Analysis Of ' I Don 't Have A Mama

In my opinion, this is one of the most meaningful passages in the whole book. It provides a lot of information that will help the reader understand and connect to the book more, and it creates a lot of emotion directed to the characters. Firstly, it makes me feel sympathetic towards Mae Mobley, because I bet she is confused to why her mother is so unkind to her. I don't believe it would come to the point where Mae Mobley is heartbroken or angry about it due to her young age, but it will affect her negatively later in life. Lacking a good relationship with parents could form trust issues, emotional attachment issues, and confidence issues.

As we get older we tend to reflect more on our life and get our priorities together. We tend to realize who and what is important, the people who mean the most to us and the ones we can’t live without. Who would those significant individuals be for us? For most people it would be their parents. In the poems “My Father’s Song” by Simon J. Ortiz, and “My Mother” by Ellen Bryant Voigt, both writers express their emotion towards a parent. The poems are similar in many ways simply because they share a parent child relationship, they are also vastly different. “My Fathers Song” is a poem about a son who lost his father and is grieving and referring back to old memories, reflecting on their past and the wonderful time he had with his father. “My Mother” on the other hand is a poem about a daughter who lost her mother and is having a difficult time coping as she reflects on the decisions she made as a child and how that affected her relationship with her mother. Despite their differences, the two poems share a true connection of love towards their parent. Most notably “My Fathers Song” and “My Mother” differ in the relationship with their parent, the settings in which the memories they hold of their parents take place, and who they are mourning over, yet the two have a strong emphasis on love.

Without her father, she had no one to put any order in her life and wasn't going to let anyone else try. "We remembered all the young men her father had driven away, and knew with nothing left, she would have to cling to that which robbed her, as people will" (Faulkner page #).

Recently, I read a blog in the Huffington Post written by Max Mutchnick, the co-creator of “Will and Grace,” entitled “My Daughters Have No Mother.” The title of the article immediately piqued my curiosity. After all, how is it biologically possible to have a daughter without a mother? Sure, I have heard of children enduring tragedies and losing a mother or even cases of mothers abandoning their kids, but to have no mother―impossible.

In the first verse, the young boy begins expressing his feelings to his parents, starting with his mother, “Momma/Come here/Approach/Appear” (11-14). The boy is asking his mother not to leave him and not to just walk away from what is supposed to be important. The child is asking for his mother to stay with him, also not to push the family aside since he needs her to care for him. A child needs a mother to love them, therefore caring for them at all times. The following few lines the boy begins trying to talk with his father about what he is feeling, “Daddy/I’m alone” (15-16). The fighting between his parents has left him with a strong feeling of loneliness. The child feels that all his parents care about is getting away from each other. “’Cause

Analyzing The Scene As a viewer, the most powerful shot that attract my view in the whole movie is when ES’s mother comes to the Kitchen alone at night, takes an ice-cream cone from the fridge and sits on the sofa to eat it. She looks very quiet. What make this scene so powerful and effective is that the kitchen wall was hiding the mother’s face, keeping just part of her body appearing. This is similar to the point that the wall of the Israeli settlement has blocked the faces of the Palestinians from the view of the world, and prevented them from the world.
