Essay In Mother

My Mom Moms are the most special and pure beings in the world. They are that being who gives everything for love, for her home, for her children and grandchildren. The mother is such a blessed woman that she endures so many things for the sake of her children, while many times we are ungrateful to them, assuming that our mothers will always be there for us. When moms still there with you, it is fortunate to have her, because the kind oflove she gives is the purest you can ever find. My mom, for example, is very special to me, since she has taught me how to live and how to value things in life. She has always been present at all times and has not spent a single day in which she has forgotten to give me her blessing. she is the one who...show more content... She always encourages me to work hard, stay focus and never give up. She has been a great example of how to be an excellent mother and wife. What I admire most about her is that when I was a baby she used to work everyday and I am surprised that she always had time for me and her work, I mean that working and taking care of a baby is very difficult. Everyday she gets up to work, to be sure that I have everything I need. She's a mother and wife focused on giving her family the best of her. If my family were in need, she would do whatever it takes to get what is needed. Another reason why my mother is very special is because she always makes space and takes time to go to my volleyball games. She sometimes has to drive three or four hours and stay in a hotel just to be present in my games. She gets really involved in the game, she cheers a lot, and she is my number one cheerleader. My mom sometimes takes goodies to treat my teammates. They all respect and love her because how she treats everyone on the team. She gets excited and has a lot of fun in my games. I'm thankful for what my mom has done for me. Everyday she's looking for different ways to improve my lifestyle. The sacrifices she has to make to help me move forward is something I will never be able to pay her back. There's nothing better than share with her my challenges and achievements. I always ask God to bless me allowing me to have

Linguistic Beauty of "Mother Tongue" In Amy Tan's essay "Mother Tongue", Tan discusses how the way her bilingual mother speaks negatively affects how people perceive her intellect. Despite the fact that Tan's mother is actually very intelligent and understands more than many people expect her to, she often is ignored and belittled because of how she speaks. Tan feels that those who ignore and belittle her mom are oblivious to the beauty, complexity, and richness of her mother's speech. In Tan's essay "Mother Tongue", Tan shows that the belief that standard English is inherently better than other forms of English is flawed by questioning the prominence of proper English and sharing how rich and beautiful her mother's English can be. Time and time again, Tan's mother's inability to speak proper English is seen by standard English speakers as a sign that she is unintelligent; they believe that the way she speaks is wrong and therefore the things she has to say are not important. This belief is so pervasive that as a teen, Tan herself used to believe that her mother was not smart because of how she spoke. Because Tan's mother's speech did not follow the rules of traditional English, Tan "believed that her [mother's] English reflected the quality of what she had to say. That is, because she expressed them imperfectly, her thoughts were imperfect" (146). Because Tan's mother speaks in ways that are described as "broken" and "limited", as a teen Tan felt her mother's language indicated that her mom was simple minded. However, as Tan grew up, she came to appreciate the beauty and intellect behind her mother's words. While Tan's friends comment that they cannot understand a majority of what Tan's mother says, Tan hears her mother's speech as "perfectly clear, perfectly natural", and remarks that "her language, as [she] hear[s] it, is vivid, direct, full of observations and imagery" (146). Tan's friends seem to hear Tan's mother's speech on a surface level; since they cannot understand what she is trying to say, they cannot understand how rich her language is. Just because Tan's friends do not understand her mother, it does not make the intricacies of how she speaks any less unique. The tendency of standard English

My Mother And My Childhood

To this day, I can still remember standing at the end of my driveway watching my mother arrive home from the bus stop. This day was different; she was not coming home empty handed. In fact, she had stopped at a yard sale on the way home and bought a prize for me, a doll named Suzy. This memory, from the age of two, embraces the story of my mother and my entire childhood. In Indianapolis, Indiana in September 1980, I was born to a single mother. Throughout her life, she worked for the phone company in downtown Indianapolis. Even though she raised us through hardships and despair, she always took the time to love my brother and me outwardly. Until second grade, I have no recollection of my father visiting more than three occasions. At last, in fourth grade we began to spend weekends at his house and with his family. Sadly, when I was eleven we learned that my father had cancer. One week before Christmas, after a school music program, I read his obituary in the paper and told my mother he had passed away. From that moment, our family forever changed, specifically my relationship with my mother. During childhood, I took enjoyment in reading, school, and the arts. Escaping into books and my schoolwork would be my escape from real life. Since school was the priority in our household, there was little time for extracurricular activities. Similarly, through myhigh school years, determined to make my mother proud, I pushed myself to succeed. Above all else, college was the goal

At seventeen years old, my life had completely changed. I became a mother all while losing my own mom. My youth had vanished in what seemed like the snap of two fingers. How in the world could I be a mother when I am just a child myself? While learning how to shuffle being a mom and a student at such a young age, I had to learn to embrace the grief of losing my mother. I began to wonder how I could ever relate to others my age, when it seemed I had so much more responsibility placed upon me. When going to school I had a lot of people question or make fun of me because I was a teen mom making it even harder for me. I lost all of my friends and felt alone. I felt as if the weight of the world were upon my shoulders. Then life threw yet another curve ball at me and I lost my grandmother...show more content...

This was when I dropped out of High School and I lost hope and direction.

Several years later, I met and married my husband Cody. I became a mother of three more beautiful children. My main focus at this point was being the best mother I could possibly be. In doing so, life become really busy and my education was put on hold yet again. As my children got older I started to realize something was missing. I felt down on myself, thinking how in the world can I support my family with no education let alone an idea of what I wanted to do with my life. I was letting that define the person I am. I made a promise to not only myself but to my children and husband that I would complete my education and get my diploma. I wanted to be a good example to my children and show them that I can do it! Since then I have found lots of support and hope that I had lost over several years. I did a lot of soul searching by digging down deep and finding myself. I started to think a lot of my future and how I could help support my family. In retrospect, it's funny how one day can have such an effect on your life. I choose to go to a temp agency in search of Get

A mother is someone who can take the place of all others but no one can take the place of her. There are many different definitions you could use to describe your mother. My mother, Pam Krull, fits every one of those. Today I decided to pick the three that I thought was most important to me. I admire and aspire to be like my mother because of how supportive, how selfless, and how loving she is. My mom has gone through a lot to get where she is today. I will begin by telling you a little bit about my mom's background. My mom grew up outside ofGeorge with her parents, Harris and Bev Kaster, and her three siblings, Erik, Brad, and Kristy. She attended George High School when they were still Blue Jays. My mom was involved in a lot of different activities. She was in the play, large group and individual speech, a cheerleader, played the drums in band, was in student council, secretary of her class, REC club, band, and jazz band. In her free time she hung out with friends and her sister. She had a few jobs growing up also. She babysat a lot, worked at the library, and the dentist office. My mother also helped teach bible school, catechism, and attended youth group at Hope Reformed Church. My mother met my dad, Doug Krull when she was a junior in high school. They dated for a while and ended getting married. They then had three beautiful daughters, Allyssa, Megan, and Rebecca. My mom went to Northwestern College in Orange City, Iowa, to get her education

My mother has many wonderful traits, but there's a few that stand out. First of all, her wisdom is outstanding. She provides great advice no matter the situation. Also, I'd say she has a positive mentality. She always has this optimistic point of view for everything. Ultimately, the trait that stands out in her the most is compassion. It's incredible the way she shows compassion towards everyone. Her way of demonstrating compassion is very unique. She always puts herself in everyone else's shoes, without naming their flaws. Overall, she the best mother I could have asked for. Ever since day one, she has proven to be a wise woman. When preparing for a test she helps me by giving me useful advice on how to mentally prepare for it. When in doubt...show more content...

He gave us the hospitals name and we instantly looked it up in the GPS and my mother drove us there. We quickly ran up to the floor where my brother was being treated. As soon as we saw my father sitting in the waiting room my mother ran up him to ask him what did the doctors say about my brother. He said that due to his grave condition he had to be placed in intensive care. That as soon as my brother's condition stabilized, we would be able to see him. My mother was trying to be strong, I could see it in her eyes and in the way she talked. Since time was passing by and we were already tired, my father took us to a hotel and left us there. He then went back to the hospital with my mother. Days went by and little improvement was shown, things were beginning to look good. Nurses informed us that we were able to see my brother. But only two people can be in the room at once. So both of my parents went in first. Then after a while, my brothers and I went in. He was in a bed asleep, he looked tired and exhausted. We decided to leave and let him rest. Finally, a doctor came out the door and through the hallway looking for my parents. My mother quickly stood up and asked him how was my brother doing. The doctor said that my brother had the flu and two other viruses that he had encountered most probably in the previous hospital. My mother's face was sadness in every sense

My mother is a very complicated woman. I believe the best way to describe her would be, "the road to hell is paved with good intentions." I know, weird way to start off my literary story, right? As much as I do not like my mother, I love her, and respect her. While I am being honest, I owe my work ethic and a vast majority of my success to her, as much as I hate to admit it. The way she lived her life, most college graduates and the societal hoity toity types would raise their noses to. However, you can't deny her dedication to her children and theireducation, she is the start of my literacy journey. Mymother wasn't always...how do it put this? Let's go with questionable, and she was stable and the picture–perfect mother when she was married to my father. My mother and father thought it would be beneficial for her to stay at home with my twin brother and I. Flash cards were always there, before Kindergarten my mom made sure my twin and I could count to 100, we knew our ABC's, we could write our names, our parents' names, knew our address and phone number. Every Thursday we went to the public library for story time and to pick out our books for the week. Before nap and before bed we would read one of Miguel's books and one of mine, some of the books we read so much that my brother and I memorized the stories. We would even pretend to read those favorite stories. As the years went on and we went to school my mother was super involved. She had all our grades emailed to her,

My First Teacher I Ever Had Was My Mother

My Mother and Literacy

The first teacher I ever had was my mother (Stephanie). From tying my shoes to my ABC's she taught me so many things throughout my life. Enhancing how literacy fit into my life was one major thing my mom did for me. Similar to the reading Superman and Me by Alexie; we always had books lying around the house. We would take trips to the library to look for new books and we would attend the summerreading program. My mom would have me read anything and everything; menus, recipes, street signs, and books. Reading became an everyday thing for me. My mother has had a monumental impact on my love for literacy. She has shaped and molded the way I view Literacy and how it fit into my life. There were three major moments in my childhood that I remember where the books she had me read were extremely influential on my stance towards literacy.

Sometime before I started preschool my mother bought a book that had a colossal impact on literacy in my life. I remember my mother coming into my room at bedtime to read me a new and exciting book. The book had a pink background with a large coconut tree on it, also it had multi–color letters all around the tree I will never forget this line; "Chicka Chicka Boom Boom will there be enough at the top of the coconut tree.". I did the same as Alexie did with his superman book, how he would read it again and again; at bedtime every night for at least two months my mom would come into my room and read "Chicka Chicka Boom Boom"

My Mother And Mother

My mother was my primary caregiver throughout all of my childhood. While my father was in the picture for a majority of my childhood, he was also a severe alcoholic which greatly impacted my upbringing. My rules, obligations, and expectations were not always set in stone and did often depend on the time, situation, and/or mood of my parents. I think it is normal for parents to differ slightly in their parenting styles occasionally. As a young kid I remember my sister and I being very aware that the mood mymother was in greatly contributed to the outcome of a question or event. I think most, if not all of us can relate to this. Overall however, I would say that my mother had an authoritative parenting style. My mother made is very clear that she was the parent and in charge, however she was welcoming and understanding enough that I felt comfortable coming to her with questions or problems. My mom was also very encouraging and supportive. She always pushed me to do my best but never made me feel bad if I did not reach my goals. I was lucky to have such a great relationship with my mom, not everyone does. As a young teenager I had many friends who would come to me with questions and concerns because they knew my mom was so open–minded and understanding. My mom was always my parent first and my friend second. I knew what was expected of me and I was disciplined for bad behavior, however I always knew I could go to her with anything I needed. My father, like many addicts was Get more content

The purpose of this paper is to introduce, discuss, and analyze the book "Mother to Mother" by Sindiwe Magona. Specifically, it will critically analyze the book. The book "Mother to Mother" is a touching and elegant story of race relations and misunderstanding in South Africa. The author bases her book on a true incident, but looks at it from the eyes of a mother who loves her son but recognizes his inadequacies. It is a devastating look at apartheid, violence, and anger in a society long split between black and white. Well–written with emotion and pathos, it is a book that discovers the difficulties of reconciliation and continuing with life after the death of a loved one. This emotional book looks at...show more content...

Clearly, she should have known the dangers of what she was doing, rather than looking at her situation only idealistically. Mandisa, the mother in the story, does not make excuses for her son, she knows his act was reprehensible, but she does understand his young life has been filled with despair, betrayal, and difficulty. She notes, "Understand the people among whom he has lived all his life. Nothing my son does surprises me any more. Not after that first unbelievable shock, his implanting himself inside me; unreasonably and totally destroying the me I was. The me I would have become" (Magona). Mandisa gave birth to her son when she was only fifteen, and it changed her life, just as it would change the young white girl's life eventually. In an interview about the book, author Magona elaborates: It is a well–known fact that children of children are at high risk of not finishing school. Mandisa is a perfect example of the success of apartheid she is the perfect product of that system her talent is stillborn; so is that of her children. Society will never benefit from the gifts they brought to the world. I firmly believe no child is born without potential. Thus, by neglecting the young, we deny ourselves great blessings and

What can one say about their mother? One may talk about her positive and negative characteristics. There are so many great traits I love and admire about my mom, that it would be difficult and unfair to write about just one. Being strong, generous and optimistic are all some great personality traits, which my mother possesses.

Ever since I can remember, my mother has been a strong individual. She raised my brother and I financially, emotionally, physically and spiritually by herself. My mom gave her all, by that I mean, she worked two jobs to make sure her children ate properly and that they had the essential amenities to grow happily and successfully. Another way she supported us was with love and care. My mom...show more content... She would encourage me by simply saying, "Complaining is a useless way to solve problems, but becoming active on the issue is a great way to conquer it. My mother My mother has always had strong faith and views in her religion. When I was younger, every day and night, she would bring prayer time to me and my brother's attention. My mom instilled As a child, my mother displayed the seriousness of spirituality. In which she expressed her faith in us at an early age, that prayer time was not the time to make jokes nor to complain about having to partake in it. One lesson she taught us the most, was how seriousness about our spiritual beliefs could provide us with a substantial, stable and structural lifestyle.

My mother's heart is at its purest when giving. I witnessed my mother chip in and pay for people's rent, car notes, and buying them groceries. Although my mother's intentions were good, occasionally, her generosity has been taken advantage of. One time a close friend of thefamily, came to my mother in desperate need. He asked her to loan him a large amount of money, with the agreement that he would pay back in either monthly or weekly installments. My mom never did see the money that was due to her. Despite the incident she still gives and encourages others to give, whether is it a donation, or volunteering your time in your community. My

My mother is the most diligent worker I know and I highly respect her for that. My mom, sister, and I moved across the globe to find better opportunities for jobs and Education. She worked two jobs as a single mother, and was still able to take care of and support my sister and me in anything we aspired to do. Being a mother itself is difficult enough because it is an everyday job with no brakes or vacation. She is the person who inspires me and the person who motivates me to do my best at everything I do. To her, my sister and I's happiness was worth more to her than her own and for that I truly believe she is the best person in the world. Even when things get hard for her, she does not take time out for herself. During the death of my grandfather, she had no time to grieve over him because she told us that she has work to keep my sister and I fed and happy. That was when I realized that if she is going through all the gruelling effort just to keep me and my sister happy, then my goal in life would just to give back to her by making her proud of me. With her as my motivation I joined things that would make her proud. Freshmen year, I auditioned for thehigh school traveling band, which was a truly challenging band to get into. I was one of only six freshmen to get in. Joining that band allowed me to experience my first time traveling with the school across the country to perform at Carnegie Hall in New York, one of the most prestigious halls to perform in the world.

It is often said that, "Man's work ends at sun set. Women's work is never done." With sixty–three million women working and 62% of those women maintaining families, most women would this statement very true (AFL–CIO). While women are expanding their lives to include a career, they must also maintain their traditional roles at home. This combination of housework and career–work is the reason why working mothers today have more stress than working fathers. Mothers may work in an office from nine to five, but their work does not end at the office. After working an eight–hour day, amother will come home to take care of her children, husband, and house. Women remain the primary caretaker and housekeeper...show more content... Also, since husbands generally work eight more hours a week than their wives do, they tend to miss out on responsibilities, such as feeding their children dinner and breakfast. "Men miss out on meal chores and those tend to be very stressful" says Dr. Barnett (Kelly). More often than not, women's work interferes with family while for men family interferes with work (Bianchi 171). This is because women tend to put family first, and therefore, they feel extra pressure to do well for their family when coming home from work. This feeling only adds to a working mother's stress.

Taking care of the elderly is very similar to the demand of taking care of one's children (Bianchi 180). With women now having children later in life, they find themselves responsible for the care of their young children and elderly parents, if they require care, at the same time. One–half of elderly peoples' caregivers work outside of the home and one quarter of them have children at home who require care (Garrett). Whether your parents are living in a nursing facility or at home, it is undeniable the amount of work it takes to care for a loved one. Many elderly people require assistance with medication, eating, and bathing as well as a long list of simple every day tasks. For anyone this is a pretty big responsibility, but imagine caring for a person in such a manner along with caring for one's home and family.

Mother Tongue Literary Analysis

The literary narrative Mother Tongue is written by a Chinese American author named Amy Tan. The story discusses the challenges she faced growing up speaking Chinese and English. "Amy discusses several examples of how the English language has different variations when spoken, and how her English has evolved over time by interacting with others and the acceptance version used by Americans as a whole in comparison to what Amy describes her mother speaking as 'broken' or 'fractured' English"(Tan,78). Due to her mother's fragmented English, she faces criticism and prejudice and how it has affected her everyday life. Therefore highlighting the biggest theme of the book, Amy Tan's "Mother Tongue" discusses the links between language and identity. The story begins with Amy's experience using the "different English's". In a book club meeting, Amy talks about her writing pieces, her life experiences, and her book. "The talk was going well enough, until I remembered one major difference that made the whole talk sound wrong. My mother was in the room. And it was perhaps the first time she had heard me give a lengthy speech, using the kind of English I have never used with her" (Tan, 178). While growing up my mother's limited English limited my perception of her. Tan was ashamed of her mother's English, she felt her own English was being affected by the English her mother spoke. Many of Tan's friends had a difficult time understanding what her mother way saying, because of this

This could never have been an option for poverty stricken citizens.

"In contrast with homeowners, renters are dependent on their landlords to carry out activities that can reduce disaster vulnerabilities, such as making routine repairs and improvements, complying with building and safety codes, and carrying out specific disaster loss–reduction measures" (Tierney, 2006, pg. 113). Citizens that live in poverty main objectives are; paying the rent to have a rough over their heads and having food on the table. Their financial instabilities does not provide them the luxuries of providing additional improvising to reduce disaster vulnerabilities. Additionally, many can't even afford to evacuate; regardless, if the evacuation becomes mandated. Financially, they do not have the additional financial resource to "just get up and go". History has shown that a majority of this financial factors, are amongst specific races and ethnicity. Race

I could say I have many mentors in my life, but my most important mentor is my mom. A mentor to me is someone who critically guides you through your life decisions and provokes endless learning from their life experiences and wisdom. The only person who meets my idea of a mentor is my mom. I have known her since birth and have always felt loved and cared by her. She gives me every tool I could possibly need to succeed through primary school and onto postsecondary schooling. She has always given me words of encouragement, been honest when I am in the wrong, and has always pushed me to reach my potential. I went to my mom on a Sunday, which is family day in our house. We went out to lunch with my brother since he was visiting from college, and I got the opportunity to ask my mom about her views on Mitch's and my topics. In my conversation with my mom we talked about three topics; A meaningful life, Family, and Education. Mitch's first topic was what it means to have a meaningful life. My mom believes that what it means to have a meaningful life, is that it should not be defined by money or other people's opinions. But rather it should be defined by your happiness and compassion for the things you do in your everyday life. When discussing Mitch's second topic, family, my mom believes that the most important thing is that family is there for you to be honest, and to be critical of your decisions in life. We both agreed they should be supportive of your passions and beliefs,

Every mother would like to see her child succeed in life. The following passage from the poem, "Mother to Son", by Langston Hughes demonstrates the love and concern a mother has for her son. She teaches him using her own life as an example; her life as a climb up a staircase. The imagery from the advice given in the stanza is explicit and poignant: Well, son, I'll tell you: Life for me ain't been no crystal stair. It's had tacks in it, And splinters, And boards all torn up, And places with no carpet on the floor– Bare (line 1–7). The metaphor in this poem conjoins life, and a staircase, "Well, son, I'll tell you:/ life for me ain't been no crystal stair." The mother says to her son, that...show more content... Her life, as a stair, had splinters in it. When a person steps on a splinter, he or she might scream because it hurts. It is an irritating fragment of wood that anyone would want to remove from his of her skin. Since her life is full of splinters, it is full of frustrating tribulations. As splinters, tribulations are inevitable obstacles in her life that she has had to stumble upon but desperately wants to have resolved. Contrast to a crystal stair, the mother climbs the stairs with boards that are torn up. In life, not only is it hazardous for a person to climb a staircase with boards that are torn up but also very deadly. There are usually yellow cautions signs to warn people to avoid such stairways. But the mother has no such pleasure because she has to climb such stairs in order to endure in her already troubled life. For example, although it was dark, and dangerous to be out, the mother does not have a choice of not going to work because she must work to pay her bills. The tacks, the splinters, the torn up boards, all are used to relate the hardships of the mother's life to the hard times of climbing up tattered stairs. Contrast to someone's home that has had a crystal stair, her home is impoverished with uncarpeted floors. With tattered stairs, the mother also illustrates her floor as being bare. Finally, "Bare," one word sentence is used to describe her life.

In Mother Tongue, an essay written by Amy Tan, the fictional author explains how we all speak different languages and how we are all categorized and treated differently by the way we speak. She gives us examples and stories that have happened to her and how they made her become "fascinated by language in daily life."The author states, "I spend a great deal of my time thinking about the power of language– the way it can evoke an emotion, a visual image, a complex idea, or a simple truth." In paragraphs 1 and 2, the authors begins by tellings the readers that she has always loved language and how it is used by people in everyday life and she uses daily language as a part of her work. In paragraph 3 the explains how during one her talks to a large group of people she realizes how she also uses different Englishes. Amy realized this because when she was talking to the group her mom had come to listen to her and she thought about how she talked to her mom compared to how she talks to other people, in particular, the large group of people. This opened her eyes to a whole other realm on how she uses her English while talking to her mom with "broken" English the one she grew up with, and then speaking to others with standard English that she was taught in school and in books. Amy quoted what her mother said about a political gangster that showed up at her mother's wedding. To me it was very hard to understand and had to reread it twice to try to make out what she was trying to say. I am not the only one who thinks that. "You should know that my mother's expressive command of English belies how much she actually understand." Amy explains that her mom can read " the Forbes report, listens to Wall Street Week, converses daily with her stockbroker, reads all of Shirley MacLaine's books with ease," but Amy can't understand them. Amy's mom can understand a lot of English but when she speaks English, some of Amy's friends can barely understand any of it. Amy states that some only understand 80 to 90 percent while others understand none of what she is saying when she talks. The upside to this is that this formed Amy to see things differently in the world. When Amy was younger she was ashamed of her mother's "broken" or

My Mother, My Friend It is not easy, moving back home with your parents as an adult. Especially when you are the parent of grown children yourself. Due to circumstances beyond my control, that is what I had to do. Although I had been out of my parents home for over thirty years and had been married (and divorced) moving back home kind of felt like I had never left. I believe that is because my parents were treating me as though I was the unruly teenager I once was. That and the fact I was in MY bedroom.

The three communication concepts I will focus on are, 1. Becoming a better listener, 2, Expressing myself to her in a way she can better understand and 3. Paying better attention to her nonverbal cues. I love my mother dearly, and want to be able to communicate with her the best we can. My mother is one of the most important people in my life.

She listens to all of my problems and reassures me when my insecurities essentially come out in a generally major way. She's also very determined, when she mostly puts her mind to something, she exceeds basically past her goals, pretty contrary to popular belief. She kind of is not just my mom she for the most part is also my really the best friend in a for all intents and purposes major way.

She really has for all intents and purposes many different mannerisms. When she's happy she essentially bounces off the walls like a kid on Halloween night, generally further showing how she doesn't judge people based on their race, weight, sexuality, etc, fairly further showing how when she particularly was younger she basically had kind of big hair because she kind of lived in the 80's in a subtle way. When she's sad she doesn't show it because she can very timid, so she wore leg warmers and fairly bright neon colors in a pretty major way. When she's angry she will essentially let you know, demonstrating that she actually puts her foot down and generally holds her ground when she particularly has to, pretty further showing how she really was a very stylish teenager, which mostly is quite significant. When she's proud, she tells me and generally makes generally sure I basically know she literally loves me in a particularly big

Frances Harper is a respected American figure who wrote works regarding abolition and educational equality. As the child of two free black parents, she had a passionate view on racial equality. After seeing her help slaves escape through the Underground Railroad and publish a myriad of anti–slavery newspapers, people began to deem her as the mother of African American journalism. Her poem The Slave Mother depicts the relationship between an enslaved mother and her child. The mother's servitude restricts the encounters that she is able to have with her son.

Born in Salem, Massachusetts, Nathaniel Hawthorne was a part of a deep Puritan family. His ancestors, William and John Hawthorne, were harsh judges in the Puritan society of the 17th century, so Nathaniel Hawthorne decided to add a "w" to his family name to distance himself from their notoriety. In order to create a legacy for himself, Hawthorne began to writefiction. His fame arose from his mastery of the art of allegories and symbolism within his works. Besides The Scarlet Letter, another famous work by Hawthorne is "The Birthmark." "The Birthmark" is a short story that implores people to be grateful for the achievements they have obtained. In the short story, Hawthorne depicts Aylmer, the main character, as a man completely intrigued by science. However, he finds time to marry a beautiful woman named Georgiana. One peculiar characteristic of Georgiana is a birthmark in the shape of a hand that is imprinted upon her face. Aylmer tries to remove it from her to perfect her beauty, but in the process, he ends up killing her. The death of Georgiana represents Hawthorne's take on the American dream. The American dream is the idea that every American has the opportunity to achieve success through hard work. "The Birthmark" has an unique way of discussing the American Dream by focusing on the death that the ambition of a character inflicts instead of focusing on the happiness that a character obtains through perseverance. This peculiarity allows Hawthorne to Get more content

Parents are one of the most beautiful things that could happen to anyone. They are always there by your side no matter what; they always want the best for their children. They can be strict and protective, its because they love their kids and they don't want them to get hurt. My parents are special to me because with all the hard time that they had to have me and my siblings in their life they still fought for us and didn't give up, even after 17 years of trying. But for me? The greatest of all is my mom. She is the one that I look up too. She is the greatest of all. Simple, funny, strict, protective, but yet she is the best.

Knowing her for nineteen years of my life. Since the first day that I met her, it's always my...show more content... She prefers that only god knows what's going on, not even her closest sisters know. I learned from her that keeping your sadness and weakness to yourself, because no one lasts for long not even your childhood buddy. Everyone will find a way to leave you somehow, someday, if not today it could be tomorrow if not tomorrow in a thousand years. It's best to keep your weakness to yourself and yourself only, because humans would attack you using your weakness and they could get to you easily. She also always told me no one is your friend except your mom. She says, "Your mom is your best friend". Your mom is your best friend, sister, and your whole life. She helps you be successful and always wants what's best for you and your future. Mothers choose to go through tough times and rocky roads just to make sure that her off sprigs are in a good shape and are in excellent health. Mothers would kill to see their kids in the best condition. If it means that they should give up on them, they would! If your mother is around be appreciated for what you have and thank god that she is

Growing up, I was used to being bombarded by stories from both my mother and father. My mother with her religious stories, and my father with his experiences from when he was a little boy living in Vietnam. What I noticed in all of my mother's stories, was that she was trying to get a certain message across. Be good. If there is anything that my mother is more stern on then studies, it would be on being a "good" person that knows their morals and can perfectly execute and stand by it. My mother's definition of "good", is being selfless, caring, and honest, by being so you will be rewarded by having to the choice to go to Heaven, or to get reincarnated into a higher position in society. My mother made it her duty to raise me with the same morals as her since she believed that hers was "right". She believed that the perfect human being was one that was always willing to give and one who was always honest....show more content...

He does not know whether or not God or exists, or if there is a higher being, but what he does know is he saw a ghost, which lead him to believe in an afterlife. My father's way of thinking is similar to that Aristotle's. Aristotle believed that through our senses, we will find truth. That first, we use senses, and then use reason afterwards to categorize the things we experience. My father used his senses, sight, to establish that there is an afterlife.

My mother is like my father, in the sense that they both believe in an afterlife. However, unlike my father, my mother is a very religious woman who is very faithful to her Catholic beliefs, although with some altercations. My mother believes that when a person dies, they will get to have the choice of whether they want to go to Heaven, or get reincarnated into a person with a higher social standing in

It takes more than one person to have a child. The mother does carry the baby through a long nine months, but she does need help sometimes. The father has his own special way to care for his newborn. When a baby comes into the world it needs a lot of care and attention. This is a lot of pressure on the mother all alone. This is why fathers need to get paternity leave along with his wife or mother of his child. There are biological, legal, and even moral reasons why a father should have time off to spend with his new baby. They say a woman becomes a mother when she finds out that she is expecting, and a man becomes a father the first time he holds his baby. After a month a baby is able to tell apart his or her mom and dad. For decades, psychologists and other researchers assumed that the mother–child bond was the most important bond in a child's life. Within the last several decades scientists are increasingly realizing just how much dads matter. Just like women, fathers' bodies respond to parenthood, and their parenting style affects their kids just as much, and sometimes more, than mom's. When one person is at home with a new baby and the other remains at work, they can start living in different worlds and have less to talk about. The stay–at–home mom wants to discuss the baby's milestones and the working dad, while interested, misses their dinner conversations about the workplace. If parents can afford to take maternity and paternity leave simultaneously, it can benefit

Growing up I've always had my mom and my grandmother taking care of me but, at times my mom would always have to work and I hated it. My mom worked late hours or went in early in the morning. Everyday I always wondered why did she have to leave, why couldn't she just stay home with us, was it that hard for her to just stay home? My granny did her very best taking care of us and I loved her so much for that. There was still always this though in my head everyday that i always thought of and that was "would mommy ever take off work and spend more time with us".

The story of my father he was not in my life much until i got older around 6 or 7 year old. Most of the time i really wasn't worried about my father being in my life, but sometimes...show more content...

Her grandmother showed her all the love and care she need that her mother and father should have showed her and she was very happy that she did have her. Janie's grandmother did anything she could to make sure she was well taken care of and happy. She wanted her to be a successful head in the books type of girl but all Janie wanted was for a man to love her. If Janie had her father to love her like he should then i think she would not be out trying to find it. Her grandmother clearly loved her enough and that's all she needed but that was not what Janie wanted.

Me and Janie and everyone else have been through many struggles but it's always that one struggle that hits you the hardest. The situation with my mother i really didn't handle it to well i was young and i wanted my mommy to be around her more often i missed her very much every hour she was gone, when she came home I was always happy. My father situation i handled it well simply because, sometimes I really did not care most . I took this with me through my life because as i got older i started to learn that my mother had no choice but to work because of the thing we wanted and needed. I will use this memory for my to make sure that (If I have children) they will know that mommy has to work to provide for them and to make sure that they have a father that will be with them throughout their

Name: Zoey Tan Wei Lin (32) Class: 2 Endurance Date: 7 March 2011 A Day in the Life of My Mother A day in the life of my mother when she was my age was not easy. So a day in her teenager life starts like this. Early in the morning, about five thirty a.m., I wake up and found a warm blanket on top of me. 'Father had waked up and had covered me, again, in his warm blanket.' I thought. Anyway, I had to get up and help father in his humble little moveable cart that sell rojak, a mixtures of tropical fruits, such as pineapple and so on. So I got up, get dress and was ready. I got out of my room which I shared with four other siblings, my second sister, my younger sister, my second brother and my youngest brother. My...show more content...

We also play with fire crackers. But nowadays I did not play so much, instead, I go to people's park complex to look for either my aunt or my second sister. My second sister was working there as a tailor which I think I might soon join her as I could choose to be either a tailor or a hairdresser but I think i will choose to be a tailor instead of a hairdresser. Because I think it might suit me more. My aunt has a shop there, at the people's park complex, selling beads, laces and other decorative materials used in sewing. So every night I will drop by there to help out and maybe my aunt will give one to five cents for me to buy sweets but I always save it up in a biscuit tin. Then, I will go home with my sister. And on the way home we will cross one bridge that is very dark and we will always run across it sometimes there noises on it we will scream saying there is a ghost. And when we finally reach home, I will be so tired and will go off to bed. So those were the fond memories my mother had when she was a young adult but her life was not that easy after all. However, she was strong enough and had braved through all difficulties. When I first asked her about her life her first was not good, very bad but her optimist kept her going on. My mother will always be my top number one
