Well, actually only one small part of this entry stuck with me. <br /><br />"She calls herself an orphan despite the fact that her father is still alive, which I'm pretty sure makes her NOT AN ORPHAN." <br /><br />A child in an orphanage is an orphan. Despite the fact that its "parents" may still be alive. I do not like using that word when it comes to orphans. Giving life to a human being does not a parent make. Giving life is the easiest thing people do. It is an animal instinct. Every animal in the animal kingdom procreates.<br /><br />What makes a parent a parent is raising that child. Loving that child, protecting that child. Just because her "father" helped create her does not make him her father. He abandoned her. And had not had contact with his children since Cheryl was six. That is not a father. That is no more than a glorified sperm donor. <br /><br />When her mother died she did in fact become an orphan. The fact that you aren't able to comprehend that shows that you lack compassion. Do you go telling children who grow up in orphanages all around the world that they are not orphans because their parents are still alive? <br /><br />I am an orphan. I lived in an orphanage. And despite the fact that I was adopted that does not change the fact that I was and will always be an orphan. Despite the fact that after 25 years I found that the woman who gave me life was still alive doe not make me any less of an orphan. <br /><br />So before saying someone is not an orphan, stop and think. There are many ways people become orphans and death is not the only way.

I remember thinking, "a real hiker would've cannibalize the remaining boot for the laces" and other helpful items necessary if you find yourself with a daunting potential of hiking barefoot. For that matter, keep the boot and in case one of your sandals blows out.

I do remember there being occasional passages - maybe five pages total - that I would call promising, if not exactly brilliant - but since most of these are, as I said, toward the end of the book, it's possible that my brain was so desensitized at that point that occasional flashes of competence could pass for something like talent.Truth Unleashedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09793982086613109484noreply@blogger.com
