Joan Didion-On going home

1. She feels that she can't give her baby daughter a home now because "they live differently now." She's filled with great dissapointment and sdness that she's not able to provide her daughter with these things, and that affects her logic significantly because now she thinks it's impossible to give her these things, which is not true. She pretends that she's somebody else to her great-aunts. This is the thing she does to gain a sense of home. The reason she chooses what she does is because that was the first and only thing to choose.

2. My defintion of family and home is a place and people that you belong to. A family is very important in American culture because having a caring successful family increases your chances of succeeding, and America is a very succeeding nation. Two negatives of my definition is the poeple who don't have a family, and the people whose family is bad. Two positives are a person with a famiily, and a person who's family is good.

3. Some things my mom does that would directly seem different to an outsider is yell constantly for very minute things. She honestly makes a big deal out of anything and everything. I obviously dislike this about my mom because it gets annoying aand frustrating driving in the car with her.

4. Family and home- a place where you belong, and people you belong to. To me, what it means to be a part of my family is strictly abiding by muslim rulles and values. If I could change one thing about my family it would be this because my parents are too strict and anti-liberal.
