Personal Narrative-Malevolence And Absolute Control

331 Words2 Pages

On a lazy summer afternoon, my father carefully gathered his belongings, headed for the door, and never returned. My mother and I exulted in our newfound freedom, and we celebrated over ice cream. The previous eight years had been marked with continuous abuse and manipulation, and we struggled with feelings of vulnerability and desperation. Unfortunately, my father’s requisite for malevolence and absolute control was far from over. After his abandonment, a vicious battle ensued within the judicial system. Both of my parents demanded sole custody, and while my mother had pure intentions, my father discernably did not. My mother’s legal fees quickly mounted, and we struggled financially.

    Mckenna, I too wrote about the mindless monster and the negative effects it can have on someone. It's crazy to think about the lengths people will go to please someone and will overwork themselves to make sure others are happy. I believe that the only way to be truly happy is to make sure you're good first. The other aspect I agree with was your point on body language. That is something I need to work on a lot as well.

    181 Words  | 1 Pages

    As I can distinctly remember at age 4, my hurt for not living with my biological parents which was not their fault, but, all because my father’s aunt who had no children decided she wanted to have me live with her. This was a verbal arrangement of adoption, so there was no documentation to prove anything. My hurt was soon dispelled as I grew up realizing that even though they were not my parents, “they were my parents”. Initiative vs. Guilt tells us that, In order for a child to have control over initiative the child must first learn and accept that there are things that are not allowed and things that they will need to be punished for. A child must be free to use their imagination without feelings of guilt or worry of being punished.

Fox (1994) in Johnson and Emunah (2009) states that playback’s attention to process, inclusivity, well- being of the performer as well as the audience makes it different from other forms of familiar forms of theatre in which artistic success of the production is the ultimate goal tha matters (p445). This means that the stories that I had been performing had nothing to do with how the audience members reacted to them, but it was just for entertainment.

    Thousands of Americans live in solitary confinement. This punishment, considered the worst form of imprisonment the American government subjects prisoners to, often drives prisoners mad due to the lack of communication. However, people often ignore the effects of emotional detachment or silence outside of incarceration, especially when carried out by a family member. Fun Home by Alison Bechdel and “Daddy” by Sylvia Plath represent two outcomes, acceptance and unresolved resentment, that may befall a daughter isolated from her father’s affection and approval, foreshadowing the outcome of their lives. These two women’s journeys of grief concluded differently because, unlike Sylvia Plath’s speaker, Alison Bechdel obtained an individuality that
