Sarah and Adoniram have a happy marriage.
There is tension in Sarah and Adoniram's relationship.
Sarah and Adoniram are worried about their daughter's wedding.

There is tension in Sarah and Adoniram’s relationship. 

The story is set in the late 1800s, the society was a patriarchy one, meaning that women had no value. A woman (and a mother) had to only worry about keeping the house clean, cook,  etc. Sarah and Adoniram’s relationship was tense, just as many others during this time. 

In “The Revolt of Mother”, Sarah is angry at her husband because, instead of building the house he’s been promising her for forty years, he’s building a barn for the cows. Despite her attempts to start a conversation with him, he completely ignored her, as he thought she, being a woman, wasn’t valuable enough to talk with about future plans. 

One day, when Adoniram left town for work, Sarah decided to build up her courage and stand up against her husband. Their son is described as a younger version of Adoniram and their daughter was soon to be married. Sarah wanted to set an example for her kids, she wanted to demonstrate that they have to stand up for themselves, so that day she moved all their belongings into the barn (which was much bigger and nicer than the house they were living in) and the cows into their old house. When Adoniram had returned and he had seen with this own eyes that his wife was giving orders he started crying , saying, “I hadn’t no idee you was so set on’t as all this comes to”.

Answer:

There is tension in Sarah and Adoniram’s relationship.

My mother held to her idea and one night a week or so later I found myself standing in a room in a frame house. My father and a strange woman were sitting before a bright fire that blazed in a grate. My mother and I were standing about six feet away, as though we were afraid to approach them any closer.

Which statement best explains this excerpt from act v, scene I, of Twelfth Night? SEBASTIAN: [to OLIVIA] So comes it, lady, you have been mistook: But nature to her bias drew in that. You would have been contracted to a maid; Nor are you therein, by my life, deceived; You are betroth'd both to a maid and man. Sebastian explains that the case of mistaken identity has worked in Olivia’s favor because she has married Sebastian, not Viola. Sebastian says that Olivia has mistakenly married a woman instead of a man, which goes against the "bias" of nature.

When I was two years old I remember watching the NBA Finals on TV. The Los Angeles Lakers were playing against the Philadelphia 76ers. I was captivated by watching Kobe Bryant, Shaq O’Neal, and Allen Iverson battling each other for the championship. The history of the Lakers were chasing history had a record of 15-1 in the playoffs. Even as a young child I knew the significance of the game, the individual player was that intrigued myself was Kobe Bryant taking over the rest series right after they’re rivals the 76ers taking game 1. Honestly it looked like fun thing to do it made me want to play like them.
At the age of 4 years old I went to the park to play basketball with a cousin of mine which we were the same age. While we were playing shooting hoops I still had the thoughts of being like Kobe Bryant. I envisioned myself shooting the fadeaway saying to myself ‘’nothing but net’’. I was dribbling gracefully working on my crossover, basketball skills, making moves against imaginary defenders in my head. It sunny that day which made me want to play all day long. I and my cousin were playing basketball till it was 8:00 in the evening. Time had passed because I’ve been enjoying myself shooting from everywhere. While I and my cousin were walking home I had been thinking I want to come back and play as soon as possible! Over the years I continued to play and practice as often as I could. As I got older I developed a strategy and a new aspect of how I was going to compete; that meant playing on a team 5 on 5 full courts.
When I was in 4th grade, school allowed having a more structured schedule. I would wake up in the morning get ready brushed my teeth put on my clothes and ride the bus to school. When I got to school I would get ready for class, and day dream myself playing basketball. The bell would ring I’d sit through class and the bell would ring again and get ready for the next subject. This pattern continued through the morning and the same routine, but what I looked forward most was recess! Outside at recess kids would play all sorts games, there was so much energy that everyone needed to breathe for air. There were kids splaying tag, some playing dodgeball, talking to each other. But the thing I always I wanted to do was to play basketball. Every day I would watch my friends playing basketball thinking I can joined them. The idea of playing on a team was beyond realistic! The school days went by the bells rang, and the same routine took place week after week. I would hear the teachers say ‘’ remember homework is due tomorrow’’ ‘’study for the quiz you have’’ etc. Even though I knew this was important and I never neglected to my responsibilities as a student, occasionally my mind would drift to basketball. Same days all I wanted to do was go to recess and play basketball. One day I’m in school and going through the normal routine. The bell rings and it signals ‘’ recess time’’!
