The first line of the first stanza, the speaker begins by stating, “Abortion will not let you forget.” This statement catches the eye with powerful words and a strong presence. The mother is being haunted by her past abortions, not wanting to feel the pain. An example is shown in lines eleven and twelve: "I have heard in the voices of the wind the voices of my dim killed/children" (ll. 11-12). The mother feels heartache and sorrow about what she did because she knows her mistake will be with her for the rest of her life.
We were doctors, lawyers, nurses, teachers, professors, deans, architects, programmers, and more” (August 2003, Riverbend, p.22). This is drastically different the US’ media portrayal of Arab women before the war. Furthermore, after the war, women’s freedoms drastically decreased. James Ridgeway writes about Riverbend experiencing this change saying, “As a young educated woman who once worked as a computer “geek” and moved freely about her city, Riverbend is particularly poignant in relating what has happened since the war; the loss of her own job, the fear she and other women now feel walking in the streets without men, the risks of stepping outside with her head uncovered” (December 2004, Ridgeway, James). The media portrays that women had an awful, restricted
Vulnerable mothers that do not finish getting their education become discouraged and loose the motivation and drive to tackle the oncoming challenges that life brings, creating for them another barrier on the micro level; it being a financial barrier. “Poverty and economic loss diminish the capacity for supportive, consistent, and involved parenting and render parents more vulnerable to the debilitating effects of negative life events” (Vonnie C. McLoyd, 1990 p.311). Not being financially stable brings on a lot of stress that impacts the relationship between the mother and child. Education has a large impact on a person’s life and it can change it for the better.
Nevertheless, the task was awfully hard. Jane’s group had to work long hours, it was time consuming, and even though it was long they had to perform the abortions. The group also started performing abortions in the late pregnancies and they had to do it because that’s what the women have wanted. Even though the abortions were illegal it was a way to help out women’s who couldn’t take on anymore of the mother role. “The women’s movement had bought abortion into the streets, with demonstration, and speak-outs, mobilizing thousands of women.”(274) Kaplan argues that women had the right to know about abortion and those that wanted abortion they can get it if they wanted too.
When Barbara found out she was pregnant another time, she felt an abortion would be the best decision because she had little money to support her and her son already, and her mom said that she would not help her daughter with to have another baby. Barbara went through with the abortion, and even though she was set on the idea we could see that she was going through both physical and emotional pain both during and after the procedure. The story of Imaculee was also another insightful story. In this novel we learn that Imaculee was a young girl when the genocide in Rwanda broke out. The Hutu people were killing the Tutsis just because they were Tutsi.
Also all the women here are not getting along because of our race, religion and different skin. This is really bad because we should be getting along and helping each other to get out of this messed up place. The cause of this probably due to lack of resource: food, stuff and other things and also fear which they can’t think straight. William am trying my best to keep them from separating and to get along together because this will help us survive from the Japanese soldier. One night a women name Wing sneak in some medicine to save Mrs. Roberts because she was really sick and people didn’t notice but among the girls they have a snitch in group.
Environment 14 up wards At this age if a child has not been able to move away from poverty area then their life will be fighting to improve it on little money and a lot of hope At this age the lack of parents input can course problems, emotionally and they don't always understand how money works as they have always been given it.

“Lenina was left to face the horrors of Malpais unaided” (111). For Lenina to see woman breast feeding their babies and families gathered around to watch, it just made her more disgusted. In the State Lenina lives in, families and emotions like love and relationships are prohibited and prevented. In order for Lenina to be happy she depends on her soma to help her get her through the day without any emotions that will give her pain and sorrow. However, because she forgot her soma, she had to suffer through the ceremony and all the horrible thoughts that came to her
Jill and Madame Loisel reacted to hard situations different. Jill does not like to ask for help, so when the sixty-six women showed up at the pancake shop she thought she could do everything by herself. ‘“A table for sixty-six,” said a woman laughing. My lungs collapsed. Sixty-six hungry environmentalists.
That means no source of income. The children would grow up to have a fear of society and a loss of trust. This means that there would be many secrets between these peoples. Some unfortunate First Nations peoples will not parent right as they were not taught right because of the abuse. They may pass that experience onto their children, and their children's children and so on.
