Madeeha Relationship

When I was reading “Tangles: Alzheimer’s, My Mother, and
Me”, I was able to connect my experiences to some of the memories shared by
Leavitt. I could relate myself to some of the things that Leavitt mentions in
the ‘Hair’ section of the novel. She said that her family had curly hair and
this feature made them stand out from the crowd. I do not know whether my
family stands out from my relatives because of curly hair or not, but, I am
always identified as the young lady who has short big curly hair. My family and
friends only notice my curly hair instead of the colour of my shirt, my pants,
or my eyes for example. The drawings of the loose curly strands of hair
resemble my loose hair after a shower.

Another part of the novel that I could relate to was when
Leavitt was practising writing with her left hand to strengthen her brain. I am
left-handed unlike Leavitt but, I practice writing and doing the daily chores
with my right hand to strengthen my brain. Surprisingly, I am able to do things
such as drinking water or making a henna design with my right hand. However, my
right-hand writing looks quite similar to Leavitt’s left-hand writing.

Apart from this, I related Leavitt’s mother’s painful time
dealing with Alzheimer’s disease with my grandmother. It was difficult to read
the last few pages because I dealt with a similar situation in the past. The
phone call reminded me of the time when my family received a call from my uncle
saying she is gone. My mother went into so much grief and sadness because she
had not met her mother for several years. She only spoke to my grandmother over
the phone since we immigrated to Canada. I remember my uncle used to call once
every day to let my mother talk to my grandmother. He informed us that she was
having symptoms of perhaps Alzheimer’s and she had been doing strange things
lately. In her last days, my uncle told me that she was refusing to recognize
any of us including my mother. He called us every day because my grandmother
would smile and talk when she heard my mother’s voice otherwise, she would just
sit quietly. She forgot by that time that my mother was her youngest and the
most pampered daughter from the rest of her children.

My grandmother did strange things like Leavitt’s mother. For
example, if she had to pray, then she would constantly pray for hours and hours
until my aunt told her that she needed to stop because she was done praying. I
felt sad when I heard these stories about my grandmother from my uncle. Thus, I
could relate to Leavitt’s feelings and experiences since I knew how painful it
is to see a loved one suffer from a disease like Alzheimer’s.
Historical Context

It
is evident that Sarah Leavitt’s novel is about Alzheimer’s, her mother, and
herself. Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is defined as
the most common form of dementia. It is a progressive deterioration of the
brain cells affecting memory, thinking, and behaviour.

AD was initially described as a “peculiar disease” in 1906
by a German physician named Alois Alzheimer. He described the symptoms as
Auguste D which included loss of memory, unusual behaviour, and shrinkage of
brain cells. Between 1970s and 1980s, there were several research projects and
associations like the National Institutes of Health (NIH),
formed to help the families affected by AD.

It was not until the 1990s when the treatments
started to emerge. However, Alzheimer’s treatment drugs were completely new at
that time and people were not familiar with the disease. Sarah’s mother, Miriam,
is given only morphine to fight her pain instead of a proper treatment. If
Miriam was diagnosed with AD in the present day, then she might have been given
more treatments due to the on-going biomedical research from the 2000s till
today. In fact, there might be more possible treatments available that are
currently being researched and investigated worldwide.

Purpose

### **To Inform**

One aspect of the purpose of the author’s memoir is to inform her readers of the hardships of having a loved one diagnosed with Alzheimer’s so that her readers can use her story as inspiration or motivation to keep going through your own personal struggles or a friend or family member that suffers from illness. Ultimately when faced with such a deeply impacting situation like how Sarah had with her mother having Alzheimer’s, you can either give up or push yourself to keep going through hard times. Sarah and her family pushed themselves despite how difficult it must have been, and that is truly inspiring. It is also very probable that the author would like to inform others of how to deal with this debilitating disease, and offers sort of a support system in seeing through the eyes of someone who had to care for a loved one that had Alzheimer’s, it gives insight to other people that may be going through similar situations; so that they may know better how to go about adjusting their lifestyle to accommodate this disease.

### **To Entertain**

Another purpose of the author’s writing is to entertain; her writing is not just a sullen story of Alzheimer’s and the struggle of dealing with it, it’s also an entertaining story of a family who despite their shortcomings still persevere and continue to have a happy, loving family. There are many times in the author’s memoir where it’s quite comical to see how quirky the family can be: from Hannah’s moments of drama to Mariam’s eccentric sisters and their antics throughout the memoir it is nothing short of amusing to read. It’s possible that the author likes to incorporate such
humorous aspects into her writing to help diffuse the sadness and realism of how debilitating it is to have to deal with Alzheimer’s.

### **To Explain**

One of the most important purpose’s to the author’s writing is to explain Alzheimer’s so that her readers can better handle similar situations, and to explain her story so that others can relate to and appreciate her memoir. This memoir acts almost like a biography of not only Mariam’s dealings with Alzheimer’s but also of her family’s; the author explains in detail what Mariam was like before being affected by the disease, the process of seeing many different doctors and specialists to see what the issue could be, being diagnosed with Alzheimer’s and then the aftermath of dealing with the disease leading up to the evident unfortunate death of Mariam. The way the author writes she puts these events in chronological order and explains different events throughout the timeline and how her family persevered. Without the in depth explanations this memoir would not be as memorable or so full of knowledge that can be transferred to the author’s readers; it explains a world in which small differences and struggles do not seem to be as significant when they are overshadowed by such a tragedy, and it really explains how such travesties can be overcame.

### **Backstory**

Amelia grew up away from civilization with her mother near a swamp on the outskirts of Sotira. Her only memory of her father is that he was kind and a wonderful smith for he left the family when she was very young. Not having any children her age to play with, the naiad spent her days and nights buried in her father's forging books and journals despite her mother's protests (Amelia's mother fervently against anything that reminded her of her 'no good' husband).

By the age of 16, Amelia had memorized every one of her father's words and discovered between two pages a letter addressed to her. While vague, Amelia's father noted he hated leaving her behind and promised to one day come back to her once he accomplished an important goal. Among the papers was an address scrawled out in an untidy hand. Amelia took to writing letters detailing her life and travelling to Sotira to mail them out in hopes they'd reach her father.

While taking these excursions, Amelia would visit various blacksmiths trying to gain apprenticeship or at least an area to test her craft. Most would turn her away due to her age and race (naiads being known to be rather provocative and lazy) until she chanced upon Mardock. Having a soft spot for children, he let her into her shop to use his space and eventually began instructing Amelia.

This went on for almost a year before Amelia's mother found out. They quarreled, her mother dead set against it after the Victor fiscal and everything they endured with her father. The naiad cried herself to sleep and the next night, packed up her things and left. Mardock took her in and Amelia hasn't spoken to her mother since, instead dedicating herself to smithing and writing letters to a father that has never once replied.

Locations

## The Beginning

### The Spiritual Plain

The Spiritual Plain is a beautiful place where the Regulus and spirits of the deceased reside. The grass is always green, the weather is always fair, and everything is in perfect balance. In it, there is a river with black water, which seemingly has no beginning or end. Spirits are forbidden to go near it, as it's the gateway between the physical world and the Spiritual Plane. Those who defy this warning are cursed to spend an eternity wandering the earth as a lonely ghost.

## The Past

### Merukaise

A large seaport kingdom, ruled over by Kamia von Dassendorf. It's well known for its large population of anthral and laws that protect them, as well as its focus on trading. It's considered a very desirable place to live, as it has a beautiful view of the ocean, and a friendly, accepting community.

### Sirime

A smaller kingdom located in a forest area. It has strict immigration laws, and doesn't do much interacting with other kingdoms. It's fairly anthral friendly, having a few laws protecting them from major things such as slavery. However, there's still a bit of a stigma against them.

They reside in a spiritual realm that cannot be reached under normal circumstances, but will very rarely appear on the face of Aminus in their physical forms. Each one is unique in appearance, personality, and responsibility, but fights rarely break out, as they know that keeping a harmony between each other is vital for the well-being of Aminus. Each individual Regulus was skillfully crafted by Principius.

## Story

The Regulus were created by Principius in order to share its love of Aminus with someone. When they were created, each one was given a gift that they could use to make Aminus even more amazing than Principius had made it. When it passed away, The Regulus were given the responsibilty of watching over Aminus, and keeping it in balance.

Isaac

Isaac is a brown rabbit Synthalite who frequently travels around Aminus and the digital world. He's one of the first Synthalites that survived the process of altering, an achievement he prefers not to talk about out of respect for his fallen peers.

## Story

Before becoming a Synthalite, Isaac lived alone in an apartment with his mother. The two were quite close, as his mother's boyfriend, and Isaac's father, had left them, leaving only the two of them in the home. Isaac was born weak, and developed some heart problems as he got older. At twelve years of age, Isaac suffered from a heart attack, getting him in the hospital. His mother, working as a waitress, had to take money out of her life savings in order to pay the hospital bills. She knew she wouldn't be able to take care of him, and considered giving him to a better home.

Soon after the event, Anima Foundation reached out to Isaac and his mother, telling them that Isaac could be taken into their care, and given help. Reluctantly, Isaac's mother decided it was for the best, Anima Foundation was given full custody of Isaac. Although they had good intention, the foundation did not tell Isaac's mother about their attempts to transform Isaac into a Synthalite. They planned to cover up his death as something from his heart condition, and only tell her about the procedures if Isaac survived. Eventually, they ended up taking a third option, as Isaac's mother passed away shortly before his year-long round of surgeries had been completed.

Isaac was not informed of his mother's death, in order to keep his spirits up in case his mood affected the success of the Synthalite project.

## Trivia

* If you play the game ROBLOX, (the character images were all created with it) you may come across the user StarshipUniverse. This user takes on the playermodel and character of Isaac and is open to roleplay.
* Although he doesn't really have a home, as he's constantly bouncing between places, he owns a Traditional Japanese House That Is A Little Too Big For Him™

Alex

Alex is a odd-looking, pink-furred, feminine-looking creature. He was formerly an Aminonian, but was turned into a Sin Demon by Ironius. He lives by a river in the woods, and anyone unfortunate enough to come across him will be met with flirting and pranks.

## Story

When Alex was an Aminonian, he was quite the casanova wannabe. He would hit on just about everyone in his village, making him a notoriously disliked person in the village. However, he didn't stop there; his actions gradually grew more threatening towards his favorites. He would stalk them, send them letters on a hourly basis, and behave in inappropriate ways towards them. Eventually, his actions grew so malicious that Ironius cursed him before he could do anything worse.

Alex's curse turned him into a Sin Demon, and gave him the burden that he gave others. Ironius gave him shadows that only he could see. Each shadow looked exactly like those he had hurt, and they relentlessly stalked him, and tried to hurt him. One day, while fleeing from a group of the shadows, he met Kalem, a traveler. Seeing the distraught Alex, Kalem let Alex travel with him. Alex was extremely grateful to him, and refrained from causing any trouble for him. The two got to know each other, and even got into a relationship.

## Trivia

* Alex was originally a river spirit. He would lure people to the river in order to drown them. This concept was scrapped in the end.
* His theme song would be *Sardonyx.*

Millicent

Millicent is a creature that appears similar to a gray cat with horns, much like Mooskat. She lives as a wanderer, staying wherever she's able to. She doesn't know what species she is, but often refers to herself as a "demoncat," as a reference to her menacing-looking horns.

On March 28th, 2023, she was accidentally killed by a man who had let her stay the night. When she went to get some food early in the morning, he mistook her for a house invader. She was hit over the head with a small statue, and the blunt force knocked her unconscious and killed her within minutes.

## Story

Millicent was born to an average family, and was a sister to two brothers. She was a valedictorian in her class, and skipped several grades, graduating from high school at age 15. She planned to move out and go to a good college, but it unfortunately did not work out that way. Because of a prejudice against anthral, and anyone who appeared to be an anthral, she conveniently got a test for things she had never studies, and was denied due to her low score.

Not wanting to disappoint her family, Millicent did not return home. She would constantly write letters to her family, as if she had made it into college, when in reality, she was roaming nearby towns and cities, applying to colleges and hoping to get in. As she never knew if she would be accepted or not, she learned to live as a wanderer, only getting a home when she was accepted into a college.

On March 27th, 2023, she was finally accepted to a community college, and was overjoyed. She wrote a letter to her family to apologize for lying, and told them that she had actually been accepted to a college this time. As she needed to rest before buying an apartment, she stayed the night at a kind man's house. The man in question was married to an anthral, and had a fear of someone trying to hurt her because of that. In the early morning of the next day, his fear caused him to panic, and unintentionally murder Millicent. The letter was never sent.

## Trivia

* Millicent was originally created to be the female version of Mooskat. Though there are still traces of this concept, she was made to be Mooskat's descendant instead.
* She sounds like Rebecca Sugar.
Aminonian

Aminonians are one of the two main races of Aminus. They were the first ones created, and thus, were named for the planet they reside on. Aminonians are almost identical to humans in terms of appearance and biology, with the major difference that, under normal circumstances, Aminonians have the inborn ability to use magic, due to the fact that Eden passed down his magic to all Aminonians. This makes them quite powerful, but has unfortunately also led to many feeling superior over other races.

## Story

Back when Aminus was first created, Principius and the Regulus believed that, despite the fact that Aminus was filled with beautiful scenery, it needed one more thing; life. They all knew that creating life would be difficult, even for the all powerful Principius. Principius, however, was not fazed by this at all. It gave up its heart in order to create the first Aminonian, Eden. Eden possessed the powerful magic to create life, and it was his task to do just that. Using this magic, he created his race, until he could no longer do so, and passed away with happiness in his heart.

With that, generations of Aminonians were born, creating civilizations and thriving. However, they faced a serious threat when an enraged Aliturious attacked Aminonians, trying to protect nature. The Aminonians, which had been damaging nature, had been slaughtered, until they were saved by Caelestis. After Aliturious was subdued, and anthral were put on Aminus, the Aminonians' destruction of nature was slowed, as they knew there would be consequences if they weren't careful about what they took from nature. Over time, tension between anthral and Aminonians grew, until there were constant fights. Even when they died down, there was still a large amount of tension. Many Aminonians began to see anthral as subhuman, resulting in hatred, and crimes such as slavery and poaching. Anthral slavery and poaching were legal everywhere, and seen as morally okay by the majority of Aminonians. However, as time went on, ideals changed. Several areas outlawed the ownership and mistreatment of anthral, with punishments such as being imprisoned, or even executed. The majority of Aminonians and anthral could see each other as equal, and both strived to make a better world for the both of them.

Eden

Eden is the first Aminonian to ever exist, as well as the ancestor of all other Aminonians. He was created by Principius when it gave its heart to Eden in order to give him life.

## Story

When Principius and The Regulus created Aminus, it was filled with beautiful scenery, but no life. Creating life would be very complex, but Principius was more than willing to give up its heart in order to create life. The result was Eden, the first Aminonian. Because he had the heart of a divine being, Eden had the ability to harness powerful magic; life magic. With this magic, Eden was given the task to create others like him, and populate the planet.

Eden wandered the planet, creating various families. Even though the process would take a lot of energy, and several months, Eden focused on the task at hand. After a while, he looked at everything he had done, and felt satisfied with himself. He decided it only needed one more thing, and created a family for himself. A few months after that, Eden passed away peacefully and happily, content with his work.

## Trivia

* Every time Eden created an Aminonian, he would use a small portion of his life energy to create them. In the end, this led to an early, but peaceful, death.

It has ceased to be, as it gave up its heart in order to create life. Aminus is now in the care of The Regulus.

## Story

In the very beginning, there was nothing, until there was Principius. It was the only thing in the vast universe, and so decided to change that. It created a planet. Though big and mighty to those who would occupy it, it was small, precious, and dependent to Principius. It learned something new; love. It loved the tiny planet, and gave it a name; Aminus. As Principius loved the planet, it began to learn other things as well. Happiness, pride, excitement, and loneliness. Loneliness, because there was nobody to share Aminus with. Then, it learned yet something new. It was powerful, and it could bring about life to share its joy with. Principius did just that, creating fourteen spirits. As he wanted to share the joy of his planet, it gave each one a gift that they, in turn, could give to the planet. As time passed, the fifteen created a beautiful world. Principius was content with the planet, and decided that it only needed one more thing. He took his heart, and used it to create life; Eden. He said his farewells, and left Aminus in the hands of the Regulus.

When Principius created the Regulus, it gave each one a gift. Caelestis, who was created first, would be the leader, so she was given the gift of Harmony, and the responsibility of keeping her comrades and Aminus in perfect balance. Caelestis never thought it would be easy, but when Aliturious went on a rampage, she truly understood how much weight her duties held, Though she put on a brave face, it truly hurt her to punish her comrade.

The young Caelestis found it harder and harder to uphold her duties, and for a period of three weeks, hid herself away. When the other Regulus found her, they showed her that without her leadership, everything had fallen into chaos. Caelestis was filled with guilt, then determination.

Structure

### **Act One: The Setup**

This memoir begins by introducing sisters Deborah, Susannah, and Mariam, who are daughters of Beatrice and Joe. These three sisters are very close amongst each other, and they went through a hard time with the deaths of each of their parents (at separate times). Next the early lives of Sarah, Hannah, Rob, and Mariam are looked at more in depth. Early signs of Mariam’s Alzheimer’s is also examined, small things here and there like when she could never get the sliding door to the bathroom at Sarah’s apartment open, and other “weird” behavior. Mariam begins to exhibit strange and moody behavior, and sort of has a midlife crisis when she decides to take Rob and live in Mexico for some time. It is afterwards when Mariam admits she has done research into how she felt and she concluded that she had Alzheimer’s; with the help of medical professionals they also conclude this fact.

### **Act Two: The Conflict**

More memories of the family are looked at throughout this memoir, sort of like flashbacks. Sarah reflects on their Jewish upbringing such as celebrating Hanukah and going to the synagogue for renewal. More signs of Alzheimer’s show up in Mariam, such as randomly walking around the house naked or starting to lose her memory of small things. She could no longer cook for herself or garden independently, instead she depended on Rob. Mariam would wake up in the middle of the night, having the sink full blast and brushing with a dry brush. She became more of a burden on her family in this act. Mariam began writing notes and journals while she could to preserve her writing from when she was healthier; she also came to terms that she would die sooner than she had wanted. Mariam could no longer take care of herself such as bathing herself or using the washroom, in this act her illness became increasingly worse and it took a toll on her family.

### **Act Three: The Resolution**

In the last act Mariam’s life comes to an end after her long and treacherous battle with Alzheimer’s. Mariam could barely talk and she needed someone with her almost 24/7 for close supervision. In the beginning of this act she could still sort of talk but it was more butchered and in pieces, such as saying something like “Sarah! Do you want to look? … I just think it’s so”. Increasingly she would not make much sense. Mariam was having a harder time to communicate properly to her family and so in turn her family had a hard time with trying to care for Mariam. Ultimately Mariam is put into a nursing home so she could be better cared for, and she spent the last portion of her life there before she died. Her family is very sad of Mariam’s death but they are also relieved that Mariam is now at peace.

Anthral

**Anthral** are one of the two main races of Aminus. Their name is derived from the word "anthropomorphic," as they are anthropomorphic animals. They have about the same intelligence and lifespan of an Aminonian, and take on the appearance of mammals, with the exception of primates and most sea animals. Unlike Aminonians, however, the ability to wield magic is quite rare, rather than being an inborn ability. In exchange for this, however, anthral were given to gift of being in touch with nature, as they are the beloved children of Aliturious, and created to protect nature.

## Story

It had been several centuries since Aminus had been created. Eden's kin, the race that had become known as Aminonians, had created communities and families, and thrived. However, as the Aminonians advanced, they laid waste to the world around them.Aliturious, the creator of nature, saw this destruction, and was filled with a powerful rage. She lost her composure, and turned herself into a beast. She made it her duty to protect nature at any cost, even if it meant killing off the Aminonians. She went on a rampage, killing many in the process, but was stopped byCaelestis. Aliturious, having committed a great crime, was to be stripped of her great powers, becoming little more than a spirit that could bring about the seasons. Caelestis, however, took pity on the devastatedAliturious, seeing that her intentions were to protect what she loved. She allowed Aliturious to take one last action, warning her to choose wisely.Aliturious decided to use this last action to create the anthral in her image.

The anthral succeeded in protecting nature. Unfortunately, there was a dark side to Aliturious's last wish. When anthral were created, they were made to protect nature specifically from Aminonians. There was constant fighting between the two races, but when it died down, much of the bad memories and tension still existed. Eventually, many Aminonians began to see anthral as subhuman, resulting in hatred, and crimes such as slavery and poaching. Anthral slavery and poaching were legal everywhere, and seen as morally okay by the majority of Aminonians. However, as time went on, ideals changed. Several areas outlawed the ownership and mistreatment of anthral, with punishments such as being imprisoned, or even executed. Eventually, there came a time when it was illegal everywhere; a huge step for anthral in achieving equality. Though it was an uphill battle, anthral and the Aminonians who believed them to be equal achieved the basic rights for anthral. In modern day, anthral have nearly achieved equality, but discrimination against them still lingers.
