My name is (name) and I was charged with a crime in July of 2004. At that time I was a single parent with one child in college and another living at home. I also had my brother living with me at the time as well. It is unfortunate that it was my brother that reported me the San Diego Fraud Unit, but I was charged with living fraudulently in my mother’s home. My mother purchased this home in 1997 and transferred power of attorney to my control in an attempt to convince me to move to California. However, my ...

Although Sophie Caco was raised by her aunt, Tante Atie until she was 12, a psychological connection created between Sophie and her natural mother, Martine, a bound that traveled beyond the distance that separated them, a bound that was in their genes. The inheritance is by far the predominant theme of Danticat’s novel and it explores how the familial past can influence one’s future.
As a teenager, Martine was continuously the subject of her mother testing her virginity. The author somehow suggests that this is a common practice in the Haitian families, although she addresses a letter to Sophie, at the end ...

There is no secret ingredient for being a good mother. This is what the “Future Home of Living God” story indicates. The story of Cedar Hawk Songmaker, on her birth name Mary Potts reveals that a woman should develop her own style of being a mother. In the beginning of the story she tells to her unborn baby “I promise you this: I’ll be a good mother even though I’ve fucked up everything so far.” (Erdrich 3), based on the second edition of a magazine that she read while she was at the Mayo Clinic – the Guide to a Healthy Pregnancy. She felt ...

El Salvador rightwing opposition leaders are pushing for an extension of the penalties related to abortion from a range of two to eight years to a new range that will see women face a minimum of 30 years and a maximum of 50 years. That will be through a reform of the penal code article that gives guidelines on the penalties related to abortion. The leaders are hinging their demands on the Constitution of El Salvador that gives a right to live, then extrapolate that life begins at conception. Since 1998, all forms of abortion have been banned in ...

Pioneer for Freedom and Women’s Rights

In 1820 or 1821, a baby named Araminta Ross was born to the parents of Harriet Ross and Benjamin Green. The family lived in Dorchester County, Maryland, an area which allowed slavery. At some point in her early years, young Araminta changed her name to the same as her mother’s, Harriet (Chism).

When Harriet was only five years old, neighbors rented her from her master to do household chores. Since she did perform her duties well, the neighbors regularly beat her for her inadequate housework. After many failed attempts at domestic work, Harriet was given a chance at the manlier ...

“Careful dear,” my mother lovingly caressed my hair as I bumped into her while frantically running upstairs on my way to the roof top. I would be nine years old tomorrow and she still treats me as if I am a three. I didn’t in the least like her gestures of love. ”Why can’t she just keep her hands off me? Why on earth she has to make a show of it every damn time I am near her? Just the thought of her touching me makes me puke,” angrily I mused as I continued to run upstairs. I ...

Once upon a time, long ago, in a kingdom far and away, there lived a beautiful young maiden by the name of Anna. This is her remarkable story:
Anna’s mother died when she was an infant. Her father, being nearly destitute at the time, married a wealthy widow, by the name of Hagatha. Hagatha had two daughters from a previous marriage. Their names were Dorcas and Hortense.
When Anna was ten years old, her father passed away from a sudden illness. Having no other relatives to care for her, Anna was forced to live with her step-mother and ...

Tribute to Mother-in-Law on Her 70th Birthday

Among the Ten Commandments documented in the Bible, one comes with a promise. That particular commandment is “Honor Your Father and Mother”. But I would say, Honor your mother-in-law too because she gave you a family of your own. Being 40 years of age, I cannot forget to thank God for letting me blow that many candles. However, I thank God more because mother-in-law blows her 70th candle today, which means that she is now 70. I have a lot to owe to you mother-in-law, the most significant being the handsome man I call my husband. But that is not all that ...

In the recent past, exceptionally premature babies have been dying at a very higher rate. It is assumed that they only have 50% chance of survival. Newborns are also in this mix as they are at bigger jeopardy of developing complications in future (Whitfield & Peters, 2004). To prevent this, both the infants and the premature babies are usually kept in incubators until they are stable. In cases where the new born is stable and does not need incubators, Kangaroo Mother Care is used. This involves a direct skin-to-skin contact between mother and the new born. One of the main reasons why ...

(Retelling the original story ‘My old Home’ by Lu Xun using Jun-tu’s perspective)
This year the winter is back again with a whole new version of snowstorm made from the snow and memories of the good old days. The New Year eve is approaching and I am still worried to get a grasp of some steady money resource for ensuring a full meal for my family of seven, including myself. Suddenly, my fifth, Shui-sheng came running to me and asked if he was going out with me.
“You and I will be going to visit my master Hsun’ ...

The day of every year, dearest of the dear, knocked doors of my heart.

Mother's love and care, nice was the pair, gave mother’s day a start.
This time I tried, searched a thing every side, similar to my mother.
Everything I took, at the start only shook, fell like birds feather.
I asked a flower, about motherly power? Open up and say.

Flower thought for a while, told with a smile, I am not in fray.

I turned to windy wave, showed what mother gave, in reply shook its head.

It said in my ear, showing mom’s path found near, I will never tread.

I asked tall sky, that appears only high, are you only at the peak?

The sky tells me brother, if it is mother, every peak is weak.

I moved to sea deep, showed it mothers love with peep, I wanted it to tell.

Are you deepest worldwide? It said nothing to hide, it was like a well.

Then I stopped the richest ...

I woke up late that morning. I had an intense feeling of tiredness. In fact, it was one of those mornings when I felt like doing nothing. But, it was the beginning of the day and as much as I would have loved to stay in bed I knew I had to get up. I reached for my lifesaver. I needed it to open my eyes fully and drag myself out of bed. And yes, it worked as usual. My morning coffee was always there to help me to start a new day. The freshness of that glorious coffee ...

My mother is the best gift I have ever had. Our relationship is of many dimensions. She has been my companion, my helper, my mentor, my hope and everything one can expect from a selfless person. I am saying this because there are very many people out there who have never had a chance to experience even a fraction of what I have experienced with my mother. Needless to say, I have a reason to smile whenever the thought of my mother crosses my mind.
My mother had to take 2 years leave so as to make sure that I had the ...

The trial of Priscilla Van Acker

Introduction (Abstract)
As the prosecuting attorney in this case, it is imperative to reiterate the fact that my brief essentially entails ensuring that the ends of justice are met. In that breadth, I wish to submit that it is not justice if the interests of the complainant and indeed in this case the prosecution are served without due consideration of the accused’s interests. Ideally, balancing the two contrasting and conflicting interests would be the most essential in this case. That notwithstanding I wish to deliver my side of the bargain. It is my contention that indeed the ...

The day turns to night, and the night turns to day; but it wasn’t always so. It used to be that the days were just that, days. The sun would shine down on the mountains and the green grass, throughout the calendar year. However, people grew weary and tiresome working all day, and prayed to the gods for a few hours of darkness, where they could rest their eyes and their sore muscles from the days work in the fields.
Our story begins with a beautiful young woman named Pangita who was the daughter of a god and a mortal; her ...

The concept process involves the idea of following the essential process in ensuring the concepts regarding the issue are highlighted and covered. After getting involved with the idea of waiting, researching and its connection in our heritage and religion, also the fact that waiting for people usually not understand the life definition of it and the emotional process, it is rather an inevitable process that is necessity than roughly noteworthy.
I stepped into a moment when I felt engaged with it. I thought of making a piece of art that voice out the moment of waiting, feeling of the once ...

Zhang Wei remembers the day he landed in America very clearly, it was a chilly winter day and everything including time seems to have frozen. He was anxious to see his father, Zhang Xiuxing who had traveled by sea a year earlier. He was only 16 when his father left and old enough to step into his father’s shoes. One year had flown by, and today, he would be leading his mother and his sister to the Promised Land that their father had prepared for them. He was sure that his father would be proud of how he had protected ...

Her mother was doing the dishes while grumbling about what her sister in law had said to her and how they got into an older argument because of that. She could tell that her mother was enraged by that event. She knew that her mother would get so easily annoyed by every little thing, producing her a state of intense stress that she herself would administer daily.
“She even told me about that nice flowered platter. Imagine she had the nerve to tell me that that platter was hers when your father gave it to me on my birthday. ...

Among my siblings, cousins and friends, I was considered the least shy child, whose refreshing openness and blunt straightforwardness were the building blocks of a perfectly balanced personality of a leader. I presume that the yet underdeveloped ability to reflect upon my thoughts and actions has led to the current and extremely unfortunate lack of vivid memories about my years as a chief of our local redoubtable gang of about six children, whose age ranged between 4 and 6 years. However, when sweet nostalgia takes over my mind and forces my eyes to lose their focus, the unclear images soaring on the ...

Cain’s mother came into his room and interrupted him as he looked down at the video game controller in his hand.

“Where’s your brother?” his mother asked.

“How should I know?” Cain responded, “Am I my brothers keeper?”
“I told you that while I was gone you were supposed to look out for him.”
“Well, I was sitting here playing video games with him and he just disappeared, so how is this my fault?”
His mother walked closer to the room and switched off the television. “Hey!” Cain burst out, annoyed that he did not get a chance to save his game.

Background

Janie was just a simple girl who grew up in her own place, with her own family. Of course, no one could deny that her parents loved her. It could not possibly be the reason why she left her hometown in Eatonville to search for the love that she always dreamed of ever since she was a child. The story started when Eatonville, Florida natives and Janie Crawford’s family got the news that Janie is returning to Eatonville again, all by himself. The news spread quite fast and Janie soon became the center of attention. Perhaps, being bugged by all ...

Susie was not one to cast judgment on another person because she was not that kind of girl; that was not the kind of person her parents had raised her to become. In the brightly lit hollow that was her bedroom, she stood and wondered why her brother could be so mean and hateful to her. They had spent nine months together in their mother’s womb. That should have been enough time to bond, in Susie’s opinion.
Timothy was older by nine minutes. It was hardly the blink of an eye, Susie was sure, when it came ...

One of the most known movie lines of all time is “Luke, I am your father”, found in the movie Star Wars, The Empire Strike Back. In fact, Wizard magazine awarded the Empire Strike as the best cliffhanger of all time. Unfortunately, currently not anyone can share the same thrill as of the people who heard the line when the movie just came out in 1980. The reason for depreciation of the thrill is that everyone is aware of the amazing quote even before watching the movie. In addition, everybody knows that Darth Vader (The warlord of the Dark ...

Merriam-Webster Dictionary describes “classic” as “serving as a standard of excellence: of recognized value” and “typical.” . It is one of those amorphous words like “art.” Difficult to describe“but I know it when I see it.” In TV Land we have, June Cleaver a classic mom for the time when everyone tuned their TVs to see “Leave It To Beaver.” Then there is Edith Bunker, Roseanne Barr, and Marge Simpson all classic moms, yet with different personality types. American Movie Classics still airs the movie “I Remember Momma” a classic movie mom is every way, as is the mom in the “Terminator” ...

Can you imagine living in a girls-only family? I mean a family that has only girls, no boys. I surely cannot! Firstly, the sight of many kids makes me feel anxious. I can imagine a house where when one kid cries and other kids follow pursuit. In addition, girls are more likely to cry a lot more than boys. I feel terrified just thinking of living under such circumstances. Pamela Vitela is a woman who lives in this kind of a Mexican family, and she is the eldest girl in her family. Why did I say she is a woman? Because she is already 18 years ...

Chivalry is one of the most important characteristics that define a man. The manner in which a boy treats a girl is one of the most important aspects of how he is as a person. Nevertheless, as this is not the essence of the contemporary model of masculinity, most men do not present this characteristic, and those that do, usually have it because of their upbringing. In my case, my father taught me that chivalry is essential for a man; my mother showed me how important it is to treat a lady and scolded me harshly when expectations were not met. While many people may ...

Neal walked out of the house and ambled slowly toward his car. He gazed at the sidewalk and recalled happier days, a time when he and his ex-girlfriend were still together. Neal and Kristine had separated months earlier. Kristine’s actions made it very clear that she no longer wanted him in her life. For Neal, this was the greatest shock he had ever experienced. Kristine was not only beautiful– she was courageous and hard working. These unrivaled qualities were what made Neal love her. What made it so difficult was that he was certain they would always be together.

Synopsis

A man stands blindfolded in a firing line. He is dirty, wearing rags, and looks as though he has been tortured. It is clear by his surroundings that he is being held at a type of military base. His skin color differentiates him from that of his captures, who wear cleanly pressed uniforms. Their expressions are emotionless and stern. The man shakes but remains where he stands.
A flashback takes place. We see the man’s home and himself as a child. His childhood home is small and modest. It is not dirty, but it is lived-in. His mother prays in ...

[Date (January 1, 2014)]

It was Friday morning; the busy shoppers were doing their last-minute errands for Halloween. The store was bustling with chattering people, enthusiasm was in the air. It was cold and windy outside but the warmth inside the grocery store provided a relaxing heat for a comfortable browsing of candies that would soon go on sale as quickly as the occasion was over.
One family got their carts full for the day. It was a cheerful lot except for one tall and pale-faced girl wearing a smug expression on her face, her full attention on texting. She was a very ...

Chapter 35 (Marc finds Martine)

I had just gone around to the corner store to get some creamer for the next morning’s coffee, and when I let myself back in, I heard some soft groaning coming from the bathroom. I called Martine’s name, but I only heard the groaning contibut what at first looked like a crimson carpetnuing.
I hurried to the bathroom, but the door was closed. I could hear the groaning inside, and I shouted Martine’s name – but no answer. I tried the knob and it was locked, so I reared back and kicked the door, just below the ...

I learnt to walk holding her hands with my tender fingers,
I remember how she would smile as I would run to her in glee,

But as time went ahead, I grew up with her guidance and love as she would let me be.

Now that she is no more, the pain in my heart lingers.
Mother, you have made me what I am, you have made me learn,
Mother, I have grown up to be an individual with all your teachings.
Guardian, guide and protector you had been for me as I grew up.
Do you remember? You would take me out to the ground for playing when I was young,
I would run to you being ...

My heart was all smiles; the radiance on my face spoke loudly with delight. Jane had just outshone her peers in the summer choral contest, and I was sitting on top of the world. I had counseled my daughter enough, spent a fortune in time and dime for her rehearsals and here we both were at the Great-Lake zoo pavilion gazing at the beauty of mother-nature with some of her children. The pink, the yellow, the purple, the red and the white petals took their fair share of display at the contest stage of beauty. The petals ears gave ...

The internet has become a limitless advance of space where individuals can write anything or be anyone. Information is not always valid, nor are the faces we look at. Virtually everything we see on the internet has the capacity to be doctored in some way. Essentially we could be hoaxed as many times a day as we dare to click our mouse’s button. Unfortunately, I have several stories involving internet hoaxes and the damage that they can cause in the lives of people who are unaware of them. One involves disinformation; the other involves dishonesty.

1) Discuss some of the mythic and ritual elements, and the logical, rhetorical, and ethical aspects of Oedipus the King. Think about how Oedipus proposes to purge the city of the murder-pollution, the key arguments between Oedipus, Tiresius, and Creon, and the arguments Oedipus made to himself and acted upon to defeat the prophecy, the rhetorical device of irony that permeates the play, and the ethics of everyone's actions, the family members and others involved in the tragedy.

According to the traditional interpretations of classical drama, Oedipus the King was brought down by the gods or fate because ...

Introduction

Pride is termed as the “silent assassin” to good leadership. It is normally referred to as the general state of one feeling proud or rather a pleasure arising from performing a certain task. In a community context pride come before a fall therefore an emergence and adoption of such a trait is considered as suicidal to the leadership skill and would result to a downfall of that particular leader. The scenario is well illustrated in the play Oedipus the king. When Oedipus managed to save the people of his kingdom against the curse of sphinx he was declared the king before down falls.

Already, she could hear the clattering of dishes and silverware downstairs; mother was always awake before everyone else, making sure breakfast was ready for the entire family.

Cock-A-Doodle-Doo!!! The sound of the rooster pierces my dreams. My eyes open widely to the dark of the morning. I lie in bed thinking about what I will do today knowing I must go to work earlier than usual, as yesterday was not very profitable.

How we Teach Children to be Gendered

Children’s gender concept and their understanding on gender issues are acquired overtime as they grow up. Children become gender stereotyped depending on how they are taught as they grow up. Moreover, the society and culture a child is born in highly dictates the gender lessons they learn and how they will cope with people who are not of their gender for the rest of their lives.

A child can learn to be gendered through experiences and interactions with the people surrounding them. First of all, a child needs to recognize whether they are male or female and they can only ...

Reflection of working with women during pregnancy and in the postnatal period

Recitatif by Tony Morrison is a story of two girls, Twyla and Roberta. The story is told in five encounters and all of them are narrated by Twyla, that’s why this story is also known as the Recitatif of Twyla. Recitatif literally means a musical narration. The language of a Recitatif is different from poems and stories. This is symbolic of the grave nature of this story.
The story begins when both the girls, who belong to different races, are put in an orphanage. The setting is particularly important because it gives the readers a hint about the background of these ...

"Like Father, Like Son"

I have always thought of why my friends, teachers and acquaintances associated me with politics. However, I never got an answer. Could be this assignment will help me to realize whether the people that I have always interacted with are right or wrong.

In this assignment, I decided to talk about how my father behavior affected my development as a child, although I cannot certainly say that his behavior ...

1. The goal of direct guidance strategy is to produce desired behavioral change. Children require guidance in day-to-day life in order to produce a given behavior. This habit is important in shaping the behavior of the child.
2. Some of the effective ways to provide verbal guidance include the use of general or simple terms to express a serious issue. The early childhood teacher should speak in a relaxed tone. Children are sensitive to the loud voice and may respond to it by speaking louder (Miller, 2012). Lastly, the counselor should use statements that encourage children. Positive statements make children respond ...

Infants reach several milestones from the very moment they are born up to the age of one year. During this time, babies change with regard to their reaction to everything around them and each day unique growth and development is noticeable (Martin 2008). It is imperative to not that each individual baby reach their milestones in their own unique way and at their own pace. Many of the milestones that they reach cut across and do not vary greatly (Meggitt 2006). There is a child I have seen grow and develop from one stage to another reaching these milestones just ...

The Big Bang Theory, a popular sitcom has characters that can be analyzed psychoanalytically. Sheldon Cooper is a condescending physicist with low self esteem and social skills but has great intellect with an IQ of 187. He has an awkward sense of cleanliness and has perfectionist tendencies.
This character can be traced to his childhood according to Freud’s psychoanalytic theory to his domineering father and strict mother. The narcissistic behavior is a coping mechanism by Sheldon at forgetting his childhood. His perfectionism, arrogance and haughtiness, a sense of entitlement and the need to control are consistent with Freud’s psychoanalytic theory, a ...

Alcoholism and Pregnancy

Alcoholism increases tolerance on alcohol thus affecting an individual’s ability to control his or her alcoholic consumption. Studies have shown that a large cross-section of women is today consumers of alcohol. This affects most professional ladies more than ordinary women. Their brain is more prone to damage than that of men; for instance, the case of memory loss. The new generation women are likely to suffer from serious medical consequences such as brain, liver, and heart anomalies. According to Russell (2005), alcoholism has very adverse effects ranging from mental to psychiatric disorders, and even suicide. Children born of alcohol ...
