There is Someone For Everyone
“I hate my mom. I swear she get on my nerves always judging what I do. We argue everyday about dumb things that she don’t even have to speak on. I be telling her to stay out of my business. I’m too grown for her to be constantly in my business. When I finally get a job, I’m moving out. I cannot take any more of this woman anymore. She never listens to what I have to say. I hate that woman.” Majority of everybody I know says these exact words, or about the same words about their mother. I ‘am proud to say, I’m not one of those people. Of Course, I want to move out one day, what kid doesn’t! But it will not be for any reason or ever will for having a bad relationship with my mother. Going to different schools, all my life, help me to appreciate the relationship with my mother more and more. I see nowadays and back in my schools days how much a child really hates their mother. I would never forget in my second grade class, an incident that happened similarly to the, “I hate my mom” topic. The little girl was acting a nut case in class, so the teacher called her mother to see if she would come and calm her down. What I expected out of her was for her to get her act together once her mom comes up to the school! But unfortunately, that’s not what happened. As soon as the mother arrived, the daughter and the mom started arguing. Being only in second grade, this surprised me very much. The way that the pitch of the little girl voice was outrageous. It did not even sound like her. The mother looked like she wanted to cry. The parent face was candy red, her veins from her eyes were as red as her face. It was showing all the pain she was going through, and arguing with her daughter didn’t make it any better. After seeing all this, it made me want to go in a corner and cry. It tore my heart into pebble size pieces to see a girl act this way to a woman who raised her, and gave birth to her. I was always told by my teachers and friends parents

    Jeannette and her siblings were constantly getting bullied from other kids, in school and the neighborhood, for being too poor. The Walls’ children also underwent a lot of bullying from their parents. During Jeannette’s first days at her school in Welch, she got an abundance of bullying from a group of girls. Jeannette describes one of their encounters, “‘This girl ain’t got no buttons on her coat!’ she shouted. That seemed to give her the license she needed. She pushed me in the chest, and I fell backward. I tried to get up, but all three girls started kicking me” (139). Jeannette knew that she looked poor and recognized that the girls were badgering her for being poor, and that they got their power because they thought they were better than Jeannette. Jeannette’s tone of struggling and defeat displays how she’s tired of getting pushed around and bullied for the social class that she lived in, which drove her to become better and make big goals for herself. While recalling one of these many fights, Jeannette admits her acceptance of her living condition when she says, “As we fought, they called me poor and ugly and dirty, and it was hard to argue with” (140). Other kids were always teasing the Walls’ about their living conditions and seemed to find joy in hurting the children physically and verbally for living in the poverty that they were in. Jeannette’s use of the words “it’s hard to argue with” shows her…

    “I DON’T CARE MOM!” I screamed at the top of my lunges. We were driving along I-95 on the sway home from my successful driver's license test. I was 16. I was normal. The radio played in the background but it couldn’t be heard over my mom yelling. This was the same crap I dealt with every day. I could have sworn that woman tried to find something to fight over: this time it was about how I should, “be more responsible” and “find a job” and “needing to grow up!”…

    Parenting is an acquired skill achieved usually at a early part of adulthood, or subliminally obtained from the false conception that reading a "How to Parent for Dummies" books will actually give you that skill. Two insightful passages into the world of parenting, a essay, "The Most Powerful Question a Parent Can Ask..." written by Neil Millar and the short story "Be-ers and Doers" by Budge Wilson. Both passages attack the common ground of disrespectful children and how to raise them to your ideals. Although both passages share a similar goal they both host completely different attack strategies one much more aggressive then the other. The short story's "Be-ers and Doers" ideal of parenting is put far out of reasonable proportion, it would be feasible to think that the essay "The Most Powerful Question a Parent Can Ask..." is a far more reasonable approach at parenting.…

    The central idea in this story seems to be the mother’s search of an understanding of her daughter’s personality and outlook on life. The majority of the story is the mother trying to depict reasons for why her daughter is the way she is, so delicate, reserved, needless, and even unhappy at times. She seems to also defend her parenting choices by making excuses or blaming the urges of others in order to not have all the blame on her. She speaks about how she had no other option but to put her in the care of someone else at the age of two, even though she knew the teacher was “evil” (Pg. 925). “It was the only place there was…the only way I could hold a job” (pg. 925).…

    A mother is such a complex figure to think about. Mothers are expected to be loving, caring, sweet, but also firm and disciplinary. As seen around the world, mothers share different values and beliefs on raising their children. Many believe that the way a mother cares for her child molds the child into a certain adult. In ways, mothers have a power over their children that, as kids, are hard for our brains to grasp. In the article, The Estrangement, written by Jamaica Kincaid, thoughts on her mother are revealed and accessible to analyze. She shares her story about her mother/daughter relationship and throughout her story, The Estrangement, shows an underlining argument of the reality of the biased views children have towards their mothers.…

    The mother seems to be abusive, demeaning and cold. Her tone throughout the story is critical and commanding. The way she talks to her daughter makes me feel as if there were no warm feelings in their relationship. The mother gives orders, scolds her daughter and demands things “on Sundays try to walk like a lady and not like the slut you are so bent on becoming.” The mother doesn’t respect her daughter and accuses her of behaving in a wrong way. She seems to be bitter and cold. The mother dictates how her daughter should act “don’t squat down to play marbles-you are not a boy, you know; don’t pick people flowers-you may catch something…” It seems that it’s important for the mother that her daughter is not rejected from the society and follows social norms. She tells her daughter “how to make a good medicine to throw away a child…

    Nature and nurture issue has its root far back in the seventeenth century when psychologist wanted to know more about psychology. Before we even start discussing this big issue that has brought a lot of argument amongst scholars, it is important first of all to understand psychology itself and how it is related to nature and nurture. According to (G.Myers, 2001), he defined psychology as the science of mental process and observable behavior. He derives this refined definition from psychologists in the 1960s after debate of how psychology should be defined in which they came to a conclusion that it should encompass the behavior aspect of it and the mental processes that infer our behavior. To explain further, behavior is any activities that can be observed and recorded and the mental process is the internal subjective experience we can infer from behavior.…
