To the families (through the media) A crisis has transpired in one of our mines, the San Jose mine of the San Esteban Mining Company, which is located in Northern Chile. The mine has undergone a huge rock slide and it is estimated at this moment over thirty workers are trapped underground at around 300 meters (Weik, 2010). Soon after the mine began to cave, the government started rescue operations and are still working hard to get miners out. Rescuers are drilling boreholes to locate the exact location of the workers but at this time their location still hasn’t been determined (Fiscor,
It also shows agony barren women go through in their marital homes. The movie “Official Story” links the Dirty War violence with stories and situations of everyday life in many ways. One of the ways “Official Story” links the Dirty War violence with stories and situations of life is the disappearance of children. Pregnant women who were poor never set their eyes on their children they held in their wombs for nine months. The wealthy class paid health workers who helped these women in labor in order to help them kidnap babies as soon as they born.
Mine officials and rescue workers rushed to the scene to save the trapped miners. Finding out that they were trapped 2000 feet below the earth, a rescue seemed like a daunting and impossible task. Telling the families of these 33 miners about what happened and what was going to be required to rescue them, was also a daunting task. It needed to be handled delicately, with finesse, and with compassion. To deliver a message of this magnitude, officials had to analyze each family differently and tell them as much or as little as they wanted or needed to know.
In 1985 she met a gentleman who was in the Air Force. She got to know him and eventually got married to the gentleman on June 23rd, 1988 in Las Vegas, NV. This was her third marriage and her last. As I got older my mother explained to me “ Your father and I weren’t married when we had you.” I was born on June 13th, 1987 in Salinas, CA before the marriage. I had asked my mother abundant times if I was a slip-up, but my mother always replied “Your father and I had planned to have a baby; he wanted a girl and I wanted a
Gladys Baker Mortensen, her twenty-four-year-old mother, and Charles Stanley Gifford her biological father met working at a Hollywood film lab. Gladys had already been married once to her first husband Jasper Baker, and was legally separated from her second husband Ed Mortensen. Gifford refused to marry Gladys and moved away, neither Norma Jeane nor her mother ever saw him again. Gladys could not afford her daughter or take care of her while trying to find a job, so she began to send her infant daughter to a nearby family for five dollars a week. Norma Jeane spent most of her childhood living in as many as twelve different foster homes and even at one point in an orphanage while her mother was in and out of the hospital suffering from mental illness.
Ida leaves the house at an age of seventeen to “spend the next three years as a guerilla soldier for the Tamil Tigers” (Briggs 82). Ida never dies “because of a battlefield wound but because of a [gang-rape in her own living room]”. Ida is not the only girl who went through this but “thousands of other girls in Sir Lanka who are forcibly recruited or who join to protect themselves against economic hardship and rape”. (Briggs 83). Women in Northern Uganda are constantly raped but they are never allowed to do an abortion when they became pregnant.
Three weeks later we went for her next chemo treatment. After another long five hours sitting in the chemo chair, longer for my mother then for me, we go home. The next day she comes to me and she has a handful of hair. As she combed her fingers through her hair, it was just falling out like it was no longer even attached, weirdest thing I have ever seen. Well, she came outside where I was with the Wahl clippers and said “shave it off”.
Midwifery was both time-consuming and unpredictable. In the film Ballard delivered babies in snowstorms, during harvest, and in the middle of the night. Ballard had spent four days at James Caton's house in the spring of 1796, “and then only after Mrs. Caton had consumed eleven glasses of wine in one day and biscuit and wine at evening 3 times"(Hist-201-003,classnotes,October22,2013) her twins finally born. Although Ballard had been without sleep for three days, she "could not sleep for fleas” (film). She usually spent hours after in postpartum care, remaining through the night if the baby were born after dark.
We laughed until we both had tears streaming down our cheeks. And even though neither of us said it out loud, I think we both knew they were tears of laughter, mixed with tears of terror, at what lay before her. Three weeks later on a cold January morning the dreaded Chemo began. She was scheduled for seven rounds of chemotherapy. Monday and Tuesday, every three weeks we made the long ride to Grand Rapids, to spend eight excruciatingly long hours each day at the Lemon Holt Cancer Center.
