In the motion picture, Mississippi Masala, Nair (1992) presents the story of a family from India who was residing in Uganda and whom was forced to leave the country because the government of that country did not want individuals from foreign heritage living in Uganda. This family was forced to move because of their heritage and skin color. In the effort to find a new life, the family sets roots in the United States, in the state of Mississippi, where their only daughter Meena fell in love with Demetrius, a self-employed African American carpet cleaner. When the family discovered that Meena and Demetrius had fallen in love, the family members from both sides were devastated. In Meena’s case, her reputation as an Indian was being questioned, and in Demetrius case, his business was being jeopardized for falling in love with someone from a different culture. Jay, Meena’s dad decided that it was time to move back to Uganda so his daughter would not be married to a black person. However, Meena decided to stay with Demetrius, even without her parents’ consent (Nair, 1992).

Miss Rosa describes her niece, Judith Sutpen, as "a woman more strange to me than to any grief for being so less its partner" (120). Judith is a woman well-acquainted with suffering, losing first her mother, then her fiancé at the hand of her brother, and finally her father. She watches her family 's wealth disintegrate as a result of the heavy toll exacted by the Civil War, and eventually becomes accustomed to tending her own garden, spinning her own thread, and weaving her own cloth as the poor would do (125), since the Reconstruction Era showed no discrimination in turning both wealthy and impoverished Southerners into "the poor." Once her childhood has come to a close and the era of desolation has set in, during which she is forced to cope with hardship after hardship, Faulkner begins to consistently portray her as wearing a worn, discolored homemade dress of calico or gingham (plain-woven cotton fabrics). In one sense this represents the poverty that is laying waste to the South and the Sutpen family, but on a deeper level the dress comes to symbolize the deprivation and sorrow which Judith has endured, and specifically her inability or perhaps refusal to emote in response to these tragedies.

School shootings have become most common in the United States with having over 70 shootings since the Columbine Massacre on April 20, 1999. America is the only country that has a lead in the shooting epidemic, and many have questions such as, ‘what are the warning signs of a school shooter or mass murderer?’ As well as wondering if the person could get mental health early in life to prevent anything in the future.

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

It starts off with a tapping of the foot against the floor, in line with with beat of the drum. Then it leads to the swaying of the head and hips as the melody carries on. Like the melody and beat of a song moves the body, the rhythm and meter of a poem moves the soul of the reader. Walt Whitman , Linda Pastan, and William Shakespeare used rhythm to further convey their relationship and attitude towards the theme of their poem. The rhyme schemes in “Had I the Choice”, “Daughter Leaving Home”, and “Let me not to the marriage of true minds” efficiently portray each author’s purpose so multiple themes revolving around bitter love are present.
