The absence of a fatherly figure in each Wes’s life is significant for different reasons but coherently shapes their futures. Joy’s husband was a role model for Wes, he supported his family and taught Wes how to act like a respectable man. Unfortunately, he died due to illness. Mary on the other hand had the job of raising Wes on her own because Wes’s father was not present. Wes only had his brother Tony to look up to, Tony had followed a path of crime and uncertainty. Although in Tony’s best effort he tried to steer Wes down another path so he did not follow in his footsteps, however, Wes chose to live a life of crime. In Mary’s defense she was blinded by her motherly intuition and made excuses for Wes and believed his word in times of doubt.

In novel No-No Boy, Japanese-American writer, John Okada, tells a story centered around the life of a young Japanese-American boy named Ichiro Yamada who was seen and treated as a “No-No boy” during/after World War II. After Japan’s attack on Pearl Harbor, the United States government ordered the mandatory relocation of people with Japanese ancestry regardless of their citizenships and incarcerated them in internment camps. In internment camps, Japanese Americans who refused to sign the Loyalty Oath and refused to serve in the U.S. Army were defined as “No-No’s,” and would be sent to prison. The novel discussed the continuous struggle of Japanese-American community in the racially alienated American society during that time period

The entire poem, Mother to Son, by Langston Hughes is an extended metaphor. The unstated comparison is between a set of stairs that are by no means “crystal” and life. The crystal stairs in the poem are likely for the privileged or rich, while the poor make due with what they have. Even though the road is rough for the mother, she urges the son “For I’se still goin’, honey, I’se still climbin’,” even after a long journey the mother continues to climb, so the young son should too. The stair metaphor could also help the son understand that this is just a ‘step’ in life, or stage.

Jordan (2011) writes about the application of relational-cultural theory to mother-daughter relationships. Relational-cultural theory argues that the mother-child relationship continually changes due to social context and time, and therapy can help children rework empathic failures and acute disconnections to question the absolute certainty of poor mothering. There were several statements that Jordan (2011) argued that I found particularly applicable to my life. The book chapter mentions that immigrant mothers tend to lose the support of a larger family network, and this can affect mothering. There is also the mention of a desire for connection, and the lack of a connection can lead to an inability to be authentic in a relationship.

Many psychologists throughout history have indulged in studies related to parenting behavior and how children are affected from such behavior. The work of Diana Baumrind, which is considered to be one of the most influential and well-studied theories of parenting behavior, was the first to identify three styles of parenting (Sclafani 44). These styles of parenting are called authoritative, authoritarian, and permissive. This paper will further explain descriptions of these styles and the typical behaviors of children as a result of each style. This paper will also provide insight on the parenting style I was raised on along with my thoughts on types of discipline I might use in the

W. Clement Stone, a well known businessman and book author once said, “Like success, failure is many things to many people. With positive mental attitude, failure is a learning experience, a rung on the ladder, and a plateau at which to get your thoughts in order to prepare to try again”. This quote epitomizes the central idea behind Mother to Son by Langston Hughes. Taking slow and careful steps as you walk up the stairs filled with obstacles and distractions, is a perfect correlation of succeeding and failing through every step you take in life. This illustration of succeeding and failing with every step taken is a perfect way to gain experience.

A boy who shared a close relationship with his father now hates, and refuses to speak to him. He did everything in his adolescent years to bond with his father. The boy had to other siblings, but neither was as close to the father as the boy who now lashes out towards him. Where did this all spiral down, how could a close and healthy relationship between a father and son go as sour as it did? The father never changed in his ways, but the boy lost contact with what was real and what was made up in his mind. The clinical therapies view the boy’s issues in different insights of what could have been the underlying reason.

Father and son relationships are the most important type of relationship. Fathers heavily influence their children especially sons, thus making the relevant. In the book Things Fall Apart there are two father son relationships, Unoka and Okonkwo and Okonkwo and Nwoye. These relationships are not ideal and each father has a different relation with their son. These relationships cause many things such as loathing of one's father, and rebelling. Rebelling for the sons is not a phase, but a lifetime of rebellion. Father son relationships in the book Things Fall Apart are defined by the loathing of one’s father, causing a rebellion leading the sons to be complete opposites of their father.

The novel A Thousand Splendid Suns by Khaled Hosseini is split into four sections. In Part I of the novel, it was told from Mariam’s third person point of view. Part II shifts to the perspective of Laila, who is growing up in Kabul not far from Rasheed and Mariam’s house, but who is getting an education thanks to her progressive father, Babi. After a nine-year jump and a shift of perspective, we have left the realm of a husband’s brutality to enter that of a close family relationship. “She was a pari, a stunner, Mammy said.

A sociological thought piece, Chris McKinney’s The Tattoo is bursting with toxic relationships. Amongst these, McKinney uses the strained kinship between Ken Hideyoshi and his father to partially explain how people fall into cycles of violent behaviour. To understand the richness of the text, violence will be characterised as the intentional or unintentional application of force, and/or power resulting in psychological, emotional and/or physical harm, whether it is for the perpetrator’s advantage or not. Thus, a wide definition is given to encompass the numerous acts of harm occurring throughout the novel. Ken’s father is a man instilled with traditional values and beliefs. Therefore, strength and fearlessness are expected to be in Ken to make him tough and prepared to face the world. The reader witnesses these notions take root and unfurl into his father’s ideas of the epitome of hegemonic masculinity. Consequently, this essay will analyse the connection between Ken Hideyoshi and his father as it progresses throughout the novel by looking at how socialisation, hegemonic masculinity and family violence lead impressionable people into deviant lifestyles.

The purpose of the study “Traditional and Nontraditional Mothers' Communication with Their Daughters and Sons” was to determine if in fact there is a difference between the way a mother communicates with her son and with her daughter. There are two hypotheses: 1) that using different linguistic qualities can be characterized by who the mother is speaking to, be it son or daughter. 2) that mothers with nontraditional views on the roles of males and females will relate to their children in a less “sex-role differentiated” or sexist manner than traditional mothers. The subjects for this study included 40 middleclass mother-child pairs in a suburban community. The mothers were contacted by phone and asked to be a part of a study that would observer their interaction at home. A scale called “Spence and Helmeich Attitude toward Woman” was used to measure the mother’s thoughts on male superiority, equal opportunity, sex and social relations between men and women. During the home visit each child was given five tasks made up of Storytelling and teaching which alternated every session. After giving the mothers books with just picture, no words they were asked to tell a story to the child and then have the child sort a group of objects.

In the poem, “Mother to Son” by Langston Hughes, he uses symbolism of the staircase to show that even if life isn’t the easiest or the fullest of riches, people must have the courage and determination to push forward and not give up. A mother is telling her son how the stairs have, “had tacks in it, and splinters, and boards torn up,” and when she wanted to give up there was, “places with no carpet on the floor--bare.” The mother explains using the staircase, that there has been hardships, obstacles in life, and times when she's wanted to give up, but there wasn’t anyone or anything to comfort her. Even though in life everything isn’t always in her favor, she shows that she still persevered on. She used her own life experiences to inspire her
