Families
  My experiences with family cultures and traditions are quite good. My family cares for me. They help me if I need it. They try to, anyway. They buy me things and show me that they love me. They do things for me and take very good care of me. Families are supposed to be like that so you know they care about you. Roald Dahl's family cared for him too.

Roald's family was very caring. His mother sent him to the best schools, and showed him that she cared for him. Once, when Roald's sister was driving, they had an accident, and Roald's nose was almost cut off. His mother was calm, and she wasn't panicky. I think that that's a very clever way to handle something like that. His mother also kept all of the letters he sent her. That was very thoughtful of her, and it let Roald know that she cared. Families in Vietnam are an interesting subject.

My subject for the paragraph of research is Vietnamese families. The ways of a Vietnamese family are interesting. It says that in a Vietnamese household, there are usually three generations living in the same house, which sometimes happens in America. The eldest male will usually be in charge. That's how it is sometimes in America too, but not in Roald Dahl's case. His mother was in charge. When their children become the ages of 5 or 6, the parents start being more strict. We here in America do that too. When the oldest son is of age, he will inherit the family household. That usually doesn't happen in America. Americans move out usually when they are old enough, which is 18 years of age.

The Vietnamese culture is quite different from ours, but some things stay the same. We all care for each other, and look after each other. We teach each other important things, like respect, and manners. Vietnam might have different points of views from us, but generally, it's basically the same. Many things about family in the world are.
