One photo of a man holding a baby sparked this whole debate about Mexican fathers. The impression of Mexican men was that they were not active in their children’s lives.

Some thought the man holding the baby looked tender; while others believed the photo looked forced and unrealistic. The people of Mexican culture saw nothing odd about the photo. The ones who questioned it were people from other areas of the world and anthropologists.

I was born in Merida, Mexico. That special day my father was in prison, he would leave our family by my fourth birthday. It would take me eight years to reunite with him in America.

Almost every woman in North America has some form of a relationship with their daughter and/or mother in their lifetime. However, these relation can vary in amiability and affection. Whether due to similarities or differences in personality or circumstances in life, mothers and daughters can be close confidants or fierce foes. These familial relationships have been studied in part by Marianne Hirsch and Sharon M. Varallo in their essays on “the familial gaze” and “the genre of family photographs,” respectively. In this essay, I will be using the work previously done by Hirsch and Varallo to analyze two different mother-daughter relationships presented in the television show Gilmore Girls. The two relationships differ vastly in their outward appearance, however both relationships show underlying characteristics of both friendship and animosity. Overall, these two mother-daughter relationships demonstrate that the love between a mother and a daughter can be expressed in various ways.

Maria Luisa had bigger things in mind for her baby girl rather than living in a city where poverty is a major subject of matter.

Your home reflects your identity and your taste -- but it may not feel like home to a prospective buyer. Simplify your home décor to appeal to a wide variety of tastes when preparing to sell your house. 1. Take your family photos down from the walls. They are undoubtedly beautiful, but you want buyers to imagine their own family portraits hanging there. 2. If you are repainting for a fresh, clean effect, choose a light color. To make the room seem even brighter, paint the ceiling a lighter color than the walls. 3. Use lighting to make the proportions of the room look their best. If a room is too wide, brighter lighting at the narrow ends will widen it visually. If, on the other hand, the room is too narrow, having brighter lights on the wide sides will bring it into balance. 4. If some rooms seem a bit dark, place spotlights on the floor behind the furniture. The extra light will brighten the room without adding a conspicuous number of lamps. 5. If your window treatments are outdated or shabby, replace them with simple mini-blinds. 6. Take some of your furniture out of each room.

Don 't leave the house empty, though, even if you 've already moved, as it usually is more difficult to sell a completely empty house. Most buyers find it difficult to imagine their own furniture in a house. Seeing furniture in each room will help them imagine
