Family Linen 2

I was surprised at the rest of the book. This was a great book to read and I suggest you past it down to others in your family. This story shows a series of patterns in the family passed down from generations before. The children, all competing for love, lost it somewhere as they were growing up because they spent too much time trying to win over Miss Elizabeth. Miss Elizabeth father was a bitter man after the death of her mother and she tried to fill the shoes of her mother. When I finished reading this I wondered how many families are going through the same thing. Family Linen is something that everyone has and is told different everytime. I saw some of my family members in this story and characteristics also. We must understand that harboring bad feelings for love ones or for the people around you can cause damage to your heart. Take for instance the grandfather, when his wife died he became bitter unto his death. He did not die an old man but a bitter man. I am writing a story on my own called the "Unfamiliar Family." It displays most of the problems that Family Linen has. As I look at my family I start to think that most of them are unfamiliar to me. What I mean by this is my mother died and they started taking on traits I know we were not raised on. Because of this, my siblings are unfamiliar people that I don't know. This book gave me more insight to my writings and what to think about when writing. Is there anyone in the class that can add to this?
