  • The Other Wes Analysis

    1111 Words  | 3 Pages

    Based off of what you see in the novel you can tell which one can give leadership and support versus the other. Mary Moore, Other Wes’s mother, cared a lot in the beginning about Wes, she was going to school, had a job and was a supporter. Then her grant was shut down and she shut down with it. “Mary realized the letter effectively closed the door on her college aspirations.”(17) When she falls through on her own dreams of being successful, she falls through with Wes. She also wasn’t a good example of how to treat a woman. “She was only 27 years and despite having two sons... she was still young enough to enjoy partying, dancing, and being noticed by men-and noticing them back.”(19) She is not a respectable woman based off of this and Wes now grows up thinking this is a good way to view woman. This later leads to Wes getting a girl pregnant and not knowing how to be a father. Even how Mary reacts to her son having a child is ridiculous. In fact, her actual response was “So who wants cake?”(101) Joy Moore, author Wes’s mother, was very supportive and had faith in her son. She knew when he needed the extra push, she ultimately turned Wes’s life around at one point. After trying to desperately run away from military school, he calls his mom and her response is quite honest. “I love you, and I am proud of you. And, Wes, it’s time to stop running.”(96)She took on the responsibility to do whatever it took to

    The Big Bang Theory is one of the most important, and most discussed topics in cosmology today. As such, it encompasses several smaller components that attempt to explain what happened in the moments after creation, and how the universe we know today came from such a fiery, chaotic universe in the wake of the Big Bang. One major component of the Big Bang theory is nucleosynthesis. We know that several stellar phenomena (including stellar fusion and various types of super novae) are responsible for the formation of all heavy elements up through Plutonium, however, after the advent of the Big Bang theory, we needed a way to explain what types of matter were created to form the earliest stars.!

  • Parenting In Maya Angelou's I Know Why The Caged Bird Sings

    754 Words  | 2 Pages

    What is good parenting? Many think good parenting consists of keeping a close eye on their child but this in many ways can be detrimental to the child. Personally, my mother was not present for most of my childhood. However, it in no way hindered my growth as a child, instead it brought me up and made me very independent at a young age. Similar to reality, literature depicts the complexity of the relationships between a mother and daughter as well. In I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings by Maya Angelou, Maya’s mother abandons her as a young child and is an inconsistent presence in her life. In Emergence: Labeled Autistic by Temple Grandin, Temple’s mother is constantly devoted to her and gives her the best opportunities possible. While both Maya

    Women are blessed with what I consider is the biggest gift in the universe and that is to give life to what once was part of them. At some point in our lives we ask ourselves……. What is a good mother? Although there can be endless definitions, my definition of a good mother is based on what I consider to be morally right. A good mother always thinks about her children first, a good mother is always willing to give her life for her children, a good mother is soft and gentle with her children, but a good mother becomes aggressive and protective when her children are exposed to potential threats and a good mother will always want the best for her children.

It’s unbelievable how wide the disconnection seen when Krebs was having a dialogue with his mother. I think that she only shows empathy to Krebs on a surface level not like his father who he didn’t even talk about. Krebs mother focus too much on other people and being pressured by the community to get her son to be a useful part of the society, which I think is very insensitive especially for a mother. She diverts Krebs’ responses and makes him pray instead which shows that she doesn’t even listen to her son really. She makes Krebs feel worst when she subconsciously makes him feeling alienated among his own family and even in terms with God and

  • The Big Bang Theory: The Life Cycle Of The Universe

    318 Words  | 1 Pages

    The Big Bang Theory is the most logical and tested explanation for the universe. Scientists believe the universe began 13.7 billion years ago, when the universe exploded outward at ten billion Kelvin. Surprisingly, scientists believe the universe was smaller than an electron before it exploded. Also, the zone in which the big bang occurred doesn’t follow the common rules of physics. This is known as a singularity, which are believed to exist only in black holes. Sadly, scientists know very little about singularities because of their complexity and difficulty to study. Luckily, The Hadron Collider, a massive machine, has the capability to recreate a miniature big bang, which would allow scientists to study
