Improved Essays
Many people enjoy saying that a special somebody in their life, is their special hero. But for me, it will always be my mother. Yes, this lovely lady, of one of the three people who gave me life, is a special person in my life. But, that 's the case in this world, the whole 7.8 billion people in these cruel and selfish world. So what makes my own mother a special case, one that stands out by itself? Well, to start, I must go back couple of decades, all the way 'till she was not a mere child.

My Mother 's family learned of Jehovah 's Witnesses since they were little. My grandparents were a great couple, and had a total of 8 children, 7 girls and a little boy. Amazingly that little boy, wasn 't a "machista", Manly man, which is common over there in Mexico. No, on the contrary, he learned to be like my grandfather, a humble man with a kind heart that every person like to have for company. But half of the children became like my grandmother, a selfish lady, who all she wanted was money, her greed hade made her into a queen Bee, even if she had many possession 's , that in their time, it was consider to be of great wealth. My mother always told us that they always had the latest devices, a television, a microwave, a couple of vehicles, a brand new refrigerator, and also had enough food for a family of 10.

Harwood’s Mother Who Gave Me Life, Sexton’s Little Girl, My String bean, My Lovely Woman and the novel The Penelopiad by Margaret Attwood all illustrate the restrictions and the resilience associated with feminine power.

    I was born in San Francisco to a single mother, and I have never known anything different. My mother provided an incredible life for me, for which I am eternally grateful. At the age of eleven my mother decided it would be financially best to relocate to Casper, Wyoming, where she would have the help of her family to raise me. Although the move was extremely difficult for both of seeing that we created friendships and bonds with people that we would no longer see as often, my mother has never made a decision she didn’t think was best for both of us. My mother always puts my well-being first which has given me my love of helping others.…

    The texts The End of Remembering by Joshua Foer and “The Ordinary Devoted Mother” by Alison Bechdel, while are stylistically very different, addresses the same themes of the memory and one’s self-identity. Foer, while not as cold or detached as a scientific paper, uses a more formal and traditional tone when compared to Bechdel who approaches these themes through the lens of a graphic novel. The result of this gives two very distinct perspective on how memories affect one’s self identity. Foer’s theoretical framework of how memory functions and Bechdel’s more anecdotal approach of the effects of her personal memories on her life, provides two very distinctive perspectives on how the prioritization of memories are connected with the creation…

    When I first learned of this assignment my first thought was to interview my mom. She is the one person in my life I am closest to. Since we are only twenty three years apart, I thought it would be best to focus on her life up to the point where she decided to have kids. Though I knew most of what she told me it was still nice to just sit and talk about her life experiences. My mother was born to older parents and was the youngest of three children.…

    As I experienced one of the most diverse and culturally different religion outside my own from being a Christian, I come to realize that I’ve have learned more about Jehovah’s Witnesses than what I believed. As I see them as people speaking about their religion and going door to door to preach their word, I’ve learned that their religion related to Christianity is separate and have their own views about life and after life. Jehovah’s Witnesses also deal with issues viewed on a wise basis. Having friends with many religion backgrounds and having a few friends that have become my informants while participation in Jehovah’s Witnesses Kingdom Hall, Word Studies, and Conventions; has enticed me to dig deeper into their religion as Jehovah Witnesses.…

    Early on in my life I realised how different my family was compared to others around me. Whenever my friends asked what my father did for a living I would say he worked in an office, but I would also add that my mother was a working professional as well; this was typically followed by surprise and bewilderment from my friends. A working mother in my community was not the norm, so they found it amusing. I gradually grew up to become proud of that fact. There’s no disputing it, I have lived and continue to live a privileged life.…

    What is a Mother? Before I begin discussing my early memories and definition of a mother, I feel it necessary to write a brief social location. I grew up in a rather small bilingual city in the east coast of Canada. As a child, as far as I could understand my parents had sufficient incomes, there was always ample food for my brother and me, and although time allowed to play video games was limited, we had the luxury to own a Nintendo.…

    There were times when my mother didn’t allow us to even open the door to them, and to be honest, I felt bad for that fact that these people seemed friendly, yet they were for seen with much dislike because of their religious faith. Even though not every religion believes or agrees in the same beliefs like the unique teachings of Jehovah Witness’, it’s still a religion that has a background, the growth has been immense throughout history, and just like any other religion it follows a particular structure of beliefs that are distinctive from all other…
