If tara her job it will be difficult at first

That winter, Tara begins having unsettling visions of herself pregnant and begging to go to the hospital, but barred from entering by her father. She realizes that “no future” she might have will be able to hold both her own desires and her father’s. One evening, after Tara has already gone to bed, Dad comes into her room and sits with her. He tells her that he has been “praying” about her desire to go to college, and has received a message. Dad says that “the Lord” is “displeased” with Tara’s decision to “whore after man’s knowledge,” and will soon incur God’s “wrath.” Tara’s father senses that she is getting closer and closer to breaking free from the future he’s laid out for her, and is attempting to shame and frighten her into abandoning her plans. Tara, though, is smart, and realizes that he is couching his own feelings in what he claims to be a message from God so that if his authority doesn’t scare her out of pursuing an education, God’s supreme authority just might. The next morning, Tara finds Mother mixing oils in the kitchen. Tara announces that she has decided not to go to college. Her mother is disappointed, and Tara is shocked—she thought Mother would be “glad to see [her] yield to God.” Mother quietly, urgently tells Tara that she shouldn’t “let anything stop [her] from going,” but as Dad’s footsteps approach the kitchen, Mother hurriedly turns back to her work. Without Shawn, Dad’s construction business is suffering, and so Tara returns to scrapping that wi...

Faye grew up in a middle-class Mormon family where outer appearances and social conventions were highly valued. She rebelled by marrying Tara's father, Gene. Gene grew up with an abusive father and a mother who was often busy working. His rugged, independent life was initially very appealing to Faye. Faye's family disapproved of the marriage, and during Tara's childhood, relations with her mother's family were always strained. Gene was twenty-one at the time of the marriage, and initially seemed merely rebellious and unconventional. As he aged, and the couple had more and more children, Gene became more and more radical, taking actions like refusing to send his children to school or have a phone line. Tara recollects that later in life, she learned about bipolar disorder and notes that the typical timeline associated with the appearance of symptoms seems to line up with her father's gradual descent into paranoid and controlling behavior.

During this period of closeness, Shawn playfully nicknames Tara “Siddle Lister.” During one of Tara's rehearsals, Shawn and Tara meet a girl named Sadie, who clearly develops a crush on Shawn.

One day, when Shawn shows Tara the same bossy attitude he uses with Sadie, she rebels and dumps a glass of water on his head.

Come on, register already! • Forums • Buffy The Vampire Slayer • Season 6 I've been watching Buffy and Angel again recently, and this has always bugged me about Buffy season 6. Buffy comes back from the dead and Willow and Tara are like, "We've been living in your house and we spent all your money while you were dead. So now that you're back, you have to get a job or we'll all be homeless." I mean, what would Willow, Tara, and Dawn have done if Buffy hadn't been brought back? Used up all the rest of Buffy's money and then moved onto Xander's couch? Good question. Since they were still at college, my guess is they had student loans that they only had to pay back if their income was above a certain amount. Because they didn't want to repay, they didn't get jobs. It was incredibly selfish on their part but all of the scoobies were selfish at some point during Season 6. This is just one of many reasons why I consider season 6 unrealistic, however it may FEEL simply by bringing up certain subjects normally ignored (but I'd rather they continue be ignored than handled as terribly as they were--I didn't even think of it as realistic, just seeing it as new plot benders they were experimenting with, until I saw an interview where the ...

Summary: Chapter 7:The Lord Will Provide Tara describes an incident which happened during the summer months, almost a month after Tyler left home. Her seventeen-year-old brother Luke spills gasoline on his jeans, and then accidentally sets himself on fire. Panicking, he causes the fire to spread from his clothing to the dry grass of the surrounding area. The incident occurs a short distance away from the house, and Tara is alone when her brother arrives, screaming in pain from his burns. She does what she can to help him, submerging his leg in ice and water. Her mother eventually comes home and treats the burn herself despite the severity of the injury, and Luke's intense pain. Tara breaks from the memory to tell the reader that writing down the memory causes her to realize something. Since Luke had set the grass on fire shortly after he was injured, she wonders who put out the fire and prevented it from consuming the surrounding area. She wonders whether it is possible that Luke was with their father when he caught on fire, rather than alone as she has always assumed. Tara asks her brother Richard, who tells her that he remembers the story of their father sending his burned son back to the house alone so that he could put out the fire before it spread. In Luke's memory, he was with their father when the injury happened, but Gene took him back to the house and helped him before then going back to deal with the fire.
