Spacehip And Mother : The Transformation Of The Spaceship, Mother

In “The Alien”, Delanty explains the anxious feeling that parents have before having a baby and uses the motif of space to try to explain how parents try to answer some of the questions they have. As the experience of having a child is new to these parents, they use a metaphor to compare their child to an “alien” and a “martian” (Delanty 9, 11). This demonstrates that they are anxious because they neither know how the child will behave nor how to cooperate with the new child. They also have other questions about their coming child, expressed when Delanty writes, “we’re anxious/ to make contact, to ask divers questions/ about the heavendom you hail from, to discuss/ the whole shebang of the beginning&end,/ the pre-big bang untime before you forget the why”

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

"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.

In the story “Puppy” by George Saunders, one reads about the life of two very different mothers. Introduced first is Marie, an upper-class woman who acts like her children. Secondly, there is Callie who is a working-class woman with a somber tone. While both women have very different lives they have a great deal in common such as their kids have behavioral disorders and both had parental issues growing up which makes them imperfect parents. Even though the story talks about the lives of both women more compassion is shown towards Marie’s character. Although Callie is revealed to be just as remarkable as Marie in the second section, she comes off as secondary to Marie’s character throughout the story. Saunders created Marie with an emotional

In the 1950’s through the 1960’s women were not respected in there everyday lives, in the job field or in general. They did not have the rights they deserved, so during this time the “women’s movement” began. Women fought for their rights and fought for the self-respect that they thought they deserved. In the play A Raisin in the Sun by Lorraine Hansberry, the character Mama, expresses her feelings of pushing or extracting a new side for a woman. Her role explains that woman can be independent and can live for themselves. Through her behavior in this play she demonstrates that women can support and guide a family. Mama is in charge of the family, which is unusual, since men are traditionally the “head of a family”. Through Mama’s wisdom

2015 marks the 100th anniversary of Gallipoli where ANZAC Legends such as ‘Simpson and his donkey’ were born. These stories shed light on war but left the heart break of mothers and death of millions of soldiers in the dark.

Revolutionary Mothers is a book written in 2005 by Carol Berkin about women during the struggle for America’s independence. I would recommend this book to anyone interested in women’s history or Revolutionary American history. This book is new in the sense that it has the perspective of the women during the war and not only white women but also Native American women and African American women. She also wrote about the perspective of loyalists and patriots. Revolutionary Mothers was written so that people could learn more about the role women played in the American Revolution.

Both Coraline and Peter and Wendy contain strong protagonists, equally balanced out by very strong antagonists. The villains of these stories, the Other Mother and Captain Hook respectively, both have a lasting impact on those who hear their stories. When I was four years old, I had a Captain Hook costume, complete with a plastic hook to fit over my hand. I wore that costume endlessly, especially when I was just playing around the house. Even at such a young age, I knew what I was supposed to be representing. Captain Hook was a coward, but a diabolical coward at that. And while I did not understand the depth of his character then, he was a key figure in my imaginative play. Though I did not read Coraline as a child, her experience finding the door immediately stirred up memories from

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

Judith Wright’s poem “Mother to Child” is about a woman’s emotions during the different stages of motherhood. It tells the audience that the bond between a mother and her child is very powerful and that it changes as the child grows. Wright shows us this through her use of imagery, symbolism and the structure of her poem. The use of those three elements of literature help communicate the love the woman has for her child and how their connection grows stronger as time goes on.

4. The Path of the Great Mother also known as “PGM” is a polytheism religion which means people worship more than one god. The Path of the Great Mother was created in ancient Egypt and its origin dates back to the reign of Cleopatra in 30 BC. The Great Mother was a divine feminine Goddess, a mother to everyone, with her unconditionally love. At the beginning of time, men were intrigued by the fact only woman could bear children and worshipped them for bearing their children. Many people thought childbirth  was a type of black magic because so many women that gave birth died during childbirth. The men feared that the woman who lived through childbirth had supernatural powers and could place a curse on anyone that defied them. The woman that survived childbirth were the rulers of time and followed in the foot steps “path” of the Great Mother for all eternity.

When I read this story it brought to mind all of those Dracula movies that I have seen where they show a ship coming into harbor with no one alive aboard or a ship full of corpses. The American ship Mary Celeste was seen sailing erratically by Captain David Morehouse aboard the British brig Dei Gratia near the Azores Islands in the Atlantic Ocean. The strangest thing was that the ship was seaworthy and all of its stores and supplies were aboard and untouched but there was not a single living soul on the vessel.

In the transcript “Forgotten Ship” Shapiro and the crew of the U.S.S. Kirk are trying to show that they were worried. In the transcript “Forgotten ship” Shapiro describes how they wanted the helicopters to land on the ship but they had some complications “It wasn’t clear that the pilots could land on a moving ship.” The words “It wasn’t clear that the pilots could land”this gives you a sense that the crew was worried if they could help them land or not. In this section of the transcript Mr. Doyle explains how the helicopters lost fuel and crashed so they need somewhere to land “Well, they were flying out to sea. Some of them were very low on fuel and some of them crashed alongside larger ships.” The words “some of them crashed alongside

I have read the two plays, "The Glass Menagerie" by Tennessee Williams and "A Raisin in the Sun" by Lorraine Hansberry, both of have a big impact on me. The two plays circle around the family values that convey the character of motherhood where mothers have to have a responsibility to raise, to provide their best and to sacrifice for their children. In these two plays, even expressing differently, mothers all show love to their children; they all want their children to have a happy life. Somehow, each mother treats their children different way, but they have only one purpose: to show love to their children. As I experience throughout the two plays: Amanda, Tom and Laura in "The

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.
