Spend some time thinking and reflecting on the following two questions. Then answer these thought-provoking questions in as much detail as possible. Write in full sentences, using accurate spelling and punctuation. You should aim for 100+ words for each answer.
Q1 If your parents were not there to support you, what would happen to your family? Who might look after you? What might your role be in helping your family to cope with the situation? Which family member do you think would take the key role in this scenario?
Q2 Do you think it is fair for children to be judged by what their parents or siblings (brothers or sisters) have done? Why or why not? Has this ever happened to you? Describe one of these situations and how you felt about it. If it has not ever happened to you, think about and describe a situation where this could occur and how the person would feel and react.
to always listen to your mum cause she is only doing right things for you i take care of my mum when she needs it like doing the dishes, cleaning the oven, putting the clothes on the line and most of all my mum i always tell my mum everything because between us two we have a bond that we can always trust eathother.
August 14, 2008 @ 2:58 pmyou should always have manners cause when your older you wont have the habit of talking to people with respect always be good to your parent cause all they are tryingt o do is give you a good life and a good education always take pride in what your parents do for you cause some some parents dont give you nothing and you always have to do everything by youself so always be prond to have a parent like that
Q1: I recon if your parents wernt there to support you, your family would fall apart. The kids would be growing up without parents which some children go feral( crazy) and some are sad and just mope there whole life. I recon if your brother or sister were old enough i guess they could look after you. To support your parents you could sit down with them and have a chat about whats going on like talk through all the bad stuff together and come to an agreement. You should live life to its fullest, dont waist time arguing with your family. Your parents are there to help you, to love you and also to educate you for the future so you can be responsible like them.

August 14, 2008 @ 7:20 pmQ1-
If my parents were not there to support my family, my family will be finished like we would not know what to do and my brothers wont know how to take care of my little sisite. The people who will take care of me will be either my nana or my uncles or unties. My role will be to provide money if i had a job or take care of the house when it is dirty. The family member which will take the key role in this scenario would be my older brothers because he takes lots of responsibility of everyone in my family are other people.
Q2-
August 15, 2008 @ 1:47 pmI dont think it is fair to be jugded for what your siblings have done like if your parents were drug addicts i wouldnt go telling people that dont hang around with them because all people are different and if a parents is bad it doesnt mean the child is becausethe child knows from write to wrong if their parents taught them. You should never judge a person if you dont even know them pabably and also this is like never judge a book by its cover.
Question 1
August 15, 2008 @ 1:50 pmIf my parents were not there to suppoort my 2 little brothers and i it would effect the family drastically because i wouldnt be able to support my them finaccially so i would have to send my little 11 year old bro to pearth to go live with his pop and me and i would take my baby brother with me to go live with my nan and pa because i wouldnt want him to go and go live with some strangers because of the stranger danger and because i wouldnt want to mi9ss out on all the things he will learn throught his life and because i love him and i want to bring him uo the right way……<3
Hello Miss T
9C Pre-reading (Part 2) – Bridge to Wiseman’s cove
Question 1
If my parents weren’t there to support me, we have other family members that will take us in. I have an older sister that can take care of us until we are older enough to look after our selves. My role in the family will be to find a job to help with the financial situation, also to help my sister look after my little sister and baby brother. In this situation my older brother and older sister will try to do their best to look after me, sister and brother. My older brother and sister will take on the key role to support us emotionally and financially, as they are the oldest and more responsible.
Question 2
I do not think it’s fair to judge a child by their parents and siblings, because we don’t choose our family and what they do but we can decide how we want to be seem out in the world individually.
August 17, 2008 @ 5:39 pmNo i have not been in a situation like this but i do understand what it must feel like. Say if i had to describe a situation it would be, if someone’s mother got pregnant at the age of 16, people would suspect her daughter to be pregnant at 16yrs old as well. The person would feel ashamed that people think like that, and should prove them wrong.
In my family, my mum does practically everything, she cooks, cleans, washes and tidy’everything to keep our family satisfied.
My dad also because he brings home the money for our family.
If both my parents weren’t here my family would probably fall apart, even though my brother has money and works, he still wont supply the emotional needs that parents have.
It would be very different. We would need to thing about what’s really wise, try not to be selfish, because at times like this we need each other and support each other.
I should be able to take care of my self, but it’s hard to know if it hasn’t happened yet.
August 19, 2008 @ 1:59 pmMy role would probably be something like the person that keeps things organised, I really can’t live a messy lifestyle, if everything going on is out of order it feels like it’s weighing down on me.

The family member that should have the key role in the scenario should be my brother, he is the oldest, he supplies the money and he probably has more understanding of things but also it could be me because I can change my mind when ever I can to the right choice.
August 19, 2008 @ 2:05 pmI dont think a child can be judged by looking at there family because we are all individual. i act like my brother james, our family are a happy family. we always muck around and have fun. some people might live in a bad house hold but they can be happy because they are who they make themself. No i have never been judged badly because im much like my brother. i think if my borther did something bad i would get judged because me and my brother are so much alike but knowing my brother he wouldnt do anything stupid to give him a bad name.

Q1
If my parents whernt here to support me and my family then this is what wuold happen i wuold rely on my self alot more and with depend on my self more. My family wuold need to support each other more untill one is cured. This relates to be becasue my abit becasue my father is not with me anymore wich means i have to look after my self more.
Q2
i think that you cannt judge the child by there family behavior. you no what they say ‘ dont judge a book by its cover’ and everyone is diffrent.
If this happemd it wuold be my father that steals from a shop and when the son walks in they say u have to leave. i wuold be very say and say it wasnt be so dont judge me ****kers.
August 19, 2008 @ 2:06 pmQuestion 2
I don’t think think it’s fair, just because someone in your family did something wrong does not mean their actions reflect on you.
Everyone has their own mind, different personality and think differently, no one is the same.
August 19, 2008 @ 2:13 pmI honestly can’t think of a situation like this that has happened at the moment.
Ok, say if my sister took a big risk and didn’t succeed, and i took the same risk, the people around would probably expect the same result as what my sister got because the people might think just because she is my sister it would be the same.
If this happened to me it would make me feel sad and angry, when I think about the way these people are judging me, it feels like I have to show them that they are wrong because they are judging me negatively.
if my parents werent here to support me and my family
August 19, 2008 @ 2:28 pmmight be alot worse then it is now my role would be trying to get things back to as it was how it use to be before all the stuff happened and just cope with the situation the person that might take the key in this role i wouldnt know who it can be anyone in my family but it depends who takes the role…..
1. if my parents wernt there to support me and my family then i reckon we would fall apart.
August 19, 2008 @ 2:31 pmmy eldest sister would probably be the one who looks after us,
Question 2
I dont think that it is fair for children to be judged on the way thier Parents, siblings or friends act. Because well hypothetically speaking if your mum was a drug addict and everyone new that then they would think that when you grow up that you will be drawn into that crowd because of your mum so they wont hang around with you. If i got put into a situation where i was being judged/ Treated differently because of something my family members did then i would feel really ashamed of my family and i would also wouldnt be very happy with the person/people that are judging me so yeah…. thats why i try not to judge people.
August 19, 2008 @ 3:34 pmquestion 1 continued;
my role in helping the family would probably be minor but yeah;
- house chores
- gotta learn how to cook
ums yerps.
my eldest sister would take the key role.
2. No, i do not think its fair for children being judged by others because of their siblings. Just because your sister or brother has done something bad or wrong or is not as successful doesnt mean your not or cant be, you may be the sophisticated one.
August 21, 2008 @ 2:02 pmNo, this has never happened to me.
but if it was to happen to me i would probably feel sad and angry.
i would be confused and alone… haha?
Q1. If my parents were not here to support me and my siblings, I don’t know what I would do without them. I think we would be really miserable and our family might even fall apart. I can’t imagine my life without them. If my parents are not there, probably my aunty and uncle would look after us. My role is to look after one another, keeping us together. But I don’t know how would I support them cause if have no job, no money and who will I ask. The family member I think would carry on the key role would be my older brother and i because together we make a good team. =D
Q2. No, i don’t think its fair for a child to be judge by what their parents or siblings have done because the child didn’t even do anything wrong, why should they be judge on who they are related to. No, this has not happened to me. If it did i would be ticked cause i didn’t do anything wrong and why should i be judge on that. >.>
