What difference of opinion is there between Armand and Monsieur Valmonde on the proposed wedding? Monsieur Valmonde is more cautios, he things they will get married too fast, he reminds Armand about the girl's obscure origin, but the two lovers get married besides everything. 5. In the paragraph beginning "Madame Valmonde had not seen Desiree..." what impression does the author create of L'Abri - the house and estate- and how is this impression achieved? (Pick out some key words from the passage) Due to the fact that for a long time the place did not have a feminine presence, the estate looked like an old, unkempt place.
The man who accepted Desiree as his own child asked Armand to consider that Desiree’s history was unknown. Armand responded by claiming he did not care that she was “nameless” and that her would give her one of the oldest, proudest names in Louisiana (Chopin 242). This event accentuates male supremacy. Monsiuer Valmonde, an older white male, cautioned Armand. Despite the warning, Armand did not care about what consequences could happen by marrying her.
While many single mothers worry too much or regret decisions during their children childhood they are satisfied with the result and the out come of there children by the actions their children make after they grown out of their childhood In “I stand here ironing” a mother depicts her first child to have a bad early childhood by making the wrong decision not by choice but simply what got handed to them in a urban world. “She was a miracle to me but when she was eight months old I had to leave her daytimes with the woman downstairs to whom she was no miracle at all, for I worked or looked for work and for Emily’s father who “could no longer endure sharing want with us.”” Narrator did not want leave her child with the downstairs neighbor, but to provide the little she could to her child she made scarifies due to been a one parent family. She did all she could even with the father figure leaving to irrelevant discussion on his part. When she sees the development of her child thru the years she gets warmth never felt. “Now suddenly she was Somebody, and as imprisoned in her difference as she had in anonymity.” In the narrators point of view her child was an outcast, a nobody, but when she got the call from her daughter it seem the sun finally started to shine in her daughter path, she was free.
(i) I find the way the poet describe how her daughter has owned her instead of her owning her daughter powerful. Normally, we have the idea that when a mother gives birth to a child, the child belongs to the mother and of course, the father. However, in this poem the poet feels the exact opposite. The sentence ‘I think I’m going to have it’ tells me that the poet thought she was going to finally have this baby of hers, this baby that truly belongs to her because she is going to deliver to it. Another sentence ‘certainly I never had you as you still have me, Caroline.’ proved that the poet was conveying the message that her daughter never belonged to her instead, she belonged to her daughter.
When analysing a poem of Plath's one may automatically associate it with depression, melancholy etc. even before reading the piece itself and fairly so. Mental illness was a major part of her adolescent and adult life and is clearly present in many of her writings. When first going over Morning Song, it is surprising to find nothing lachrymose or dark about this piece. Instead we are given a rare insight into Plath's mind of being a first time mother, something she never thought that she would be.
Novalee's childhood was filled with a tremendous amount of sadness that a child should never have to go through.

Schwartz mentioned a good example when “ Jane was infant, who was orphaned by the death of her parents, and how Jane became the ward of a woman who always abused ,then she moved on to explain when Jane was as a little girl , who experienced her circumstances as arbitrary , which were beyond her power to change , also she explains the gap that happened in Jane’s childhood and her adultness and how she represents herself and how that ambiguity run” (549) . Schwartz on her essay went on to apply Derrida’s concepts of deconstruction on one hand like “split” and “the binary oppositions”. As she also investigates Jane’s family name and explains what her name means in Latin, also on this part of her essay on the other hand she go back to Freud big impact on the novel and used his psychological concept which is “the family romance “ that she thoroughly apply it on her essay and how Jane’s narrative embody the double wish in her novel like “original and derived, free and bound, an orphan and an heir” (553). Schwartz said that we have to over look the ambivalent representation of home and family that run throughout the novel (553). She gives a good example “how the ambivalence about home is manifested in the slippage of the family name Eyre” (554) .Also how Rochester and St. John are victimized by the trap that is family and how Jane herself escapes it.
They are not brought up in the same loving and child-friendly society we have today. Forster shocks the modern reader with Lilia’s feelings towards her own daughter, Irma: ‘She caught sight of her little daughter Irma, and felt that a touch of maternal solemnity was required.’ Forster uses ‘required’ to show an example of Lilia’s own hypocrisy, as if she only thinks of her daughter because it is the right thing for a mother to do. This ‘required’ mother and daughter relationship is mirrored between Lilia and her own mother as well. The phrase ‘even Mrs Theobald’ implies that there is some reason she would not have come to do what seems a natural and expected thing: ‘bid her only daughter goodbye.’ Later in the novel Forster
So, I called myself Pip, and came to be called Pip.” (1.1). This shortened name stays with him till the end which suggests somewhat of a preserved innocence . Pip’s orphan status makes him subject to cruelty and suffering by his older sister. The narrator, older Pip encounters: My sister's bringing up had made me sensitive. In the little world in which children have their existence whosoever brings them up, there is nothing so finely perceived and so finely felt, as injustice.
