Antwone’s mother was young and incarcerated at the time of his birth, but even with her age, Antwone’s mother wanted her child to be taken care of. Even though she was not able to provide care herself for Antwone, it was important to her as a mother to make sure her child would live a better life. This showed strength within his mother that she wanted what was best for Antwone. Antwone’s mother, Eva Mae, visited Antwone few times once he was removed from her custody, but later discontinued the visits. Later in life when Antwone met his mother, she was barely able to speak to him, because of the similarities between Antwone and his father.
In F. Scott Fitzgerald’s The Great Gatsby, the people in the high class New York society focus solely on how they are perceived by others in their social class. They lead a life of wealth and glamor and are much less concerned with anything other than how educated one is, or how much money they are making. Jay Gatsby has fallen into this social trap, but not by choice. In order to regain the love his once had, Gatsby conforms himself to the surrounding society, which along with his sense of innocence, will ultimately be the cause of his death. In this New York society, there are two main wealthy classes.
The thought of it being someone’s summer home seems such a waste. The grounds are every bit as beautiful as the mansion and back when Everett was alive, they probably were even prettier. The life he built from hard work and taking chances was

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
This is shown immediately when Arthur Birling states, 'You'll be marrying at a very good time.' There is no mention of the traditional requirements for marriage, such as love, commitment, etc. This is a business deal that pleases Birling as it boosts his own power and standing in the community this shows that he is what we call a social climber, The language he uses reinforces this obsession with money and power, words such as 'interests', 'capital', 'protected' and 'prosperity' all suggest a business man, not words a father-in-law which should be emotional and caring
Carraway lives in a modest house that is right next to Jay Gatsby’s Gothic mansion. West Egg is a place where people of the town are able to show off the niceties they own. Although Gatsby is a wealthy man, his residence in West egg implies that he is not able to become apart of the social elite. East Egg is where Daisy and Tom Buchanan live. Daisy is Nick’s cousin and Tom is Daisy’s husband who is extremely wealthy and is once apart
It was also hard for the girl to feel at ease with her natural parents. After experiencing many family issues, I come to realize that being a father or parent is not the ability to give birth; but good parenting is really the time that one takes to love, care and raising a child. The ability to give birth can make one a dad or mom but it does not make you a parent. I would definitely empathize with the foster family for the grief and suffering this rapture may have caused to their family. I would also empathize with the daughter for being traumatized by this tragedy.
Aldiss also claims that ‘In Mrs Swinton’s garden, it was always summer’, we find out that this garden is only a projection within their house, therefore summer can exist as long as they want it to, this creates the idea of a ‘Utopia’ as they can control everything and have whatever they want, whenever they want, due to the advancements in technology. We quickly find out that this ‘Utopia’ isn’t exactly what it is thought out to be and is actually a ‘dystopia’. Aldiss has foreshadowed the idea of David being a technological creation when he states ‘she had tried to love him’, this creates the idea of a disconnected bond, which is not normally present between a mother and son. Aldiss has chosen to show the most human emotions through David instead of through the parents, this presents Aldiss’ opinion that with the increase of technology the humans are becoming less human and that the technology needs to be ‘loved’ more than the humans themselves. Another dystopian component in this short story is the idea of strict government control, this idea is presented to us when Aldiss
He is not allowed to reside within the family home. He wishes to have contact with his son, which is being facilitated. The concern is that Jacks mother does not accept his father’s guilt.
