additionally, "silk" is a luxurious item, and the phrase suggests that war removes luxoury, affecting the child's life as they no longer are able to have more than they need, making them less privileged. the poet uses symbolism to explore children's feelings during the war. The image of a "jaw of glass" gives the idea that the house is screaming, symbolising the children's pain. the word "jaw" gives the connotation of sharpness, linking to the bitterness and pain. The poet is explaining how the aftermath of bombings can be worse than during them, as you see the destruction and scream in horror.
This had obviously been very difficult time and I was aware that the birth of a new baby within the family may have come with mixed emotions. SCENARIO Prior to the visit I had received a telephone handover from the new Mother’s midwife, who had explained this had been an uneventful pregnancy and straight forward delivery. However her sister had very recently given birth, which had tragically resulted in the baby dying shortly afterwards. The midwife explained this had created anxieties about her new baby and that whilst she appeared to doing okay it was something to be mindful of. This highlights again the importance of collaborative working and effective handovers ( ).
Bradstreet’s use of metaphor allows her to relate the complex relationships of being a parent to being an author. When the narrator calls her creation her “ ill-formed offspring of [her] feeble brain” she draws parallels between how parents can feel about their children when frustrated (line 1). The narrator refers to her work as a “ rambling brat” to show how difficult it is to accept something she has created (7). The narrator seems to feel this difficulty not only as an author but also as a mother. As a frustrated parent feels the narrator once again uses the metaphor of a child to describe how an author feels when their work does not turn out how they wanted.

Children can also get mental problems because of spanking such as killing themselves. Children start to think about why they were born and asking themselves if they should live in a world where they just get spanked all the time. Therefore, parents who spank their children should change their minds about spanking their children. Spanking children is not a good way to discipline them because children will have bad relationships with parents and other people. For example, children who are usually spanked by their parents have problems with them because of spanking, so children will become more aggressive with other people who are around them.
It also shows that they are not going to be happy throughout the story. When the man and woman are in the bedroom they see a picture of their baby. This helps the reader realize that the baby is going to be a topic in the story. When they go to get the baby the man says, “I want the baby.” When the woman pulls the baby back to keep it away from him she holds it over the stove, which is dangerous. There were many problems in the story, which showed the baby was in trouble such as “The baby was red-faced and screaming”.
By offering two very specific examples, the book utilizes Nao Kao and Foua Lee to exemplify these differences. Throughout the birth of Hmong babies, an exact order of events takes place this is described in the first example. While squatting, the mother Foua draws the infant out with her own hands, making sure to catch the baby before it drops on the filthy surface underneath. “She was so quiet that although most of her babies were born at night, her older children slept undisturbed on a communal bamboo pallet a few feet away, and woke only when they heard the cry of their new brother or sister” (Fadiman, 1997, p. 3-4). “After each birth, Nao Kao cut the umbilical cord with heated scissors and tied it with a string.” (Fadiman, 1997, p. 4 Burial responsibilities of the placenta, also resided with Nao Kao.
The image that is created by this quote is of a new born baby being delivered. The bald baby cries when the midwife slaps the baby’s feet. The image of the words…”took its place among the elements” is the image of becoming part of the human race and part of the universe. The figurative meaning of this quote is that once the baby cries, it is part of the universe and can fit in with other elements of the universe. The punctuation causes a pause which means that the tone is slow.
In this paragraph she makes it obvious that her child has become the center of her world and she also feels she is the center of the child's world: "O node and focus of the world". The next line of the poem, "I hold you deep within that well" The line points that the poet encloses the baby in her womb and therefore she feels she is the center of the child's world. In this paragraph, the speaker also says the child "shall escape and not escape," which directs the idea that there is a physical relationship as well as an emotional one. The child will physically escape from the mother's body, but it will emotionally remain a part of her
Speaking to a loved one about end of life decisions is never easy, and in most cases is not discussed until someone has been diagnosed with a terminal illness. When a loved one is faced with a poor prognosis, the family is confronted with important decisions on how to provide end of life care for them.
