Maria’s mother acts fast and hides Maria and Alberto in the hole her father made for their safety. Maria’s mother scarifies herself for the safety of her children. If Maria’s mother went into the hole with them the Contras would of notice the untouched breakfast on the table and would search for them and kill them all. By Maria’s mother staying behind the Contras thought they got everyone in the house and would not search for Maria and Alberto. Trauma begins when Maria hears everything from the hole and the torturing and screaming of her mother.
Another characteristic was using the children as a means of control to potentially get Fran back with him. This is the scene when Mickey went over Francine’s mother house and said he would burst the door in her face if she didn’t let him get the kids. Once again James got his way because Fran comes back to him for the kids. Francine is isolated by James controlling ways, for an example Mickey asked her where she had got her new ring from and she told him she went into town; after telling him this he slapped her in front of the company and she isolated herself. Fran was also very loyal to him, but James didn’t seem to think so and if he did know he made sure she stayed that way because he beat her for smiling and looking when a partner of his told him Fran was pretty.
She lives a stagnant life and does not move forward in finding the fulfillment she needs. Although she tried to make conversation that would please her husband by asking him, “Henry, could we have wine at dinner?” and, “Henry, at those prized fights, do the men hurt each other very much?” (p. 636), this is a conversation that would only interest Elisa’s husband and not herself. Elisa seems to have accepted the societal norms of living by the man’s rules. Women in this era had their housewife duties and took care of their husbands regardless of what their needs or wants were. Gender inequality was normal during the time this story was written.
Ibsen further hints towards secrecy within the household when Nora plays hide and seek with her children just before Krogstad, the truthbearer of the play, pays a visit. In All My Sons, Miller employs the theme of denial with Kate being intent on Chris not marrying Anne as this will thwart her hopes of Larry still being alive. According to Anne, Kate's guilt tripping in order to sustain her belief that her family is fine has "crippled" Chris and as a result, Anne has not been able to build a life with him. Joe similarly attempts to guilt trip Chris, warning him about "what's going to happen to mother" if he marries Anne in order to stave off their relationship. Joe's reasoning for attempting to make Chris feel guilty boil down to the fact that it will ultimately sustain Kate's support for him.
Even when she realises they are going the wrong way in supermarket she tells Lyn she thinks it is the other way but Lyn makes the decision. Principle: Support people’s rights to appropriate services Observation of Sue’s practice with Julie: When they are speaking about boots instead of sorting out some for Julie, Sue comments that her brother might have a pair.

Robert Schindler, Terri Schiavo’s father, said, “You can see it's [removing the feeding tube] taking its toll where her face is getting shallow, but she still was responsive. And talking, but with no volume, like it's very, very low” (Hannity & Colmes, 2005). Her parents also disagreed with Michael Schiavo about whether their daughter would want her feeding tube removed. Terri’s mother, Mary Schindler, stated that she believed if Terri Schiavo had ever told Michael Schiavo she did not wish to be kept alive by artificial means, “I don't think she was ever talking about [removing] a feeding tube. My daughter would not want to be starved to death.
Rosaura’s mother is trying to convince Rosaura not to go because she has a feeling that they are going to embarrass her. Rosaura ignores what her mother tells her and continues on with her plans for the evening. Rosaura was disputing with the girl in the box about her mother’s job. “Senora Ines arrived saying shhshh, and asked Rosaura if she wouldn’t mind helping serve out the hotdogs”(Heker,3). Senora Ines needs help with serving hot dogs, so she asks Rosaura because she knows the house better than anybody else and that she is the least wanted at the party.
She acts as a mother to Jem and Scout. The passage that occurs when Walter Cunningham is having dinner with the Finches really shows the motherly instinct in Calpurnia. “’But he’s gone and drowned his dinner in syrup,’ I protested, ‘He’s poured it all over – It was then that Calpurnia requested my presence in the kitchen. She was furious…’There’s some folks who don’t eat like us,’ she said, ‘but you ain’t called on to contradict ‘em at the table when they don’t. That boy’s you comp’ny and if he wants to eat the table cloth you let him, you hear?’” (32).
Onions had a great effect on Tita as she was prematurely and the reason is that she is sensitive towards them. After Tita was born she was not breast fed by her mother but by Nacha instead. The reason is that after Tita was born her father died and the news was so shocking to Mama Elena that here milk dried up. Mama Elena’s also had an effect on Tita, because she could not breast feed her and Nacha did she had more of a motherly bound towards Nacha than Mama Elena. If Mama Elena breast fed Tita maybe, just maybe their relationship would have been stronger and tighter than it is.
It is also an ironic because it is clear from everything else she says that the author is anything but ashamed of her mother. | | “…hoped Mr. Hadley wouldn’t notice the car with our mother in it, and yelling and tooting…”(p.5) | This quote shows how the mother advertises their family’s poorness without shaming. |
