On Sunday, April the 3rd, my dad took my family to his good friend’s home in the countryside of Bibb county in Alabama. The family friend, whom we call Mumma, is an older lady who has been living in this small farmhouse since 1967. We drove through woods on an unconstructed road called Vanderslice road, which is named after her family. We pulled up in the driveway of this secluded house surrounded by tall trees and green grass all around.

We were welcomed by two enthusiastic four-year-old Shei Tzu dogs named Aussi and Ziki who came running to us as soon as we got out of our car. Two chickens and peanut the cat came later and we all walked towards Mumma’s front porch. As I walked in the green lush grass of her front yard, I noticed different types of plants that surrounded the front porch, which included Camellia, cactus, rose and lily. We met Mumma when she came out of her house and we sat on the front porch to chitchat. Mumma asked peanut, the cat to vacate the chair but she

Then came Cali, a beautiful white cat with black and brown patches on her. Aussi and Ziki were still jumping around our legs. Mumma said the dogs aggravate the cats all the time. Then came around Suzi, who is an old, blind and deaf dog. She was slow in her movements and looked very peaceful. Mumma said that Suzi was a rabbit hunter when she was young.
Mumma then took us to show us around her farm. Alex the 27-year-old brown horse ran toward us as we approached his fence. We did not touch him because Mumma said he bites. There were two grey color old horses in a separate fence. There were a few caged dogs that barked loud at us. They were the rabbit hunters. There were around 15 chickens that all gathered behind a few plants as if they wanted to become invisible in the shadow of the plants. They did not come near us and were running away from us when we approached

    We sat on the hot metal of the bleachers outside of the baseball field. The rainy days of Spring were replaced with the sweltering heat of the Summer, and hearing the clink of a baseball hit a bat in the Summer had become a tradition for almost five years. My older brother Dakota had spent those years being bombarded by sweat, mud, and the encouragement of his family, friends, and coaches when the team needed to hit a ball or when he wanted to show off how much better he had gotten since the last season. We were all ready for the season to be over so that we could plan our almost yearly trip to Virginia to visit our Aunt, Uncle, and our almost overwhelming blue-eyed cousins, Liam and Carlile. When the baseball season had come to a happy--or sad--ending, we would plan the trip and be piling into the car within the next week or two, to go on the getaway…

    Mama Romma Essay

    When looking at similarities between Gomorra and the film Mama Romma by Pasolini, it seems important to look at the parallels between characters, especially young men and their involvement with crime. This parallel is exceptionally present when considering Ettore from Mama Romma and then Marco and Ciro from Gamorra. To begin with, both of these films end with the same kind of tragedy: the death of these young men. Therefore, it seems that both of these films intend to leave audiences with the similar messages that the worlds these young men have become involved with are dangerous and very punishable. In Gomorra, Marco and Ciro are very ambitious and want to become not just part of the mob, but the mob bosses of their area.…
