Luna Clover And Fashion Model Malia Clover

This type of upbringing would lead one to believe that her life would not amount to anything and torn by the fact that she was not residing with her family. However, subconsciously, when she needed reassurance, her paternal mother’s words to her would always surface in her mind, “Sunshine, you’re my baby and I’m your only mother, but you must obey the one taking care of you but she is not your mama”.

    The commonly known phrase “like mother, like daughter” holds very true with all the pairs of mothers and daughters in The Joy Luck Club.  Rose posses important characteristics that were passed on by her mother, An-mei.  Uniquely with this couple, the trait can also be traced back to An-mei’s mother.  All three of these women have difficulty

     Eventually Lara learns to overcome and put her mother's death behind her. Her mother was gone and Lara had finally accepted it. Lara can now get on with her life. Lara can feel strong and happy.

The elves had given her one of his mother's nightgowns to wear. In the white lace, clean from any dirt and grime, her honey blonde hair no longer matted and mangled, Luna looked absolutely ethereal in the moonlight. She walks over to him and he holds his arms out, to which Luna accepts their invitation, seating herself on his lap.

The main idea of the book is that Luna’s mother and father had so many secrets and

This made me think about what I would do if my mother died. I believe I would probably be very sad, but I would also keep moving in life. I can’t just stop what I am doing because someone has died -- my aunt’s death already taught me that. Everyone has to go sometime; that time will come sooner or later -- it’s inevitable. Starting anew every time someone close dies is a bad idea, because one will never get anything done that way. (84

Ally’s mother, however, must know the anger Ally feels when people treat her like a baby or like she is different. By the way Ally describes her moms reaction to her stating she needs to go upstairs, readers can tell her moms understanding, “‘Mother is looking at your face-you cannot look yourself, yet you can always feel Mother’s look; now she is

She had a bad attitude which made things much worse as she would constantly get into trouble. “Ama would push her hair back, hand me my sweater and shoes, and tell me to go to Mama Luna's. This was to avoid another fight and another whipping, I knew” (33), this showed the narrator having to go to her Grandma’s house as a normal routine in which she had gotten used to. She would not argue with going to her Grandmas’ because she enjoyed the little things she would do with her grandma. She felt a sense of pride and full of joy when being along her side. “I always felt her gray eye on me. It made me feel, in a strange sort of way, safe and guarded and not alone. Like God was supposed to make you feel” (33). These were only things she experienced when being with her grandma. Although they would hardly talk, she would feel happy because she knew her grandma was happy for her too. This was an interest in which the narrator took great joy in. With things such as cooking, cleaning or running errands for her grandma she was able to be herself and enjoy the time in which she spent there.

Mothers are great people to have in young children’s lives. Maggie’s and Dee’s mother kills cows for them to have food on the table. She makes sure she can cook and be strong for her daughters. No matter what problem they have, their mama makes sure they are safe. Their Mama and mine share the similarities of how hardworking our mothers are. Since I am the first child, it was just me and my mother in one apartment where she worked two jobs to make a living. Then when my sister came along, my mother went back to college to get a better job. She put us before herself and she was just 30 years old. The mother in “Everyday Use” has a favorite child, and it is Dee. The difference between my mother and Dee’s mother is that my mother did not have a favorite. My mother treated her daughters with equal respect and equal amounts of

Cheryl writes “Nothing could ever bring my mother back or make it okay that she was gone. Nothing would ever put me beside her the moment she died. It broke me up. It cut me off. It tumbled me end over end” (Strayed 27).

She really just tries to picture how her father is feeling and what it’s like to lose her father. She just feels so bad and wants to hold her dad in her arms. The hardest part for her is the fact that she has to try to explain it to her younger siblings why they won’t be able to go out and play that day and try to explain what happened. I know for a fact that she has just the warmest heart towards her family and that it’s everything. I can just tell. Having to go to Mexico for a funeral and explaining that while trying to keep your own father calm; is tough but she’s tough enough to help and get through that situation.

In real life situations it is usually a mother who first recognizes when something in wrong with their child. Mothers have this natural instict to detect when something is going wrong in their children's life. This very quote reminds me of when my mother had to tell me to slow down when I kept pushing myself to get up and go to work everyday even when I was as sick as a dog. My mom would tell me that I need to slow down. I would work everytime the hours were avaliable to me, even if I had just worked a 12 hour shift the day before. I didn't slow down for anyone or for anything, even if I was sick I still wanted to make my money and do my job correctly. My mother finally realized that I had dark circles under my eyes and my cough had turned much worst over the days. My mother had to repeatedly tell me over and oever again to get some rest until I finally took her advice. In my own life experience one can see that Minerva is no stronger then any average human being such as myself. Minerva needed

However, with all these flaws she had, she made them up by being the bright, sarcastic and carefree girl that her family knew her for all her life, and even in her final moments.
