2207 Words9 Pages

When people think of someone who matters to them, they normally think of a close relative such as their father or sibling. Not me. Jamie Parnell has made a humongous impact on my life. Without theatre I would not have met him. I definitely would consider him part of my family. Family is somebody who matters to you, cares for you, and loves you. Blood relation does not matter; Jamie is family to me.
Jamie is a very wonderful man who I met almost six years ago. When we first met, he seems so tall compared to me. Almost like a giant, I remember stretching my neck to look up at him. At first, I was afraid of him. He looked stubborn, and it seemed like he did not enjoy to be around children. Granted, I would not have wanted to be around my fifth grade self either. After spending summer after summer with each other, I have grown to not need to stretch my neck to look at him. Jamie smiles a lot more than the first year we met. I am not sure what was going on in his life …show more content…

I was not fortunate enough to be cast in a regular season show during 2015, but I was asked back to run spotlight for Tarzan. I was filled with joy when saw Jamie at the first dress rehearsal of Tarzan. This year was very excluded in my memories, because I was not cast in a show. The short four weeks of Tarzan zoomed by and theatre camp along with it. Both lined up to happen at the same time. Luckily, Jamie was also involved in theatre camp. It was a very different year for me. I regret not making as many memories as I could with Jamie, so at the spur of the moment, I convinced my mom to let me go watch Steel Magnolias, the last show of the 2015 lineup. Jamie was working as stage manager, and I was sure to make it known that I got to say my goodbye this year. I waited around as the house, or audience, cleared until Jamie came out. We took a picture to last forever and hugged as we said “See ya later” to each

I was glad to find out that for the second play that I was required to attend was already picked out for me. I went and saw Gypsy production put together at Harper College on Sunday November 14th 2015. Similar to Rocky Horror Picture Show I didn’t have a clue as to what this play was going to be about or what to expect. I had never even been to the performing arts center before but to my surprise it was very nice in there. This play was actually pretty believable with the mom wanting her daughter to be a star and her providing the best to her ability.

Family may not seem like a huge deal to some people and some generations, but there is not one simple definition of what family is. One can say that a family is a group of people that share a certain bond. During slavery, family meant everything, and family is all that the slaves had, unless their masters separated them because they knew family meant the world to the slaves. In the narrative of the life of Olaudah Equiano, Equiano’s bond with his sister was exceedingly cherished. In the narrative of Harriet Jacobs, Jacobs’ children was all she had.

The play was Our American Cousin at Ford’s Theatre. I remember being so excited to go because I absolutely loved going to plays… Not anymore though.

When you think of family you might think of adults and their children, or kids who lost their parents but are still related to each other. The Outsiders by S.E Hinton tells otherwise. It shows that even if you are not related, you can still be family; you can still have love and affection for each other. In the book, there is a contradiction between the gang’s biological family and their “family”. There is connection shown between the greasers from the Socs in the blue Mustang to Johnny dying in the hospital not wanting to see his mother.

“Family” is a hard word to create a concrete definition for. If one were to ask three random people on the street, it is likely they will receive three completely different answers to defining a family. The textbook definition of family according to the etymology dictionary is: “Origin in early 15c. “servants of a household” from Latin familia “family servants, domestics collectively, the servants in a household.” The traditional dictionary describes family in a more narrow fashion stating, “a basic social unit consisting of parents and their children, considered as a group, whether dwelling together or not.”

Families have many different ways they could be defined. I would describe my family as being blended. My brother has a different father than me, and he is still considered family. This aspect is important in my concept of family because even if I do not talk to them everyday, I still have this connection where they will support the decisions that I want to make even if it is not an opinion that everyone agrees with. On the contrary, there is definitely diversity by having a blended family, especially since they have been a part of most of my life.
