Daughter

and a daughter have different points of view about dreams in their lives. A mother draws on her mind the kind of future and life her daughter could have. But, the mother does not consider that her expectations are far away from her daughter’s dreams and goals. A mother and a daughter do not conceive the same thoughts about dreams and the future because everyone has different thoughts about it. There are two stories that at some points have something in common between a mother and a daughter…

Although cited as the first work of African American fiction, Clotel or, The President’s Daughter, written by William Wells Brown in 1853, proves to be more than just a story. Many sections of the work read like a slave narrative typical of the time, but in fictionalizing the piece, Brown is able to include commentary that would likely not have been allowed or encouraged in works written by African Americans of his generation. Brown’s presentation of irony through the poems of published authors…

Both artist have a wide range of styles in their work, I will focus not on how they measure up as individual artist but strictly compare these two pieces of work. Degas uses a very…

to my 45th birthday, my 21 year old daughter, Jacqueline, asked me to pick her up at her boyfriend's house because she said she wanted to talk to me. I could sense in her voice something might be troubling her by the nervous cracking in her voice and it was rather unusual for her to actually want to talk to me alone because for the last three years it seemed she confided in her mother more than anyone else, which is I assume is typical in most father/daughter relationships as they mature from a…
