“Don't listen to him,” her mother says, taking her hand and leading her inside the small house, closing the door on him. “He'll come around, Awen, you'll see. Please, sit down. We have so much to get caught up on, and I just put dinner in the oven.”

We are most curious when we are babies. Curiosity is defined as an act of wanting to learn. As babies, we see, touch, hear, taste, and feel the world around us. As babies grow, their minds start to develop and they imagine the world as their fairytale. This stage of a child is wonderful, but dangerous. It is the time when they begin to experiment with what the world has to offer, thus their creative mind is born. A child sees sand for the first time and is curious about it so he or she experiments with it. The child plays with it and creatively builds a sand castle out of it, he or she feels it, smells it, then tastes it, the child will either experience satisfaction of the taste or dissatisfaction. Later on the child may feel a pain in his

The next morning she went to the hotel and made a reception. That night she stayed at the hotel so she can get used to sleeping there. The problem was that she was so excited that she wasn’t able to sleep. She was thinking to herself, “Oh my god tomorrow is the big day, the day where I get to meet my idol face to face.” For Isabella it was a long night because she thought about the speech.

Judith Wright’s poem “Mother to Child” is about a woman’s emotions during the different stages of motherhood. It tells the audience that the bond between a mother and her child is very powerful and that it changes as the child grows. Wright shows us this through her use of imagery, symbolism and the structure of her poem. The use of those three elements of literature help communicate the love the woman has for her child and how their connection grows stronger as time goes on.

Josephine Tey’s Daughter of Time is a story that gives the reader a role in being a detective, filling in Sherlock Holmes 's shoes but with a twist. Within the first few chapters we meet Alan Grant, a famous inspector from England 's Scotland Yard. He is confined in a hospital after sustaining an injury, leaving him immensely bored during his recovery there. Where he would trace and map out ceiling cracks for hours; after awhile he became acquainted with the nurses that would come in and out of his room. His actress friend Marta brings printed materials for Grant to read but he would reject them, the reason is not known. His antsy behavior shows that he craves a mental challenge. Grant eventually got what he wanted; Marta suggested that he should try solving an old mystery that no one has managed to solve. She brings him pictures, portraits of faces from different historical eras. During his recovery, he spends time analyzing the collection that Marta provides him. It’s clear that Grant adopts Carr’s and Elton’s methodology into solving this case and without either of them it wouldn’t be possible.

Ellen Wiley Todd, the author of The "New Woman" Revised: Painting and Gender Politics on Fourteenth Street, skillfully combines historical content based on insights that span gender studies, art history, cultural ideologies and social theories, in her interpretation of Isabel Bishop’s paintings of the Office Girls. This series of paintings by Isabel Bishop (1902-1988) portray female office workers who were representative of the demographics and the expectations of urban American office girls working during the Depression. While interpreting the works of Isabel Bishop, who was considered a pioneer in her representation of the modern woman in art, Todd sheds light on the plight of young working women of New York’s Union Square.

According to research women who have had an abortion were 37% more likely to experience depression, 110% more likely to abuse alcohol, 155% more likely to commit suicide and 220% more likely to abuse marijuana (Jaslow). Women who go through the experience of terminating a pregnancy often face some form of decline in their mental health. It is understandable after going through something that is so permanent and potentially traumatic to react in such a way that negatively affects a person’s state of mind. Whether the termination is involuntary or by choice, it will likely lead to a change in the mental state of the person involved. In the poem “The Mother” the author, Gwendolyn Brooks, shows what a mother who has

Elle’s mother sleeps in much later now with father’s gradual absence. The day was still young, fresh like the dew on the ground, and Elle figured she still had some time to leave the house. She opened her bedroom window, struggled a bit to lift her tiny legs over and out the window, but she managed. She walked to the bus stop and got on the bus

In chapter four, Melina explores the effects of separating moral action and salvation, as well as the way that this rupture can be fixed. Melina thinks that the Lutheran view of justification (i.e. that faith alone “saves” a person) has contributed negatively to the erroneous idea that moral actions do not contribute to salvation. This Protestant perspective reduces morality to a secular problem that is solely interested in the earthly welfare of society and its civil well-being. The result of this kind of thinking is that charity ceases to be a virtue and it therefore loses its connection to salvation. Charity is then exclusively associated with care for the temporal welfare of others which subsequently leads to morality becoming either social utilitarianism (like proportionalism) or philanthropic altruism. This utilitarian or proportionalist position is premised on two aspects: the “rightness” of a person’s action and the “goodness” of his intention. This proportionalist relationship between intention and action unfortunately leads to a transcendental fundamental option, which sees man as a “spirit” that
