Describe Hope's relationship with her mother? Does her attitude toward her mother change throughout the story? Show examples of the good things her mother does for her, as well as the things that frustrate Hope.
Hope has a very weird relationship with her mom. She doesn't really like her mom but at the same time she does. Hope's attitude towards her mom changes throughout the book. Before the book started, Hope took on boxing to get out aggression about her mom. When Hope's Mom visited Hope in Wisconsin, Hope was annoyed at her mom, but she gets a little less agitated towards her mom as time goes on. Some good things Hope's Mom did for Hope was that she gave her tips on how to be a good waitress, also, she gave Hope to someone who would care better for her. Some bad things Hope's Mom did for Hope was giving her to Addie, also, when she visited Hope in Wisconsin, she treated Hope like Hope was a normal waitress instead of her daughter.
Hope's relationship with her mother is complicated. On one hand, Hope loves her mom but on the other, Hope wishes she was someone she wasn't. The best thing her mother did for Hope was to give her waitressing tips. Hope takes the tips to heart, showing that she listens to what her mom says, even though many things her mom does frustrates Hope. The most frustrating thing her mother did was name Hope 'Tulip'. Hope hated the name, and was relieved when Addie allowed her to change it. Just like her name, Hope's feelings toward her mom changed through the book. When she was eleven, Hope boxed to get out her anger at her mom for leaving her with Addie. Later, Hope realizes that the well is dry and Deena won't ever be the mom she wants. When her mom shows up unexpectedly in Wisconsin, feelings resurface, but Hope gets though it with the help of a red clown nose. Hope realizes that her mom may not be perfect, but she's family. You may get to pick your friends, but you're stuck with family and all of their shortcomings.
I think that Hope has a very weak relationship with her mother. She doesn't see her very often and they don't seem to get along very well. I think that the best thing Hope's mother did for her was showing her how to be a good waitress and how to make people happy and treat them with respect. I think another good thing Hope's mother did for her was giving her to Addie because she could not have taken care of her and Hope's life would be even more miserable. I think a bad thing Hope's mother did for her was naming her Tulip because that name does not fit hope at all. She also treated Hope like a waitress and not how a mother should treat her daughter.
The relationship between Hope and her mom is very different. Hope loves her mom and dislikes her at the same time. Hope's attitude toward her mom changes throughout the story, but her attitude is mostly negative when it comes to her mom. Hope's mom naming her Tulip, and still calling her Tulip, was a frustrating part of Hope's life. Another thing that frustrated Hope was when her mom came to Wisconsin and treated Hope like she would treat a waitress and not like her daughter she hasn't seen in a long time. Hope's mom gave her tips and helpful hints on being a good waitress, which helped Hope a lot. Hope's mom gave Hope to Addie, which was good because without Addie Hope's life would be a wreck.
Hopes relationship with her mom is awkward at best. Her mom abandoned her, but she wouldn't have been a good mother, and Hope likes living with Addie. I don't think Hope knows how to connect with her mother because they hardly ever see each other.
The relationship between Hope and her Mom is always changing. Hope likes her mom for giving her tips for being a waitress and sometimes coming to visit her. But Hope is having a hard time forgiving her for giving her up at birth and for naming her Tulip. Her mom is still getting over her daughter changing her name to Hope. In the story you get the idea that Hope's mom is not a very good mom. Hope's mom doesn't visit her that often so sometimes they have a hard time socializing and getting along because they are very different.
Hope’s view on Deena does change throughout the story. At first, she kept wishing her mother would have been better, and been more present in her life. But by the end of the book, you started to see her realize, and accept that her mother is who she is, and that she was not going to change. Her mother always had great tips on waitressing, and I noticed Hope use all of her mother’s secret techniques. Her mother was a great waitress, and had so much to say there, but she was not a great mother. She did not fulfill the standards she needed to; she only showed up a handful of times in Hope’s life, “Everytime with a different color hair.” Hope struggled with the facts a long time, but she finally realized she already had the best parents someone could ask for: Addie and G.T., along with the other diner crew.
Hope doesn't have the best relationship with her mom. Hope loves her mom for teaching her all of her tips for waitressing. At the same time, though, she frustrates Hope. For example, she named Hope Tulip, she can't stand the name, and Hope hates that she is never around when all she needs is her real mom. Their relationship changes throughout the course of the book. At first hope wishes that her mom would visit her more, and raise her like a normal family. Eventually, she realizes her mom is who she is and that she can't be changed.
Hope's relationship with her mother isn't very healthy. Hope's mother isn't really involved with Hope's life and barely ever sees her. Hope's attitude towards her mother didn't really change throughout the story. I don't think hates her mother, I think she doesn't really have any feelings for her. Her mother is good to her sometimes. She does try to visit and she gives her tips for waitressing. Hope's mother does frustrate her sometimes though. I think the main thing is when Hope's mom calls Hope Tulip, the name her mother gave her.
The relationship between Hope and her mother isn't very close. At the beginning of the story Hope isn't to fond of her mother because of a couple things. One is naming her Tulip and two is leaving her with Addie. But when she comes to visit Hope, she doesn't say much about her life or herself, she only leaves a couple of tips for being a waitress and leaves. But at the end of the book, Hope has a deeper understanding for the choices Deena made, even if she disproved them. An example of a good choice Deena made for Hope was giving her to Addie when she couldn't care for Hope herself. A bad decision she made that frustrated Hope was giving her the name Tulip. Hope didn't like the name from the start so she was glad that she was allowed to change it. Hope's mom has had an impact on Hope's life that has changed it forever.
I think that Hopes relationship with her mother is very weak because she always complains about how her mother was a better waitress than a mom. Throughout the story Hope's attitude towards her mother changes. At the beginning of the book she states all of the things her mother has taught her over the years, such as the customer is always right. At the end of the story Hope realizes that waitressing is more important that she is to her mother. Some things that Hope's mother did for her is teaching her about how to treat other people through statements she would make about waitressing. For example, the three hard and fast rules to waitressing, the Customer is always right, the cook is alway right and if they disagree, you will never settle it and your tip is history. Things that her mother does to frustrate her is that she kept calling her Tulip even though she legally changed her name to Hope. .
Hopes relationship with her mother is always changing. Sometimes she will look up to her mom and think about how good of a waitress she is and use her tips. But, in the begging of the book Hope would box to get her feelings out about her mom. Hope's mom has done some good things for Hope like giving her waitress tips but has also done some not so good things. One of those things is leaving her alone with her aunt for her life and naming her Tulip with Hope hated and eventually changed her name to Hope.
Hope's relationship with her mom isn't very fortunate. Mostly at the beginning of the book, Hope doesn't understand all the choices her mother had made for her. For an example she didn't understand why she named her Tulip. She thought it was too vague and wanted a new name to represent her better. She also didn't like the decision she made to leave her, she wanted to know her mom better and see her more than just three times in her life period. Another thing she didn't understand was that her mom wanted her to stay constant, but her mom told her that while constantly changing her hair color, which was not a good way to teach her to stay constant. Closer to the end of the book, Hope begins to realize the decisions that her mother made for her. Like, leaving her with Addie. By leaving her with Addie, she had become more aware of different towns, became more wise, and became something she took after her mother, a waitress. She began taking after her mother's notes at a new town they moved to, and gladly changed her name to Hope, which was a name that fit her better. By understanding her mother's choices her life was very impacted and changed.
Hope's relationship with her mother is kind of a grey area. Hope doesn't hate her, but she doesn't love her all that much either. She shows some coldness towards her mother in the beginning, but warms up to her eventually. Her mother sacrificed the chance at living with her daughter so she could have a good life, and I kind of respect her for that. She also taught her how to be a good waitress. Hope was bitter towards her mom because she decided to leave her. Another thing that annoys Hope is that her mom gave her the name Tulip.
Hope has a very confusing relationship with her mother. She loves her mother, but at the same time she doesn't always feel that way. The best thing her mother ever does for her is give her waitressing tips. When she gets those tips she takes them very seriously and to heart. Also, her mother cares about Hope a lot. Hope's mom upset her in a lot of ways too. Hope's mother made Hope so upset that she would have to box to get her feelings out. One more thing that bugs Hope about her mother is that she named her Tulip. Towards the end of the book Hope starts to understand her mom more and realizes why she made the decisions that she made. I think that Hope likes her mom a lot more at the end of the book than she did at the beginning of the book.
Hopes relationship with her mother is one that changes and is hard to understand. Hope thinks Tulip is a stupid name so with Addie’s permission she changed on her 12th birthday. It annoys her that her mom still calls her Tulip. She likes it when her mom gives her tips on waitressing, like how to get a bigger tip. Hope doesn’t respect her mom as much because she walked out on her when she was born and so Addie could raise her. Another reason that their relationship is weird is because Hope used to be mad that her mom didn’t care about her but when she came to visit, Hope didn’t want to see her. Hope and her mom’s relationship is not very healthy.
In my opinion, Hope has a very strange relationship with her mother. Her attitude changes within the story, Each thing that bothers her about her mother is also something that gives her opportunities to learn something or fix something.For example: hope is mad at her mother for just up and leaving her, but she's grateful that she was left with Addie. She is mad that her mother never comes to see her, but when she does, she doesn't want to talk to her. She's upset that her mother never taught her anything like mothers are supposed to do, but knows she needs the waitressing advice that she does get every so often. And the name her mother have her, tulip, it was an awful name, but if she didn't want to change her name, she wouldn't have taken on the great responsibility of being called hope, and she wouldn't have strived to live up to it. To sum it up, if Hopes mother wasn't such a bad mother, Hope would not be such a good person.
Hope's mother abandoned her as a baby to the care of Aunt Addie. In her first twelve years of life, Hope and Addie moved from town to town because Addie kept looking for a job. Addie was a waitress and cook, and Hope's mother was a waitress. During all this time, the only contact Hope had with her mother was through letters. Hope's mother would write to give advice about how to be a good waitress and get a lot of tips. Hope was generally angry with her mother because she had run out on her. On top of that, she had originally named Hope "Tulip," a name Hope thought was ridiculous. In fact, Hope chose her own name when she was twelve. She chose "Hope" because it had a real meaning, one that she could relate to. When Hope and Addie move to Mulhoney, WI, Hope's mother comes to see her. Hope tries to avoid her, but finally gives in and agrees to talk to her. Hope cannot get over the years that her mother had little or nothing to do with her. The visit does nothing for their relationship, and Hope is glad when her mother leaves.
Hope’s relationship with her mother is indifferent. I feel like Hope doesn’t like her mom because she doesn’t treat Hope like her own daughter. She is very disappointed in her mother but she still hopes that someday her mom will change. Hope’s attitude doesn’t really change with her mother throughout the book but as Hope becomes stronger and more confident, she seems less focused the mother she wished she would’ve had. The best thing Hope’s mom did for her was to leave her with Addie. Addie cared for Hope like her own daughter. Hope’s mom also gave her good advice about being a waitress which came in handy Stairways Diner. Hope was frustrated by her birth name Tulip, by all of the different men her mom had in her life, and that she was always talking about the past.
Hope's mother is not a really a mother figure to her and doesn't even deserve to be called her mother because to me a mother is someone who loves you and would do anything for you and to me Addie is way more motherly to Hope than her biological mother ever will be. Throughout the whole story her attitude doesn't necessarily change to much right from the beginning I think she knows that she doesn't need her when she has Addie and being a waitress. Hope has some things to me great full for like the fact that she gave her to Addie and that she gives her such great waitress tips when she does visit her every few years. Her mother also did many things that frustrates Hope such as naming her Tulip in the first place, then not really visiting her throughout her life. It doesn't really matter that her mother is not in her life because Addie loves her and cars for her in place of her absent mother.
I thought that Hope and her mother had a very different and definitely strange relationship. Hope loves her mother but hates her at times as well. Most of the book Hope didn't understand why her mother did the things she did. Some good things about Hopes mom is that she taught her very good things but at times Hope felt like her mom was a better waitress than a loving mother. Hopes mother didn't really visit her at all, very little time spent with her mom so I can see why she feels the way she feels about her mom. Another bad affect that her mom had on her is her name. Hope never liked her birth name, Tulip, and she didn't understand the point to her name so she changed it when Addie gave her permission to. But, a good thing that Hopes mom gave her is waitress tips. I think Hope really did love her mother but just didn't know her very well.
I think there relationship isn’t bad but it isn’t very strong. They first of all rarely see each other and when they do see each other they don’t talk very much. I understand that her mom was not ready to be a mother and gave her to her sister, but not making an effort now to be more like her mom is not very understandable. I think the attitude toward her mother changed as Hope got older because she didn’t care as much about the things her mother did that frustrated her. Her mother gives her inspiration to be a good waitress and waitressing tips as the good things. The bad things are naming her Tulip, and not being there for her as she grew older.
I think the relationship between Hope and her mom is not very strong and is also complicated. At one point in the book Hopes mom comes to visit her and Hope seems like she hates her and doesn't want to see her. When her mom comes in the diner she walks in sits down and doesn't say anything. Hope does not seem happy to see her. She was always frustrated with her because she named her tulip and left her with her aunt. Once she and Hope start talking she doesn't say anything about her life or how she's doing. She only gives a few tips to Hope about being a good waitress. Although Hope is normally frustrated with her mom she always takes her waitressing tips to heart.
Hope and her Mother Deena are not as close as a mother and daughter should be. In Deena's eyes, Hope is more of an acquaintance than a daughter. Hope has little respect for her mother and is upset that she didn't have that mother-figure in her life, but has learned to accept it. Hope is suppose to love her mother when really the only feelings she has for her are frustration. For example, she left Hope with her aunt as a baby and rarely sees her. Also she named her Tulip and who can blame her for being frustrated with a name like Tulip! Having Deena as a mother hasn't been all bad, she does give Hope very useful waitressing tips because as Hope says, "she is a better waitress than a mom." I do believe that over the course of the book that Hopes attitude towards her mother does change. Before she was frustrated and confused about why her mother had to be so horrible and leave her like that but now she sees it is kind of how it is meant to be and if her mother wouldn't have done those things that she might not have been blessed with the life that she is living now.
Hope and her mother's bond is a very unique mother and daughter relationship. First of all, saying that Hope doesn't live with her mom, makes it even more difficult. Hope and her mom bond together with their jobs as waitressing, giving Hope advice and integrity. Something that gets better throughout their relationship is Hope's name. Her mom, named Hope, Tulip. Hope didn't like her name and wanted to change it. Hope ended up going from Tulip to Hope and her mom didn't support the name change and still continued to call her Tulip. When her mom had called her Tulip, Hope corrected her. Later, her mom calls her Hope. Hope's attitude towards her mom does change in a positive way.
During the first part in the book Deena and Hope have a better connection then more towards the end. In the beginning of the story. The only thing they have is that they are both waitresses and that Deena was the one who named Hope in the beginning. Throughout the story they lose the connection by first Deena doesn't want to have to raise a child gives her to her sister Addie. When Hope was 16 she asked Addie if she could change her name which her real mother gave her. She did do some good things for her though. Deena made the right decision to give her to Addie because she couldn't give Hope a good life. She still loves her even if she did give her away. Hope still has a positive attitude towards her mother though throughout the story.
Hope doesn't have a strong bond with er her mother. Towards the end Hope's connection with her mother improves. For example before the book Hope would box to get out anger toward her mother. Hope's mother also named her Tulip which she didn't like cause it made her feel like her name doesn't correspond with who she is. When Hope was waitressing her she treated Hope like a normal everyday waitress instead of her daughter. Later in the story Hope's mom came to Wisconsin and made Hope angry at the beginning but later on she gave Hope waitressing tips and they started to get along more.
When Deena left Hope and gave her to Addie their relationship immediately turned sour. They have a very odd relationship and have only seen each other 4 times throughout Hope’s life. Deena is a very unpredictable person and would not be a good parent or role model for Hope. When Deena comes to visit Hope she mostly talks about herself and being a waitress. Deena does not do many good things for Hope but she does do some such as leaving Hope with Addie. It is good that she left her with Addie instead of putting Hope up for adoption. Also she does give Hope good tips about being a waitress, so that helps Hope to be even better at her job. Another good thing that she did for Hope was actually calling her Hope. When Deena comes to meet Hope at the diner she calls Hope by her new name instead of Tulip. This shows that she respects Hope’s choices enough to call her by her new name. Deena also does many things that frustrate Hope, such as leaving Hope in the hospital when she was dying while Addie stayed by her side and helped her survive. Another thing that really frustrates Hope, is not knowing who her father is. One of Hope’s dreams is to know her dad but her mother isn't even trying to find out who he is and that kills Hope. Another thing that frustrates Hope is when Deena comes to the diner she acts as if Hope isn't here daughter, but just another waitress.
Things didn't start off on the right foot for Hope and her mother. When her mother left her in a blink of an eye Hope hated her mom. Her mom visited her a few times which wasn't always the best time for Hope but she did appreciate it because her mom would always give her a few new waitress tips which Hope used. Hope later on learns that her mother does really love her a lot, but she struggles at showing it. Hope always claims her mom is a better waitress than a mother. She realizes she tries her best though towards the end and appreciates it.
The relationship between Hope and Deena is not the typical mother daughter relationship. It seems strange and unnatural, especially in the beginning of the book. To start off, Deena measured herself as unfit for parenting and gave Hope to Deena's sister Addie. One thing that Hope and Deena have in common is waitressing, in which Deena gives good advice to Hope. Deena visited her once at the diner and treated her as a waitress and not as her own daughter, which seemed strange. Deena would call Hope, Tulip, her original first name that she did not like. Because of this strained relationship, Hope felt frustrated, baffled, and confused. By the end of the book I think Hope understands Deena left her with Addie because she would have a better life.
I don't think Hope and her mom have a very strong relashionship. Hope has mixed feelings twords her, because sometimes she loves her and sometimes she hates her. I think part of the reason why they don't have a very strong relashionship is because Deena left her. Her mom gave her tips on how to be a good waitress. When Deena met Hope she called her by her changed name, which meant she has respect twords Hopes decisions. I think Hope doesn't realize how much her mom actually does love her, but twords the end starts to understand.
Hope and her mothers relationship is a bit different. Hope loves her mom, but her mom left Hope. That makes it hard for Hope to love her because that means they didn't see each other when Hope was growing up and that's a key part in a mother daughter relationship. The only way it changed was for the worse. Hope's mom, Deena, visited the diner in Wisconsin and didn't treat her like her own daughter. Plus, she kept calling Hope by her old name Tulip, which frustrates Hope because she told her mom not to call her that. A good thing that her mom did for her was give her waitressing tips. Those tips really helped Hope.
Hope has a different relationship with her mom because she hardly knows her. She doesn't really know how to feel about her mom because she doesn't know if she should love her or hate her which makes it hard for her to have her mom around. Her mom still calls her tulip and this frustrates Hope because her new name is Hope and she wants her mom to call her that. Hope also doesn't like the way her mom left her and never visited. One thing Hope did like about her mom was she gave her good waitressing tips that she wrote down in a journal and used while waitressing. I think Hope wanted to have her mom around a little more while she was growing up to help her on her way.
Hope has a very unique relationship with her mother. At a very young age Hope was left with her aunt (Addie), and no sense of knowing where her mother was going or how this decision would affect her life. Throughout the story, Hope begins to mature and realizes how not having a mother can affect you. When she does visit she gives her daughter waitressing tips that come in handy when Hope is in a jam. Although still calling her Tulip really frustrates Hope and the way she thinks about her mom.
The relationship between Hope and her mother is very weak. Hope loves her mom, but at the same time she doesn't love her because she does not know her that well. Hope's attitude changes throughout the book. For example, at the beginning Hope boxed to get her anger out about her mom. When Hope's mom visited in Wisconsin, Hope was still mad at her mom. She got a little less agitated towards her mom as time progressed. Hope got some good tips from her mom for waitressing. For instance, how the customers and cooks are always right, always carry ibuprofen and keep lime wedges under the counter to save time. Also, Deena gave Hope to Addie, because she knew Addie could take better care of Hope. Some things that frustrated Hope were how her mom named her Tulip when she was born and how her mom just treats her like a normal waitress, instead of her daughter.
I think Hopes relationship with her mother stays the same throughout the book. Her relationship isn't very good with her mother anyway. It started off on the wrong foot when her mother named her Tulip. Another thing she didn't like is when she came in to the diner and didn't act like she was Hope's mother. While in the diner though she gave her tips that she likes. Such as, to always keep a bottle of aspirin with her and to keep lemons under the counter. Hope also didn't like that her mother gave her to Addie and didn't raise her. All and all, the relationship between Hope and her mother is bumpy
I think that Hope and her mother’s relationship is an odd relationship. Hope’s mom left Hope with Addie at birth, which isn't the best start. Also Hope's mom visits rarely, but Hope still loves her. Also Hope hated the birth name that her mom gave her (Tulip). One of the most sacred things Hope’s mom gave her were tips on being a good waitress. Overall their relationship started off bad and never really got better.
I think that Hope and her mother don’t have a very strong relationship, but throughout the book their relationship gets stronger. When Hope was little she boxed to get her anger out towards her mom. Hope also changed her birth name, Tulip, when she was twelve. But what made their bond stronger was when her mom gave her advice on waitressing and on her last visit accepted that Hope had changed her name from Tulip. Even though Hope and her mom didn't have a strong bond I think Hope still loved her mom.
The relationship between Hope and and her mother is a strange one. Sometimes Hope loves her mother than other times she does not. In the very beginning of the book Hope hates her mom and has very much anger towards her. It started off bad to when her mother named her Tulip. Even when Hope mom came to visit her she acted like she didn't know Hope. They bonded though when Hopes mom gave her waitressing tips. Towards the end of the book Hope came to love her mom again.
Hope and her mother have a weak relationship. Sometimes they get along and sometimes Hope just wants her to leave. Hope likes her mothers waitressing skills. She does not like her mothering skills though. Hope does not like her mother because of the name she gave her, "Tulip". When Hopes mother first came into the restaurant she acted like she didn't know her daughter. In the end Hope changed the way she thought of her mom and I think that she loves her now.
Hope and her mother have a shaky relationship. Hopes attitude toward her mother didn't change much throughout the story. Hope is frustrated with her mother for calling her tulip when her name is Hope. Her mother gives good tips for waitressing. But most of all she cares enough to visit her daughter.
I don't think Hope has much of a relationship with her mother. One thing that really bothers Hope is when Deena calls her Tulip. Her mother gives amazing tips to Hope which helps her be the waitress she is now. The hate Hope has towards her mother is from leaving her. In the end Hope realizes why her mom gave her to Addie and wanted her to have good life which Deena couldn't give her at the time.
The relationship with Hope and her mother Deena is very difficult. Hope wants her to come back but at the same time she just wants her to stay away. Hope's attitude changes throughout the story, but her attitude towards her mom stays pretty much the same, which is usually frustration. Deena left Hope with Addie when Hope was just a baby. She also named her Tulip which Hope hated and changed her name to Hope. Deena did do some good things that Hope liked. One of those is giving her tips to become a good waitress. Hope is starting to realize that leaving her with Addie was probably for the best for both of them. Also Hope realized that her mother isn't like the mother she hoped she would be but, she is family and you are stuck with them.
i think Hope has a weak relationship with her mom. She only sees her mom so often and when she does come to visit it Hope, Hope gets nervous. some of the good things hopes mom did for her was tell her how to be a good waitress and how to treat the people she is serving. Also she gave Hope to Addie because Hopes mom could not have taken care of Hope and her self. One of the worst things Hopes mom did was treat her like a waitress and not her daughter.
The relationship between Hope and her mother is very strange. Sometime Hope doesn't like her mom but sometimes she does. When her mother came to visit her in Wisconsin, she is annoyed by her. Hope is less annoyed as the book goes on. One way her mom has helped is giving her advice on how to be a good waitress. Although her mom was mean at times, she was also nice at times and if I were Hope i would fell the same way.

Hope takes the tips to heart, showing that she listens to what her mom says, even though many things her mom does frustrates Hope. The most frustrating thing her mother did was name Hope 'Tulip'.

ReplyDeleteI think that Hope has a very weak relationship with her mother. She doesn't see her very often and they don't seem to get along very well. I think that the best thing Hope's mother did for her was showing her how to be a good waitress and how to make people happy and treat them with respect.

I think a bad thing Hope's mother did for her was naming her Tulip because that name does not fit hope at all. She also treated Hope like a waitress and not how a mother should treat her daughter.
ReplyDeleteThe relationship between Hope and her mom is very different. Hope loves her mom and dislikes her at the same time. Hope's attitude toward her mom changes throughout the story, but her attitude is mostly negative when it comes to her mom. Hope's mom naming her Tulip, and still calling her Tulip, was a frustrating part of Hope's life. Another thing that frustrated Hope was when her mom came to Wisconsin and treated Hope like she would treat a waitress and not like her daughter she hasn't seen in a long time. Hope's mom gave her tips and helpful hints on being a good waitress, which helped Hope a lot. Hope's mom gave Hope to Addie, which was good because without Addie Hope's life would be a wreck.
ReplyDeleteHopes relationship with her mom is awkward at best. Her mom abandoned her, but she wouldn't have been a good mother, and Hope likes living with Addie. I don't think Hope knows how to connect with her mother because they hardly ever see each other.
ReplyDeleteThe relationship between Hope and her Mom is always changing. Hope likes her mom for giving her tips for being a waitress and sometimes coming to visit her. But Hope is having a hard time forgiving her for giving her up at birth and for naming her Tulip. Her mom is still getting over her daughter changing her name to Hope. In the story you get the idea that Hope's mom is not a very good mom. Hope's mom doesn't visit her that often so sometimes they have a hard time socializing and getting along because they are very different.
ReplyDeleteHope’s view on Deena does change throughout the story. At first, she kept wishing her mother would have been better, and been more present in her life. But by the end of the book, you started to see her realize, and accept that her mother is who she is, and that she was not going to change. Her mother always had great tips on waitressing, and I noticed Hope use all of her mother’s secret techniques. Her mother was a great waitress, and had so much to say there, but she was not a great mother. She did not fulfill the standards she needed to; she only showed up a handful of times in Hope’s life, “Everytime with a different color hair.” Hope struggled with the facts a long time, but she finally realized she already had the best parents someone could ask for: Addie and G.T., along with the other diner crew.
ReplyDeleteHope doesn't have the best relationship with her mom. Hope loves her mom for teaching her all of her tips for waitressing. At the same time, though, she frustrates Hope. For example, she named Hope Tulip, she can't stand the name, and Hope hates that she is never around when all she needs is her real mom. Their relationship changes throughout the course of the book. At first hope wishes that her mom would visit her more, and raise her like a normal family. Eventually, she realizes her mom is who she is and that she can't be changed.
ReplyDeleteHope's relationship with her mother isn't very healthy. Hope's mother isn't really involved with Hope's life and barely ever sees her. Hope's attitude towards her mother didn't really change throughout the story. I don't think hates her mother, I think she doesn't really have any feelings for her. Her mother is good to her sometimes. She does try to visit and she gives her tips for waitressing. Hope's mother does frustrate her sometimes though. I think the main thing is when Hope's mom calls Hope Tulip, the name her mother gave her.
ReplyDeleteThe relationship between Hope and her mother isn't very close. At the beginning of the story Hope isn't to fond of her mother because of a couple things. One is naming her Tulip and two is leaving her with Addie. But when she comes to visit Hope, she doesn't say much about her life or herself, she only leaves a couple of tips for being a waitress and leaves. But at the end of the book, Hope has a deeper understanding for the choices Deena made, even if she disproved them. An example of a good choice Deena made for Hope was giving her to Addie when she couldn't care for Hope herself. A bad decision she made that frustrated Hope was giving her the name Tulip. Hope didn't like the name from the start so she was glad that she was allowed to change it. Hope's mom has had an impact on Hope's life that has changed it forever.
ReplyDeleteI think that Hopes relationship with her mother is very weak because she always complains about how her mother was a better waitress than a mom. Throughout the story Hope's attitude towards her mother changes. At the beginning of the book she states all of the things her mother has taught her over the years, such as the customer is always right. At the end of the story Hope realizes that waitressing is more important that she is to her mother. Some things that Hope's mother did for her is teaching her about how to treat other people through statements she would make about waitressing. For example, the three hard and fast rules to waitressing, the Customer is always right, the cook is alway right and if they disagree, you will never settle it and your tip is history. Things that her mother does to frustrate her is that she kept calling her Tulip even though she legally changed her name to Hope. .
ReplyDeleteHopes relationship with her mother is always changing. Sometimes she will look up to her mom and think about how good of a waitress she is and use her tips. But, in the begging of the book Hope would box to get her feelings out about her mom. Hope's mom has done some good things for Hope like giving her waitress tips but has also done some not so good things. One of those things is leaving her alone with her aunt for her life and naming her Tulip with Hope hated and eventually changed her name to Hope.
ReplyDeleteHope's relationship with her mom isn't very fortunate. Mostly at the beginning of the book, Hope doesn't understand all the choices her mother had made for her. For an example she didn't understand why she named her Tulip. She thought it was too vague and wanted a new name to represent her better. She also didn't like the decision she made to leave her, she wanted to know her mom better and see her more than just three times in her life period. Another thing she didn't understand was that her mom wanted her to stay constant, but her mom told her that while constantly changing her hair color, which was not a good way to teach her to stay constant. Closer to the end of the book, Hope begins to realize the decisions that her mother made for her. Like, leaving her with Addie. By leaving her with Addie, she had become more aware of different towns, became more wise, and became something she took after her mother, a waitress. She began taking after her mother's notes at a new town they moved to, and gladly changed her name to Hope, which was a name that fit her better. By understanding her mother's choices her life was very impacted and changed.
ReplyDeleteHope's relationship with her mother is kind of a grey area. Hope doesn't hate her, but she doesn't love her all that much either. She shows some coldness towards her mother in the beginning, but warms up to her eventually. Her mother sacrificed the chance at living with her daughter so she could have a good life, and I kind of respect her for that. She also taught her how to be a good waitress. Hope was bitter towards her mom because she decided to leave her. Another thing that annoys Hope is that her mom gave her the name Tulip.
ReplyDeleteHope has a very confusing relationship with her mother. She loves her mother, but at the same time she doesn't always feel that way. The best thing her mother ever does for her is give her waitressing tips. When she gets those tips she takes them very seriously and to heart. Also, her mother cares about Hope a lot. Hope's mom upset her in a lot of ways too. Hope's mother made Hope so upset that she would have to box to get her feelings out. One more thing that bugs Hope about her mother is that she named her Tulip. Towards the end of the book Hope starts to understand her mom more and realizes why she made the decisions that she made. I think that Hope likes her mom a lot more at the end of the book than she did at the beginning of the book.
ReplyDeleteHopes relationship with her mother is one that changes and is hard to understand. Hope thinks Tulip is a stupid name so with Addie’s permission she changed on her 12th birthday. It annoys her that her mom still calls her Tulip. She likes it when her mom gives her tips on waitressing, like how to get a bigger tip. Hope doesn’t respect her mom as much because she walked out on her when she was born and so Addie could raise her. Another reason that their relationship is weird is because Hope used to be mad that her mom didn’t care about her but when she came to visit, Hope didn’t want to see her. Hope and her mom’s relationship is not very healthy.
ReplyDeleteIn my opinion, Hope has a very strange relationship with her mother. Her attitude changes within the story, Each thing that bothers her about her mother is also something that gives her opportunities to learn something or fix something.For example: hope is mad at her mother for just up and leaving her, but she's grateful that she was left with Addie. She is mad that her mother never comes to see her, but when she does, she doesn't want to talk to her. She's upset that her mother never taught her anything like mothers are supposed to do, but knows she needs the waitressing advice that she does get every so often. And the name her mother have her, tulip, it was an awful name, but if she didn't want to change her name, she wouldn't have taken on the great responsibility of being called hope, and she wouldn't have strived to live up to it. To sum it up, if Hopes mother wasn't such a bad mother, Hope would not be such a good person.
ReplyDeleteHope's mother abandoned her as a baby to the care of Aunt Addie. In her first twelve years of life, Hope and Addie moved from town to town because Addie kept looking for a job. Addie was a waitress and cook, and Hope's mother was a waitress. During all this time, the only contact Hope had with her mother was through letters. Hope's mother would write to give advice about how to be a good waitress and get a lot of tips. Hope was generally angry with her mother because she had run out on her. On top of that, she had originally named Hope "Tulip," a name Hope thought was ridiculous. In fact, Hope chose her own name when she was twelve. She chose "Hope" because it had a real meaning, one that she could relate to. When Hope and Addie move to Mulhoney, WI, Hope's mother comes to see her. Hope tries to avoid her, but finally gives in and agrees to talk to her. Hope cannot get over the years that her mother had little or nothing to do with her. The visit does nothing for their relationship, and Hope is glad when her mother leaves.
ReplyDeleteHope’s relationship with her mother is indifferent. I feel like Hope doesn’t like her mom because she doesn’t treat Hope like her own daughter. She is very disappointed in her mother but she still hopes that someday her mom will change. Hope’s attitude doesn’t really change with her mother throughout the book but as Hope becomes stronger and more confident, she seems less focused the mother she wished she would’ve had. The best thing Hope’s mom did for her was to leave her with Addie. Addie cared for Hope like her own daughter. Hope’s mom also gave her good advice about being a waitress which came in handy Stairways Diner. Hope was frustrated by her birth name Tulip, by all of the different men her mom had in her life, and that she was always talking about the past.
ReplyDeleteHope's mother is not a really a mother figure to her and doesn't even deserve to be called her mother because to me a mother is someone who loves you and would do anything for you and to me Addie is way more motherly to Hope than her biological mother ever will be. Throughout the whole story her attitude doesn't necessarily change to much right from the beginning I think she knows that she doesn't need her when she has Addie and being a waitress. Hope has some things to me great full for like the fact that she gave her to Addie and that she gives her such great waitress tips when she does visit her every few years. Her mother also did many things that frustrates Hope such as naming her Tulip in the first place, then not really visiting her throughout her life. It doesn't really matter that her mother is not in her life because Addie loves her and cars for her in place of her absent mother.
ReplyDeleteI thought that Hope and her mother had a very different and definitely strange relationship. Hope loves her mother but hates her at times as well. Most of the book Hope didn't understand why her mother did the things she did. Some good things about Hopes mom is that she taught her very good things but at times Hope felt like her mom was a better waitress than a loving mother. Hopes mother didn't really visit her at all, very little time spent with her mom so I can see why she feels the way she feels about her mom. Another bad affect that her mom had on her is her name. Hope never liked her birth name, Tulip, and she didn't understand the point to her name so she changed it when Addie gave her permission to. But, a good thing that Hopes mom gave her is waitress tips. I think Hope really did love her mother but just didn't know her very well.
ReplyDeleteI think there relationship isn’t bad but it isn’t very strong. They first of all rarely see each other and when they do see each other they don’t talk very much. I understand that her mom was not ready to be a mother and gave her to her sister, but not making an effort now to be more like her mom is not very understandable. I think the attitude toward her mother changed as Hope got older because she didn’t care as much about the things her mother did that frustrated her. Her mother gives her inspiration to be a good waitress and waitressing tips as the good things. The bad things are naming her Tulip, and not being there for her as she grew older.
ReplyDeleteI think the relationship between Hope and her mom is not very strong and is also complicated. At one point in the book Hopes mom comes to visit her and Hope seems like she hates her and doesn't want to see her. When her mom comes in the diner she walks in sits down and doesn't say anything. Hope does not seem happy to see her. She was always frustrated with her because she named her tulip and left her with her aunt. Once she and Hope start talking she doesn't say anything about her life or how she's doing. She only gives a few tips to Hope about being a good waitress. Although Hope is normally frustrated with her mom she always takes her waitressing tips to heart.
ReplyDeleteHope and her Mother Deena are not as close as a mother and daughter should be. In Deena's eyes, Hope is more of an acquaintance than a daughter. Hope has little respect for her mother and is upset that she didn't have that mother-figure in her life, but has learned to accept it. Hope is suppose to love her mother when really the only feelings she has for her are frustration. For example, she left Hope with her aunt as a baby and rarely sees her. Also she named her Tulip and who can blame her for being frustrated with a name like Tulip! Having Deena as a mother hasn't been all bad, she does give Hope very useful waitressing tips because as Hope says, "she is a better waitress than a mom." I do believe that over the course of the book that Hopes attitude towards her mother does change. Before she was frustrated and confused about why her mother had to be so horrible and leave her like that but now she sees it is kind of how it is meant to be and if her mother wouldn't have done those things that she might not have been blessed with the life that she is living now.
ReplyDeleteHope and her mother's bond is a very unique mother and daughter relationship. First of all, saying that Hope doesn't live with her mom, makes it even more difficult. Hope and her mom bond together with their jobs as waitressing, giving Hope advice and integrity. Something that gets better throughout their relationship is Hope's name. Her mom, named Hope, Tulip. Hope didn't like her name and wanted to change it. Hope ended up going from Tulip to Hope and her mom didn't support the name change and still continued to call her Tulip. When her mom had called her Tulip, Hope corrected her. Later, her mom calls her Hope. Hope's attitude towards her mom does change in a positive way.
ReplyDeleteDuring the first part in the book Deena and Hope have a better connection then more towards the end. In the beginning of the story. The only thing they have is that they are both waitresses and that Deena was the one who named Hope in the beginning. Throughout the story they lose the connection by first Deena doesn't want to have to raise a child gives her to her sister Addie. When Hope was 16 she asked Addie if she could change her name which her real mother gave her. She did do some good things for her though. Deena made the right decision to give her to Addie because she couldn't give Hope a good life. She still loves her even if she did give her away. Hope still has a positive attitude towards her mother though throughout the story.
ReplyDeleteHope doesn't have a strong bond with er her mother. Towards the end Hope's connection with her mother improves. For example before the book Hope would box to get out anger toward her mother. Hope's mother also named her Tulip which she didn't like cause it made her feel like her name doesn't correspond with who she is. When Hope was waitressing her she treated Hope like a normal everyday waitress instead of her daughter. Later in the story Hope's mom came to Wisconsin and made Hope angry at the beginning but later on she gave Hope waitressing tips and they started to get along more.
ReplyDeleteFirst sentence:
Deleteher*
When Deena left Hope and gave her to Addie their relationship immediately turned sour. They have a very odd relationship and have only seen each other 4 times throughout Hope’s life. Deena is a very unpredictable person and would not be a good parent or role model for Hope. When Deena comes to visit Hope she mostly talks about herself and being a waitress. Deena does not do many good things for Hope but she does do some such as leaving Hope with Addie. It is good that she left her with Addie instead of putting Hope up for adoption. Also she does give Hope good tips about being a waitress, so that helps Hope to be even better at her job. Another good thing that she did for Hope was actually calling her Hope. When Deena comes to meet Hope at the diner she calls Hope by her new name instead of Tulip. This shows that she respects Hope’s choices enough to call her by her new name. Deena also does many things that frustrate Hope, such as leaving Hope in the hospital when she was dying while Addie stayed by her side and helped her survive. Another thing that really frustrates Hope, is not knowing who her father is. One of Hope’s dreams is to know her dad but her mother isn't even trying to find out who he is and that kills Hope. Another thing that frustrates Hope is when Deena comes to the diner she acts as if Hope isn't here daughter, but just another waitress.
ReplyDeleteThings didn't start off on the right foot for Hope and her mother. When her mother left her in a blink of an eye Hope hated her mom. Her mom visited her a few times which wasn't always the best time for Hope but she did appreciate it because her mom would always give her a few new waitress tips which Hope used. Hope later on learns that her mother does really love her a lot, but she struggles at showing it. Hope always claims her mom is a better waitress than a mother. She realizes she tries her best though towards the end and appreciates it.
ReplyDeleteThe relationship between Hope and Deena is not the typical mother daughter relationship. It seems strange and unnatural, especially in the beginning of the book. To start off, Deena measured herself as unfit for parenting and gave Hope to Deena's sister Addie. One thing that Hope and Deena have in common is waitressing, in which Deena gives good advice to Hope. Deena visited her once at the diner and treated her as a waitress and not as her own daughter, which seemed strange. Deena would call Hope, Tulip, her original first name that she did not like. Because of this strained relationship, Hope felt frustrated, baffled, and confused. By the end of the book I think Hope understands Deena left her with Addie because she would have a better life.
ReplyDeleteI don't think Hope and her mom have a very strong relashionship. Hope has mixed feelings twords her, because sometimes she loves her and sometimes she hates her. I think part of the reason why they don't have a very strong relashionship is because Deena left her. Her mom gave her tips on how to be a good waitress. When Deena met Hope she called her by her changed name, which meant she has respect twords Hopes decisions. I think Hope doesn't realize how much her mom actually does love her, but twords the end starts to understand.
ReplyDeleteHope and her mothers relationship is a bit different. Hope loves her mom, but her mom left Hope. That makes it hard for Hope to love her because that means they didn't see each other when Hope was growing up and that's a key part in a mother daughter relationship. The only way it changed was for the worse. Hope's mom, Deena, visited the diner in Wisconsin and didn't treat her like her own daughter. Plus, she kept calling Hope by her old name Tulip, which frustrates Hope because she told her mom not to call her that. A good thing that her mom did for her was give her waitressing tips. Those tips really helped Hope.
ReplyDeleteHope has a different relationship with her mom because she hardly knows her. She doesn't really know how to feel about her mom because she doesn't know if she should love her or hate her which makes it hard for her to have her mom around. Her mom still calls her tulip and this frustrates Hope because her new name is Hope and she wants her mom to call her that. Hope also doesn't like the way her mom left her and never visited. One thing Hope did like about her mom was she gave her good waitressing tips that she wrote down in a journal and used while waitressing. I think Hope wanted to have her mom around a little more while she was growing up to help her on her way.
ReplyDeleteHope has a very unique relationship with her mother. At a very young age Hope was left with her aunt (Addie), and no sense of knowing where her mother was going or how this decision would affect her life. Throughout the story, Hope begins to mature and realizes how not having a mother can affect you. When she does visit she gives her daughter waitressing tips that come in handy when Hope is in a jam. Although still calling her Tulip really frustrates Hope and the way she thinks about her mom.
ReplyDeleteThe relationship between Hope and her mother is very weak. Hope loves her mom, but at the same time she doesn't love her because she does not know her that well. Hope's attitude changes throughout the book. For example, at the beginning Hope boxed to get her anger out about her mom. When Hope's mom visited in Wisconsin, Hope was still mad at her mom. She got a little less agitated towards her mom as time progressed. Hope got some good tips from her mom for waitressing. For instance, how the customers and cooks are always right, always carry ibuprofen and keep lime wedges under the counter to save time. Also, Deena gave Hope to Addie, because she knew Addie could take better care of Hope. Some things that frustrated Hope were how her mom named her Tulip when she was born and how her mom just treats her like a normal waitress, instead of her daughter.
ReplyDeleteI think Hopes relationship with her mother stays the same throughout the book. Her relationship isn't very good with her mother anyway. It started off on the wrong foot when her mother named her Tulip. Another thing she didn't like is when she came in to the diner and didn't act like she was Hope's mother. While in the diner though she gave her tips that she likes. Such as, to always keep a bottle of aspirin with her and to keep lemons under the counter. Hope also didn't like that her mother gave her to Addie and didn't raise her. All and all, the relationship between Hope and her mother is bumpy
ReplyDeleteI think that Hope and her mother’s relationship is an odd relationship. Hope’s mom left Hope with Addie at birth, which isn't the best start. Also Hope's mom visits rarely, but Hope still loves her. Also Hope hated the birth name that her mom gave her (Tulip). One of the most sacred things Hope’s mom gave her were tips on being a good waitress. Overall their relationship started off bad and never really got better.
ReplyDeleteI think that Hope and her mother don’t have a very strong relationship, but throughout the book their relationship gets stronger. When Hope was little she boxed to get her anger out towards her mom. Hope also changed her birth name, Tulip, when she was twelve. But what made their bond stronger was when her mom gave her advice on waitressing and on her last visit accepted that Hope had changed her name from Tulip. Even though Hope and her mom didn't have a strong bond I think Hope still loved her mom.
ReplyDeleteThe relationship between Hope and and her mother is a strange one. Sometimes Hope loves her mother than other times she does not. In the very beginning of the book Hope hates her mom and has very much anger towards her. It started off bad to when her mother named her Tulip. Even when Hope mom came to visit her she acted like she didn't know Hope. They bonded though when Hopes mom gave her waitressing tips. Towards the end of the book Hope came to love her mom again.
ReplyDeleteHope and her mother have a weak relationship. Sometimes they get along and sometimes Hope just wants her to leave. Hope likes her mothers waitressing skills. She does not like her mothering skills though. Hope does not like her mother because of the name she gave her, "Tulip". When Hopes mother first came into the restaurant she acted like she didn't know her daughter. In the end Hope changed the way she thought of her mom and I think that she loves her now.
ReplyDeleteHope and her mother have a shaky relationship. Hopes attitude toward her mother didn't change much throughout the story. Hope is frustrated with her mother for calling her tulip when her name is Hope. Her mother gives good tips for waitressing. But most of all she cares enough to visit her daughter.
ReplyDeleteI don't think Hope has much of a relationship with her mother. One thing that really bothers Hope is when Deena calls her Tulip. Her mother gives amazing tips to Hope which helps her be the waitress she is now. The hate Hope has towards her mother is from leaving her. In the end Hope realizes why her mom gave her to Addie and wanted her to have good life which Deena couldn't give her at the time.
ReplyDeleteThe relationship with Hope and her mother Deena is very difficult. Hope wants her to come back but at the same time she just wants her to stay away. Hope's attitude changes throughout the story, but her attitude towards her mom stays pretty much the same, which is usually frustration. Deena left Hope with Addie when Hope was just a baby. She also named her Tulip which Hope hated and changed her name to Hope. Deena did do some good things that Hope liked. One of those is giving her tips to become a good waitress. Hope is starting to realize that leaving her with Addie was probably for the best for both of them. Also Hope realized that her mother isn't like the mother she hoped she would be but, she is family and you are stuck with them.
ReplyDeletei think Hope has a weak relationship with her mom. She only sees her mom so often and when she does come to visit it Hope, Hope gets nervous. some of the good things hopes mom did for her was tell her how to be a good waitress and how to treat the people she is serving. Also she gave Hope to Addie because Hopes mom could not have taken care of Hope and her self. One of the worst things Hopes mom did was treat her like a waitress and not her daughter.
ReplyDeleteThe relationship between Hope and her mother is very strange. Sometime Hope doesn't like her mom but sometimes she does. When her mother came to visit her in Wisconsin, she is annoyed by her. Hope is less annoyed as the book goes on. One way her mom has helped is giving her advice on how to be a good waitress. Although her mom was mean at times, she was also nice at times and if I were Hope i would fell the same way.
ReplyDeletethe relationship between Hope and her mom is very different. Hope gets annoyed by her mom and sometimes she misses her. Hope starts to like her mom as the book goes on. One good advice her mom taught her was how to be a good waitress. One thing that Hope did not like about her mom was when she came to visit her, she treated her like a normal waitress.
