Character Profile for the Mother-in-Law
I will be discussing the Mother-In-Law in this extract in the first person. I am a lady of about 60 years of age, and I am a low-class peasant, shown by the behaviour of my son, and how I address him. I will use a country accent, as I live on the other side of the mountain to Grusha and the play's other characters. I will adopt a slightly hunch-backed posture to emphasise my age. I will also adopt a slightly creaky, whining tone of voice.
We first see the Mother in Law attempted to hurry along her son's wedding because she is concerned that she won't get paid if he dies before the wedding is completed. To emphasise my sense of urgency, I would move my

Once Lavrenti has promised to add 200 piastres to the money I will be receiving, I will instantly cheer up, by taking my hands off my eyes and adopting my normal, less squeaked, tone of voice. I will then adopt a matter-of-fact manner, glaring at Yussup to complain that the money is still not enough. I will then turn towards Grusha, placing stress on the word 'hope' by saying it slightly louder than the other words to emphasise how much I want her to help me with the funeral expenses. When I come to the part of my speech about people finding out that Yussup's end is near, I will speak more quickly, coming to a loud climax on the word 'necks'. I will then threaten Lavrenti, that is to say that when I say 'he mustn't see the child', I will wave my index finger in his direction, glaring at him, and with menace in my voice on the word 'mustn't', because, essentially, I am telling him that I will be very angry if the monk sees the child and need to avoid this at all costs.
When I say 'He's just as good', in reference to the monk, I will hesitate slightly, stammering on this phrase, as I don't really mean it and know that I have hired a cheap monk to maximise the amount of money I gain. I will also look downwards in order not to meet Lavrenti's eyes. I will then rush off, still avoiding his gaze, so I don't have
Black (2014) states that “person” is a word used to describe a man, woman, or child individually (p. 242). I describe myself as a compassionate and caring person because I
The community resides within a Buddhist temple, so Buddhist beliefs in theory lead the monks to treat the children well. Monks traditionally are not, allowed to talk about sex, which made it difficult at first for government to approve them working with HIV/AIDS patients. Nobody wanted this virus to spread so talking to children about this would be the best idea. Gail says, “Vandin told me that in the beginning the Ministry of Cults and Religion did not approve of the monks’ participation in the AIDS training programs. Traditionally, it was not considered proper for monks to talk about sex. So Vandin lobbied district and provincial governors, who then petitioned the ministry to support the project” (Gutradt 126-127). The Buddhist practice offers incense to offer the souls of the dead (Gutradt 14). Wayne makes them go to Saturday services to try to teach them a lesson. He explains, “The chanting is the same each week and it is boring unless you realize the importance of the discipline the monks are teaching. The words have no meaning, the chant has no power, the Buddha is dead… but by doing the chanting we are gaining control of our mind, even if it is for one hour a week, and as we learn to control our life, the Buddha (Universal Knowledge) awakens within us and we begin to realize all that He did, and our life becomes meaningful as a result’” (Gutradt 120-121). After the memorial service, Wayne and Gail

On the road of life, many trials arise that one must overcome to make his or her life feel complete. In Langston Hughes’s poem, “Mother to Son,” these trials are a subject of concern for one mother. Hughes’ “ability to project himself” is seen in his use of dialect, metaphors, and tone (Barksdale 3).
Baby suggs and Sethe are both the Mother figues in beloved and despite their suffering from slavery they both cared for their children greatly. Baby Suggs and Sethe connected through Motherhood to develop a close bond. They shared the love for their children a bond that all mothers can relate with. Sethe has four children that she loves very much but she could not deal with her past of sweet home. Sethe could not bare for that to happen to her children so she had to save them from the schoolteacher and slavery by trying to kill them. She kills one child whom is referred to as beloved for what is written on her tomb stone, but fails to kill howard buglar, and Denver. Sethe motherly natural instincts caused her

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:
The speaker of the poem “Mother to Son,” by Langston Hughes is a mother who is giving advice to her son. Her life has been difficult and hard at times. As readers, we know this because the speaker talks about how life is a staircase and her staircase has had “tacks and splinters in it” (line 3-4). This means that her life has not been perfect and she had many challenges to deal with. Perhaps she was born into poverty, because the images in her poem reveal a ragged, old staircase, like you might find in a decrepit, old building. Further, the speaker’s accent reveals that the speaker was not well-educated when she was younger, such as when she says “I'se been a-climbin' on” (line 9) which is not proper English. Since

Any women can be a mother but it takes someone special to be a mother. Having someone in your life who means so much to you is a blessing. My Mom, Fatima was born on June 4, 1973.

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 mother Christy Rehn has many great qualities that make up who she is today. First, to give a physical description; she is a female and is 44 years old about 5’5 .
