During the Simon’s (Matt and Marie’s son) birthday party, there were some conversations between Kate, Daniel and Kate, Marie; Marie told Kate to face the truth that Matt’s life was not a failure, and he love his son, his family and the farm. The most important thing that bothered Matt, however, was that Kate cannot forgive Matt and cannot understand him. Daniel also has made some progress (Page 281-282); he tells Kate to look at real world too; also, Daniel point out that Kate had put the story in a place that was too heavy. Actually, Matt did not change after being a famer. He can be a scholar; however, he just found out he like farming, too.
He does not understand this example of maternal interaction is a representation of her motherly instincts and unconditional love for him. He thought, “I was, in her eyes, some meaning I myself could never know and might not care to know” (23). Because he never understood he actually meant something to her, he believed all of life was pointless. The sense of emptiness Grendel experiences causes him to feel even more isolated and meaningless. The relationship between Grendel and his mother is one that portrays the importance of maternal interaction and its effect on one’s emotional well-being.
Smith’s strengths are her loyalty, tenacity, and work ethics. She will still be anyone that she has placed in her circle and her family. She keeps going despite the hurdles and obstacles. Even though her husband had a lot of money and wanted her to just stay at home and raise the children, she insisted that she work and have her own money. She states that she doesn’t necessarily like working but she likes the fact that she works and can support herself and her children if needed.
Matt now has a son, a good wife, and an ordinary life; he still has a good family life without going to university. In contrast with Kate, although she has good education and job, she doesn’t have her own family and in fact, she says, “I had never thought I would really love anyone.” (89) From another perspective, she seems to be the one that is going to have a sad life. Similar with Luke, when he rejects Sally it is due to his responsibility as a caregiver. He is happy with his decision since it is for his family. If Matt chooses to go to university instead and leaves Marie, he will most likely lose his happiness and truly be an emotionless “nerd” and suffers like Kate who does not truly knows the meaning of love.
One observation that I made about Faye, from A Secret Sorrow, is that she is always thinking of her family members before herself. Instead of feeling sorry for herself, she is more concerned about how her condition will make Kai react. Then once the two of them adopt their three children, she takes advantage of the time she has with her them that she thought she would never have. On the other hand, the woman from A Sorrowful Woman hides herself from her family even though she knows the time she has with them will be cut short. She did not take advantage of precious time that she
In the book's writing, she attempted not to demonize the scientists, yet represent the views and concerns of the family. Skloot states, however, that many readers do see a clear point of view in her book. Skloot did not plan to include herself in the narrative, and is generally skeptical of doing so. However, she found that many of her very personal experiences with the family, particularly with Henrietta's daughter Deborah, truly were essential to the narrative. Skloot realized that she was a character in the narrative as a person who both wanted something from the family and provided them with experiences they needed.
Edna is enchanted by M.R indpendence although MR lives a simple life with little money. Edna's new side that was coming out of her was puzzling certain around such as Mr pontieller as well as others. They were not understanding the way Edna was by the did nor know of any other way since they have lived this way for years and was taught to live this way. It was not their fault that they were not getting the picture that Edna was seeing. To them it was strange and
and go back to home and to have children, this would make them much happier. Some of the campaign encouraging women to return there jobs went to far for example “Leave it to Beaver” and “Father Knows Best”. Women’s rights changed but not as much as they wanted them to, as they wanted the same opportunities as the men were receiving. Women were increasingly unhappy with the burdens and the contradictions they faced. The were bombarded with the cultural message that said that good mothers and wives didn’t work and dedicated their lives to supporting their husbands and children, but at the same time they were increasingly forced to work to make ends
Some might even say he is a contributor to this overcrowded world, not because they have been allowed to conceive a child before, but because he leads the firm, who creates life, not human life, but synthetic life. Even though it’s only synthetic life, it is still some kind of life. On the other hand, there is Mrs. Swinton, a loving woman who seeks the joy of conceiving child. In contrary to her husband, she is not a social person. She seeks comfort in the known elements.
Professor: Roger Fontana English Composition-115 4/19/15 As I was reading Jessica Hemauer “Farm Girl” I felt a great connection to her story. I chose her because I am a country girl as well, who went through similar things as she did. Early as a child my Grandmother had a farm which I worked like Ms. Hemauer, being young and wanting to enjoy childhood should be the normal life. But it’s not up to the child, especially when you haft to earn your keep or help your Family survive no matter what your age is. Some may think that’s abuse or wrong to make a child work as hard as she did, but when that child grows up.
