"The Mother," by Gwendolyn Brooks, is a sorrowful, distressing poem about a mother who has experienced numerous abortions. While reading the poem, you can feel the pain, heartache, distress and grief she is feeling. She is both remorseful and regretful; nevertheless, she explains that she had no other alternative. It is a sentimental and heart wrenching poem where she talks about not being able to experience or do things with the children that she aborted -- things that people who have children often take for granted. Perhaps this poem is a reflection of what many women in society are feeling.

Mothers around the world have a lot of work on their hands; the task of raising a child is never easy and requires plenty of hardwork as their child is growing up. Authors often describe mothers as a devoted parent and someone who would sacrifice anything for their child, because it’s a stereotype that applies to real life. Readers can relate to the text and understand it, making them want to enjoy the author’s book more. In “Lucinda Matlock” , a poem, and “Everyday Use”, a short story, authors Edgar Lee Masters and Alice Walker create two characters named Lucinda Matlock and Mama. Lucinda Matlock and Mama are two characters from different stories that have similar traits, in that they are dedicated and accepting women. Mama and Lucinda work hard in their lifetimes to provide for themselves in their children, and are dedicated to doing that, and they both accept the way life works and the unfairness that it might throw at a person.

Growing up is phase in which is determined by the parenting aspect, the parent to child bond which varies greatly. Childhood is essential but determined by parenting which influences the child’s later life, everything ties back to each other. Parenting not only can generate but structure a future, a parent’s role in a child life affective, and a child is affected by the absence or presence of a parent. Emmy award winning playwright and poet, Susan Griffin believes that all life is influenced and parenting shadows a child’s future. Feminist author Alison Bechdel noted that the aspect of how close a mother and daughter relationship is could change her life. Childhoods start and end at some point, some faster and some longer but the time in between and after, more so the aspects of relationships, parent to child becomes the shadow of our life.

In a world in which abortion is considered either a woman's right or a sin against God, the poem "The Mother" by Gwendolyn Brooks gives a voice to a mother lamenting her aborted children through three stanzas in which a warning is given to mothers, an admission of guilt is made, and an apology to the dead is given. The poet-speaker, the mother, as part of her memory addresses the children that she "got that [she] did not get" (2). The shift in voice from stanza to stanza allows Brooks to capture the grief associated with an abortion by not condemning her actions, nor excusing them; she merely grieves for what might have been. The narrator's longing and regret over the children she will never have is highlighted by the change in tone

On the seventeenth of November I interviewed my mother, Lori Evans. She is fifty-five years old and has been married for twenty-seven years. She has had and raised three children, Justin, Matthew, and Brianna (me). To me, my mother has a very loving and caring heart. I hope that I am like her someday. I asked my mother questions about her physical, cognitive, social, emotional, and spiritual development.

How Mother Child relationships are depicted in horror Persia Blackwood-Coyle Tutor: H3 Word count: 1412 Due Date: 7th November 2017 It is simply assumed that mothers are filled with protection, nurture, love and care, but why are we so fascinated with threatening mothers who do not fulfil this stereotype and expectation? These reveries around the ‘monstrous mother’ are often known of by the horror genre. This theme is so popular that it has created a sub-horror genre: Maternal Horror. Mothers in maternal horror are so interesting due to their questioning of the status of motherhood.

Pregnant in America is a documentary film that focuses on mothers preferring a natural birth, fetal and maternal mortality, and the health care system. The documentary film is about a couple named Steve Buonaugurio and Mandy Buonaugurio, who are expecting their first child name Bella. By traveling across the United States and Europe they learn about hospitals, doctors, the insurance companies, home births and midwives. As the couple traveled, they interviewed experts which lead them to find out shocking realities about women who have given birth in a hospital setting. Throughout their journey they learn that cesarean section has increased in the United States from 7% in 1975 to today being 30%. The shocking reality they came across is that mothers are being pushed to have a cesarean section when it comes to delivering the baby. Not only are mothers pushed to having a cesarean section, but they are giving birth on a scheduled date, since having a scheduled birth is what works best for doctors. The increased in mothers having cesarean section is also due to insurance companies. A couple who previously had a cesarean section to deliver their first child were told by their insurance company that costs for a natural birth would not be covered since they would only cover the costs of a cesarean section. While the expecting couple keeps traveling they find out that epidural – an injection of drugs into the epidural space of the spine to create a loss of sensation in a woman’s lower

As we made our way down to the basement where the mummies are I said wouldn’t it be scary if they came to life? Right when I said that the lights went out and me and Markell both pulled out our phones and turned our lights on. We both decided to still keep looking around we must have been walking for five or ten minutes when we heard a loud BANG! We both stopped dead in our tracks and looked behind us there was nothing Markell decided it was time to go back. When we got back to the cellar door it was shut and it wouldn’t open we pushed on it as hard as we could it just wouldn’t move. As we were trying to think of a way to get out we heard some very feint noises so we kind of started getting scared but we started walking to find out what it

For the interview I conducted, I chose to talk to my mom. Her name is Teresa Stutts, and she is 56 years old. She was born and raised in Florence, AL. she is I actually grew up in the same house she did. She went to a private Christian school; my sister and I attended the same school as well. She started working at a bank when she was 19, and she completed 2 years of college but didn’t graduate. Her dad passed away in 1980, when she was still in school. He was the one encouraged her to finish, but she didn’t like school and got a promotion at the bank. She has two children, and she has been married to my dad for 25 years. Neither one of them had been married before, and neither one had previous children. My sister and I are their only children.

Usually, whenever I have conversations with my mom they're about school or my siblings so doing this interview that was about her and how she felt about aspects of her life taught me alot. I learned how much my mom has sacrificed for her family and how much being a mother means to her. She informed me that her life isn’t what she thought it would be but she wouldn’t have it any other way. Learning about gender roles and how women are suppose to be in this world from class became more personal to me because my mother is actually living what society says women are suppose to be. In the Women's Lives book the authors state, “One of the most intimate relationships a woman can experience is her relationship with her child” (Etaugh 188). This sentence in the book proved how my mother was describing her love for us and how we were the best things that has happened to her. During our interview, she shared with me that she has never loved anyone like she loves her children and she has never felt love like we love her. Women are suppose to take care of the children, take care of the home, and be a good wife to their husband and my mom is doing all and more. It was surprising to know that my mom doesn’t miss working because while I was young she was always employed and was very independent. Now that she is basically depending on my step dad for the income in the household, it is very weird and interesting to me. Another thing that I learned while interviewing my mother was her thoughts of social class. She shared with me

Going into the conversation I then thought it would not only be awkward but maybe even inapplicable; yet, after we talked I came to realize that awake or asleep, my Grandmother had in fact witnessed some dramatic and seemingly revolutionary changes throughout her life. Throughout our interview to particularly have lots to say about the changes she has observed in family dynamics, dating and courtship and sexual identity. Afterwards, I am actually very glad that we got to share similarities, differences and observations about our lives together, our talk helped me further contextualize a lot of information relevant to this class and also discover something about her narrative that was unique to those described in class. My Grammy painted her perspective to be one separate of something that could be sexual or a revolution, much less a

Throughout this journey, there will be many influential people in one’s life. Depending on the person, the amount of influence will vary. Unlike anybody else, my mom has inspires me in a major way and continues to be a huge influence on my life daily. While working full time as a registered nurse, Natalia was able to care not only for her patients but for her family too. After a long twelve-hour shift at the hospital, my mother still wore a smile when she would come home. No matter how difficult her work day was she still managed to maintain a positive outlook on life. Her uplifting spirit seemed contagious, leaving others inspired in her presence.

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.
