Where I m From
I am from my baby rocking chair, from coors light and white wine.
I am from the long driveway and the leafy grove in the front yard.
I am from the fragrant orange trees, the majestic pomegranate trees, and the lush avocado trees.
I am from weekend trips to Punta Colonet enjoying the sun with my parents and a long lineage of blonde hair and blue eyes which skipped me, from Ron Rosol and M’linda Williams.
I am from the carefree lifestyle and vigilant behavior. From “Love you more” and “I’m going to give you until the count of three.”
I am from the scattered bibles, barbeques and pasta salad.
I am from the pictures hung on the refrigerator with assorted magnets, the pictures placed around the house, and the photo albums locked away in cabinets to be forgotten.
~Mallory Rosol

    Outline and Evaluate the Strange Situations

    Based on these observations, Ainsworth concluded that there were three major styles of attachment: secure attachment, ambivalent-insecure attachment, and avoidant-insecure attachment. Researchers Main and Solomon (1986) added a fourth attachment style known as disorganized-insecure attachment. Numerous studies have supported Ainsworth's conclusions and additional research has revealed that these early attachment styles can help predict behaviours later in life.…

    Alecia Physical Development

    It has often been asked if the attachment styles with partners reflect the attachment styles with parents. Of the three attachment styles Alecia is reported to have an avoidant attachment style.

    Theories Of Attachment Styles

    Humans are social beings and need to be with others and form relationships but our relationship behaviors do not "come naturally" and they need to be learned similar to other social skills (Schneider, Gruman & Coutts, 2005, p.77). Many psychologists argue that the kind of relationships infants have with their primary caregivers is the blueprint for the later life relationships (Schneider, Gruman & Coutts, 2005). Behaviors in adult relationships' are influenced by the kinds of relationships and attachments they have experienced in their early years with their primary caregivers. This is the basic perspective of the theory of attachment styles that claims that the kind of bonds we form early in life influence…

    Secure Attachment Style Analysis

    I find myself as a secure attachment style. When I feel vulnerable to injury, I will seek comfort and support from my parents, family members, and loved ones. Oppositely, when my loved ones encounter problems, I am willing to provide them comfort and support. I think that my adult attachment style is related to my parents and my family greatly. I am twins and have a brother that born one minute before me. My father worked a lot when we were little. My parents were afraid that they could not take care of two babies at the same time, so they decided that one of us will be living with our grandmother and uncle’s family from my mother’s side; we would switch every one week. I think that my parents made this decision so they could take care one…

In the first stanza the poet starts like introducing us in the text, explaining us the meaning of ‘’people are made of places’’, this means that all we are made of memories, places where we come from, we carry with us memories of smells, places, flavors, anecdotes from where we come from. After the poet introduce us in the text she starts talking about her present, she describes a normal day in the city where she lives, She describes the city using senses. She uses olfactory when she talks about the typical smells of the city, like smell of smog or almost-not smell of tulips in the spring.

Then she continues describing the smell of the city, she mention the smell of work, glue factory smell, chromium-plated offices.

Gunn Allen shows examples of the menstrual cycle.

Woman had a natural power that can indulge and overpower these men and therefore caused them to fear Indian woman potential. Indian woman suffered from the cultural conflicts caused by having to classify with differences of two opposing cultural definitions of women.…
