The Inability to Make Meaningful Human Connections


This to me seems like a heartless person,Beatrice showed nothing but hatred towards everyone she ever encountered. She laid around in her be full of sorry as if she had lost everything. The only time Beatrice would interact with the children was to get something in return or to make fun of them or put them down. The core of the person has rotted out and its been like that for quite a long time.

Dreams


Dreams to me are just unrealistic things that people think about. set realistic goals and strive to be the best you can be not what would be amazing or the easy way. The dreams of people can be reach but also with some peoples success comes failure. In the story Tillie show the heart and desire that everyone needs to reach goals, she put for the up most effort to do well and thrived at it. Even with her mom trying to pull her down every chance that she got.
