However Suzette mother always assumes her daughter is fine and everything is going well for her. It’s clear that Suzette does not know a lot about her mother, and probably was not that close to her.

    Newer generations of families often wipe clean the slate of misfortune. Danticat, in the chapter, “Nineteen-Thirty Seven”, writes of a girl named Josephine. Her mother had been in a group of women, whose generation had crossed over the river separating the Dominican Republic from Haiti, to escape the reign of General Trujillo. Her mother, after being imprisoned for many years, dies, and she goes with another woman from her mother’s group to see the prison guards burn her body. Josephine, at the end of the chapter, says, “Let her flight be joyful… and mine and yours too” (Nineteen-Thirty Seven, 42).…

    A. Jeannette, at the beginning of the story, is a prosperous news reporter in a pretty dress on her way to a very fancy party. This is the first glimpse we see of her, but the book is done as a ‘flashback’ of sorts, so even though technically she is a 30-something woman at the beginning of the story, she transitions back to when she was 3 years old. She talks, at least when she was talking with her mother when she was older, as if she knows what she’s talking of. She knows who ‘she’ is, even if she cannot at first come to terms with who her parents are. She begins by seeing her mother digging through the trash while she was on her way to a party. This upsets her enough to tell the cab driver to turn around so she could go back home.…

    The first paragraph of the story tells us that the mother loved her daughters very much. She prepared everything such as making the yard so clean just to wait for her daughter to come. Therefore, we can say that the mother is a loving mother. In the paragraph number four, the mother tells the readers that she dreamed a dream that one day she and her daughter Dee brought together on a TV show and her daughter would tell the world how she was proud of her mother. The paragraph can tell us that the mother was only proud of Dee, not Maggie. She only dreamed that Dee would say something great about her, she didn’t mention anything about Maggie. So, one of the character of the mother was partial. The paragraph thirteen tells us that the mother was a poor and uneducated woman.…

    Perhaps most affected by this exile was Orleanna Price. The mother of four was forced to provide for not only herself but her children as well in this unfamiliar jungle in Africa. She learned that her husband, Nathan Price, was in fact a cruel and wicked man who gave little care about his wife and daughter’s well being. She was forced to grow a backbone and eventually speak up and stand up to him, eventually taking it upon herself to find a way to bring her and her beloved children back home. The Congo has been her worst nightmare with her children like Ruth May falling extremely ill and she fears for the safety of her children. Her motherly instincts in turn overcome her submissiveness to her husband and this is a huge change because the real Orleanna Price has taken charge and won’t bow down to any man any longer.…

    For example Geraldine uses Joe as an outlet for her anger. She sometimes yells or comes off as defensive toward Joe. Geraldine once said to joe “now you listen to me, Joe. You will not badger me or harass me. You will leave me to think the way I want to think, here” (90). She tries to display dominance over what she considers hers and therefore gives herself a sense of control and security. Most of their interactions is dictated by Geraldine and any form of contact requires her permission. For instance when Joe tries to get her to look at the garden she refuses to look. She instead “turned over, away from me” (87). Anything that Joe suggest is shot down and every action she takes is of her own choice. Because of this new attitude, Geraldine and Joe grow further apart. Even if Geraldine does end up getting confidence and forgiving herself, I feel that Joe will have lost all hope and trust in her. Either way, this mother-son relationship is doomed to end badly.…

Once, Jeannette fell out of the car as she and her family moved away once again.

    Connie is so use to the ridicule and criticism, that her natural defense mechanism allows her to ignore the hurtful comments. However, the negative comments sometimes become so overwhelming, that Connie wishes for the demise of her mother and herself. “Connie’s mother kept picking at her until Connie wished her mother was dead and she herself was dead and it was all over.” (2/16) This relationship is clearly unhealthy with the woman that should be her first role model, her mother. It is believed that a daughter’s “first love” is her father, and that every child should have a strong male role model in their life. Contrary to belief, Connie’s father has limited to no influence on her or the household. He is not involved with them and has no interest to be. The story states…

    As Jeanette's dad is no longer contributing to the family like he should, Jeannette struggles to convince her siblings he is there for them in a conversation they have ‘“Dad has to start carrying his weight,’ Lori said… ‘He does!’ I said. ‘He brings money from odd jobs.’ ‘He spends more on booze,’ Brian said”’.(78) This quote supports my claim because it shows that Jeannette still has denial about her father even though with her siblings help she will begin to realize the truth about him. The conversation also proves my thesis because with her siblings help Jeannette will clear away her denial, giving her a better path toward success. The one person that Jeannette was in the most denial about was her father, a deadbeat drunk that couldn't hold a job, know matter what he did she always forgave him and would always defend him in his weaker moments. A quote displaying Jeanette's denial of her father's true nature is when she goes over to her neighbor Billy’s house and he told her her dad was just like his, “‘My daddy is nothing like your daddy!’ I shouted. “‘When my daddy passes out, he never pisses himself!” (p. 83). This quote helps prove my claim because it shows that she is aware that her dad is a drunk, but is rejecting the idea that her father is as faulty as Billy’s father. It also helps support my thesis…

    The short story "Annie's story", by Elisabeth Russell Taylor. The short story is about a little girl named Annie. Annie's father is a contributor to the Science Survey magazine, and he has a twin brother Hugo. Little Annie said to her father earlier that day, that she rather be her Uncle Hugo's daughter then his. Right in the beginning we get a feeling that Annie dislikes her father because he is never around for Annie. He is always in his study room. That's why she calls him a researcher because he always got a book to read or got a paper to finish. But her mother is the total opposite of the father. The mother doesn't do one thing that's compared to the father, and love being outdoors. Annie can see that her parents is opposite from each other and Annie can see that her mother and uncle are more alike. Annie's father is more the timid type and must have structure on everything and in relation to her uncle who is more the spontaneous and laid back type and is fun to be around with. The mother tells Annie that there are going to Pond Hills and Annie knew without a label who lives in Pond Hills and that does her uncle Hugo. On the way to Uncle Hugo Annie and her mother picks honeysuckle and red campion. After they had walked for a while Annie asked her mother why they never goes’ on holidays. The mother replied that Annie’s father didn’t like holiday. That made Annie think why and then she remembered that her father is a researcher. When they came over to Uncle Hugo he had made cream cheese and strawberry jam that says a lot about the two twins and how different they are from each other. Annie goes out to play and Uncle Hugo and the mother talks about that the mother have to leave her family. As I read the short story I learn more and more about how the mother is pregnant with her husband’s brother’s child. The mother had been unfaithful to her husband and that agents Christianity and in 1997 people looks down on adultery. Annie over hears theirs…
