of their war, and how they got to serve for the United States of America. How awesome would that be to be able to defend the world’s best country in the world?! Well, it’s the best according to American citizens!
Overall, the veterans who risk their lives to defend The United States of America deserve to be honored everyday, and as frequently as we’re able to, for they have done many great things for this country!

Response to "All Summer In a Day"
You are laying on the floor of your garage, obliterated and forlorn. Depression flows through your head, as you wonder if insanity is dictating your life. Knowing there is no hope, you wait until the moment that life waits to surrender. A person should not be isolated in society, as all people should comprise equally to force friendship.
Isolation is a human’s biggest fear in life. Being alone with no one to talk to or be with is almost as daunting as the thought of death. In the short story “All Summer In a Day”, Margot is separated from everyone in the classroom. In addition, Margot’s parents shun her in a way. They didn’t communicate with her realistically, and they weren’t anywhere that they could support Margot. In general, Margot was truly isolated from the world around her.
As well as isolation being a tremendous fear, it also can cause other abnormal behaviors. Insanity is a strangely common effect that occurs to secluded people, exactly like what happened to Margot. Margot was a very lonesome girl who chose not to cooperate or interact with anyone in her environment. Over the years of Margot being neglected from people in her surroundings, unfortunately she became insane. For example, Margot wouldn’t let any water touch her head, and she even screamed that it be turned off. In other words, insanity can really take over an isolated person’s life.
Overall, isolation is a very horrific thought and situation to be in. People who ever feel isolated from the atmosphere around them should attempt to befriend others, in evasion from insanity. All people in the world should force friendship between one another, for no person in society should ever be isolated.
