The Miscarriage Of Dolly's Mom

Lastly, I will now discuss the emotional, mental, and spiritual reactions I personally had about the movie. I felt very saddened over the loss of Graham’s wife because I could not even begin to know how awful it would be to lose a spouse. I also found it very sad to watch the children deal with the loss of their mother. The moment at the dinner

Individuals may feel a sense of loss, where they are encouraged to rediscover something about themselves and essentially, gain a new understanding of themselves and those around them. Through the sexual assault scene, we establish that Dolly has lost all the innocence she once endured. As a result of this loss, she matures and transforms into who she becomes. This is shown through Harrison’s use of symbolism. When Dolly’s clothes are stripped off her, this shows essentially the stripping away of her innocence. From this we see that she is no longer a young girl, but a woman. We see this in the the way she defies Jungi. Through Dolly’s discovery and transformation, her emotional state is threatened, thus causing her ultimate change. This concept of Dolly’s loss of innocence transforming into a growth of maturity implies that growth is compulsory as a result of a loss or significant event in an individual's life.

In the paper titled “A Defense of Abortion” Judith Thomson uses several premises to bring the readers to the conclusion that Abortion is not morally wrong. After reading her paper I have concluded, that abortion is in fact morally wrong, excluding extenuating circumstances. In this paper I will show that abortion is morally wrong by way of the following argument:

In Rainbows End Dolly, a confident and smart character is exposed to the harsh side of reality and this greatly changes her values and attitude. On page 175 it is alluded to, that Dolly has been sexually assaulted. In a hysterical tone, Dolly exclaims, “Don’t touch me!” Pathetic fallacy is used here through a strong and disastrous storm. The play uses this storm to set the emotion to reflect the traumatic situation for the character. It is clearly shown how Dolly’s personality changes to something weak and timid from her brutal discovery of reality. Paperman demonstrates how values can change and new perspectives are created. In the first scene, George stumbles across potentially the women of his dreams, but before they get a chance totalk, the woman is seen leaving for her train. George and this woman have an instant connection, and this can be seen through a mid-shot of both characters, creating the idea that they should be together. This sudden, unplanned discovery spawns determination in George to pursue this connection and find her again. In both texts, it is identified that regardless of the positive or negative nature of the situation, discoveries change an individual’s values and perspectives about themselves and their relationships with

According to the Oxford dictionary, "abortion is the expulsion of a fetus from the uterus by natural causes before it is able to survive independently." Abortion has perhaps been a highly politicized over the past several decades. The major political parties in the United States have adopted distinct positions on this issue. When the death a fetus occurs naturally, it is called a miscarriage. When the loss of a fetus is caused intentionally, it is regarded as a significant moral and societal issue that needs to be dealt with. An article on washingtonpost.com stated that, "studies show that there is an imbalance between the number of firearms-related deaths 30,000 a year and abortions performed each year in the United States more than 750,000 a year." This shows that more death occur from abortions that firearms. To better picture what an abortion is, the mental image of a baby covered in blood placed in a basin and chopped into about fifty pieces. This will help understand how cruel and wicked abortion is. I intend to argue that abortion is morally, logically, and religiously wrong. Unless murder becomes legal, abortion should remain illegal.

She was lied to by her whole family and this affects Dolly’s character in that it leads to trust issues and a negative coping mechanism of alcoholism and promiscuity, “The second oldest sister, the one who made me feel like rubbish all my life, that one was my mother.” The way both of these women have been shaped by the trauma they each underwent influences how they perceive people.

Leslie R. Reagan a professor of history, medicine, and women’s studies at the University of Illinois, brings attention and helps articulate the myth, that if abortion is made illegal then we could end all abortions. Reagan traced the history of abortion in her book, and reminds individuals that the law is not fixed, but, rather fluid. She mentions that in the early history of abortion, abortions were widely accepted and done in homes and offices of physicians and midwives. During the 1930’s this begin to shift and abortions were often done, in hospitals and clinics rather than homes and offices. However, in the 1940s, the acceptance of abortion began to decline and new methods and ways of controlling abortion were put into place. She mentions that, “As authorities prosecuted abortion with the same urgency as communism, prosecutors and the police systematically raided abortion clinics, publicly interrogated women who had sought abortions, and humiliated both clients and abortion providers in the courtroom” (Joffe, et al., 2000). When abortion become

In Gwendolyn Brooks’ poem “The Mother”, the author expresses a lot of her thoughts and feelings in order to share her experience. It is written in the first person and the narrator is adopted by the author herself, Gwendolyn Brooks, who embodies a weaken mother. In this poem, Gwendolyn Brooks tries to portray what abortion is for a woman and to describe the harsh truth about how women feel afterwards. Thus, this poem is mostly targeted to aim females and their feelings. First of all, abortion is the deliberate termination of a human pregnancy. First, the narrator uses many imageries, description, and a precise choice of words to explain this emotional topic of abortion. Second, her use

The movie basically did a metaphorical domino affect, as you see the family slowly falling down. Like I mentioned earlier when a family gains or losses a family member it is now considered a whole new group. Sadly for the Jarrett family they lost a son and were now dealing with adjustments of living, in a sense, as a new family. Calvin, the father, does a very good job staying positive but still recognizing that something horrible happened to their family and things still need to be dealt with. Beth seems to only worry about the material things as a form of a distraction. You see her focusing on setting the silver just perfectly; worrying about what clothes her husband is going to wear, and she worries more about making sure that what is happening inside the family stays between the family. Conrad is emotionally going through a lot but tries his best to keep it inside.

Brooks’ “The Mother” focuses on the burden a mother goes through when having an abortion and giving recognition to the unborn child. Gwendolyn Brooks achieves this by primarily using underlying emotions and providing imagery of what the aborted baby could have been like as the speaker’s child. The narrative voice of “The Mother” uses different point of views throughout the poem and the word choice, both of which are used to portray the burden of guilt of having the operation.

Tim Winton created Dolly to be a complicated character with the ability to change they way she is viewed and invoke specific emotions in the intended audience.

Melissa McCarthy takes on the role of Maggie in the movie. She is a single mom trying to make it on her own providing a new lifestyle for her son Oliver. Things start getting really difficult for her because she is always working in order to give her son everything he needs and more. She is easily likeable very sweet and caring for anyone who she may meet.

Pregnancy is meant to be an exciting happy time; not only for the mother, but for the whole family and friends. So, when a woman miscarries, the psychological impact/ trauma is unbearable and very devastating. The experience and feeling of loss, grief, guilt, and shame caused by a miscarriage can take a toll on everyone. These feelings can also turn into a major depression in some women and possible questions of what could have I done differently, or feeling like you had a hand it in can start to surface.

Match Point also depicts the role of the unlucky; Nola, her unborn baby, and her landlord Mrs. Eastby (Margaret Tyzack) whom Chris murder roll into this category. For example, after Chris murders the three and the police come to the apartment building, the police officer says to the detective, “sometimes people just don’t have any luck”. Subsequently, when Chris returns home with Chloe, the family, and newborn baby Terrance, the family toasts to the baby and hopes he is lucky.

Being a mother is one of the best gifts from a life. A mother gives her children unconditional love without expecting anything in return. Being a mother means more than having given birth to a child. It is an invisible connection between mother and child; it is a blessing, a relationship that never ends and the love that never dies. However, for some women, motherhood might be challenging in ways they did not expect, forcing them to choose between having an abortion and keeping the child. The debate over abortion is an ardent and polarizing issue as there are those who believe that all humans including those unborn should have a right to life, and on the other side of the spectrum are those who believe it should a woman's right to choose whether she wants an abortion or not. This topic relates to Gwendolyn Brooks's poem, "The Mother", where the author describes the painful thoughts, heartbreak, and awful feelings that a woman experiences after having an abortion. Brooks lays out a helpful framework for understanding the difficult situation of facing unplanned pregnancy. In "The Mother", a woman recollects her inner conflicts as she laments over the guilt of having had an abortion and the future she never gave her would be child. Brooks's poem provides insight into the research which reveals how abortion affects women morally, psychologically, and religiously.
