Please review the following essay assignment before completing this discussion board:

Topic 1: Gone But Not Forgotten

 

Thesis: Why do loved ones have to die? Compartmentalizing one’s feelings grieving over a loved and maintaining normalcy in your life is a challenge faced by many. It can be especially hard for children to understand what they are feeling and why.

Three descriptive factors:

· Feelings of sadness because you miss the physical presence

· Feelings of helplessness because this is something that cannot be reversed or repaired

· Feelings of anger because you want answers – Why did this happen?

 

Topic 2: Mom, How many hours are there in YOUR day?

Thesis: I do not know about you, but, my mom does the most on a day to day basis. So much so that I wonder if she is subject to the same 24 hours that the rest of us are in one day. It seems that she would need at least 35 – 40 hours to get everything done. Did Professor McGonagall give her a time turner?

Three descriptive factors:

· Works full time, goes to college part time, takes care of two children, cooking, cleaning, kids activities

· Goes to bed after I do and wakes up before I do each day – Does she actually sleep?

· Never misses appointments, remembers kids schedules – How does she remember when my sister last took a shower?
