Both mums had no money, nowhere to live and didn’t have a job to receive an income. They both started from the bottom, learning how to speak English and finding their path in life and settling in Australia. The Chilean mum worked as a cleaner since settling into Australia and now works as a care-taker at Mt Annan marketplace. The Iraqi mum worked as an accountant in Iraq but has struggled to find work in Australia. She supports her family at home and is currently studying English and Computer Literacy at Tafe.
Rosa Lee is a woman who grew up being told that cleaning and cooking are what she should concentrate on, not school. This was about all her mother taught her. “My mother didn’t ask me did I have my homework done. When she came home from work, she’d say, ‘Betcha didn’t pull those sheets, Betcha didn’t wash those cloths’. School wasn’t important to her and it wasn’t important to me” (76).
Tanya’s parents did this because they wanted her to fit into this, “red, white and blue world.”(pg 8) They wanted her to be able to speak the English language without a hint of the Spanish accent. Her parents said that by doing so people would look past the ethnicity and only see an American girl. Tanya tries to relate with her audience by speaking a bit of Spanish in her essay. Some of the words she uses are Latinos, ingles, and gringa. By using these words she can relate to both the American and Latino audiences, while also showing her knowledge of the Spanish language.
By the 1990s Sharpe went back to the same school and interviewed girls again and they had changed their priorities to careers and being able to support themselves by being more dependent rather than relying on a husband. Sue Sharpe has contributed to giving us an understanding of the way girls ambitions have changed, without this people would still assume women would want to grow up and be a housewife; looking after their children and doing domestic labour. A similar research was carried about by Becky Francis who asked girls about their career ambitions in 2001, most girls had
The Riglers defined their role in caring for Genie as hoping to be able to rehabilitate her. They knew she needed a great deal of help and they liked the fact that they thought they could help her. 5) Yes, I think the motives of Susan Curtiss were different from those of the Riglers because Susan just wanted Genie to live her life and learn in hopes that she would live a normal life. I think the Riglers wanted to do more of experiment with Genie rather than just be her adopted parents and raise her with the help she needed. Susan was helping her learn to talk and practicing what she had just graduated from school for on Genie to help her.
Her mother’s illness is a factor in making Marguax one of Peter’s victims. Considering how mature she was for her age. In Margaux’s memoir, readers have an example that the way children are forced to take the role as care a giver, creates a more vulnerable child. Seeing or having a more vulnerable child can also create them to be more willing to giving into something immediately when someone gives them just a little bit of attention. Children like Marguax seem to give so much love as a caregiver that they will do just about anything in return to feel some type of
Gore uses her own experiences and opinions as a single mother to evoke an emotional response in the reader. I think most parents could probably relate to this statement: “When I was a young mom on welfare, sometimes I needed a break. I needed time to myself. I needed to mellow out to avoid killing my daughter for pouring bleach on the Salvation Army couch. And when I was at my wits’ end, Barney the Dinosaur and Big Bird were better parents than I was.” Gore has several logical fallacies throughout her essay.
The Daddy is always active as the describe the mom as standing there I feel that because the father doesn’t play the stereotypical father role this makes the mother to assume more guilt in the story. Instead of the mom cuddling the child the author wrote “Mommy over his shoulder invoking God until he sent her for towels and gauze if they had it, the Daddy moving quickly and well and his man's mind empty of everything but purpose”. Is this because of her character or the fact that most people don’t know what to do in the situation of a trauma, even if it is their own
This tells us that Jem really wants his father to not see him as a child anymore but as an adult. If Atticus knows Jem defied him and was bugging the Radley boy again, that would upset him and Jem wants his fathers respect. I think Jem doesn’t want to disappoint his father, he wants to prove he is becoming a man. Chapter 7 1. When Jem goes back to get his pants at the Radley house he finds them poorly sewed (as if to been fixed by a man) and folded and hung on the fence as if they were waiting for him.
Amandalyn Brunelle 2/16/18 Reflection Paper Isolated Children In Tara Millero’s “Isolated Children” she focuses on the physical and mental affects isolating a child has. This topic caught my eye in our sociology book so I decided to read more on it. Previous from reading her article I had a strong feeling she was going to bring up many strong points and as I thought she strongly touched based on a lot of great points about this topic. I agreed with everything she had to say and I learned a lot about what isolation does to a child. This topic wasn’t what I expected it to be however, I am pleased to say that it turned out much better even though it’s not an enjoyable subject to talk about I enjoyed reading her opinion on this issue.
