Mothers

Warren, and Martha Washington was slightly mentioned in Visions of America while Revolutionary Mothers tells of many personal stories of women who were not considered very important to the outcome of the American Revolution.

feel about cohabitation and marriage when their mothers raise their children in either family setting. This was referred to when the text stated, “An important gender difference appeared in the relationship between mother’s attitudes and their children’s cohabitation behavior: Mother’s attitudes have more influence on their daughters’ cohabitation behavior than on their son’s behavior, and daughters’ cohabitation behavior has more influence on mothers’ attitudes than does sons’…

school, she got married and had four children, one of them is my mother. She’s a Catholic and goes to church every Sunday. I remember when I used to go with her to mass every Sunday, and then we would get coffee and donuts right after. The one thing I love about her is her passion to cook Filipino food. My favorite dish of hers is “beefsteak”…

interview my mom, Leslie Rooney, about her feelings towards music. My mom grew up in the 80’s in the United States. I was interested to learn about her musical preferences that she enjoyed while she was a high school student in her generation. My mother response was that she enjoyed much of the popular music at the time but leaned towards rock bands. Growing up in the Seattle area, she enjoyed listening to bands such as Nirvana and Pearl Jam because of their local connection. She said that as a…

Throughout Beowulf there is an ever-present struggle between humans and monsters, civilisation and the uncivilised, however the way that Grendel’s mother is presented is a stark contrast to Grendel’s barbaric brutality, and we almost sympathise with her despite her role as an antagonist. Although Grendel’s mother “pounced upon [Beowulf]” (1545) in an animalistic fashion, her using a “broad, whetted knife” (1546) to attack him humanises her; unlike Grendel, who ripped men apart and ate them,…

There is an ongoing research debating about the correlation between ADHD and smoking mothers. Researchers Sharon Milberger, Joseph Biederman, Stephan V. Faraone, Lisa Chen, and Janice Jones conducted a study to analyze the positive connection of ADHD and smoking mothers. The study, Is Material Smoking During Pregnancy a Risk Factor for Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder in Children? was published in 1996 by The American Journal Of Psychiatry.

measures did they take to get their points across? Many female writers shared their points of views through their literature. A prime example of using this method is Mary E. Wilkins Freeman. Through Freeman’s “A New England Nun” and “The Revolt of Mother” we can dissect society views for the role women should play. Each main character share a struggle for happiness and equality while facing the judgment of society. Mary E. Wilkins Freeman was an influential regional writer. “Regionalism was a…

Mother Nature most of the time is beautiful, sweet, and loving, but sometimes brushes with mother nature could leave you not functional at all or could be even fatal, this is a lesson I had to learn the hard way. Ever since I was little, I have been thrilled by the beauty of nature and the sea that we had in the city where I lived. I would have never thought that nature would harm me in any way. However, due to my constant foolishness and recklessness, I always found myself in deep trouble.…
