    interesting to me that the more her mother got sick, the more Lola lashed out. It as if she was no longer feared her mother; she instead wanted to hurt her. Perhaps Lola took this callous approach after all the years of abuse. The author demonstrates through the change of Lola’s appearance; she dyes and shaves her hair, takes on a more “punk rock” look and these changes send her mother into a rage, She tries to force Lola to wear her wig; however, Lola sets it on fire. Although these changes were physical, I believe the author used them to show us that Lola wanted to be the opposite of what her mother wanted her to be.

    The theme that has been attached to this story is directly relevant to it as depicted by the anonymous letters which the main character is busy writing secretly based on gossip and distributing them to the different houses. Considering that people have an impression of her being a good woman who is quiet and peaceful, it becomes completely unbecoming that she instead engages in very abnormal behavior. What makes it even more terrible is the fact that she uses gossip as the premise for her to propagate her hate messages not only in a single household but across the many different households in the estate where she stays.

    Shelby’s fierce compassion readers can most likely identify a maternal figure in their life like one of these women. If luck would have it some mother’s could be gifted with all three bravery, elegance, and fierce compassion. Either way Stowe lays heavy on the ethos with these women characterized as three different females, but all as positive role models. It would be inaccurate to say that the maternal figure in a person’s life had no affect on shaping them as human beings today. Whether it be negatively or positively mother’s have an affect on a child’s life. It is profound how a mother’s love emanates to all facets of life and contributes to a child’s future perceptions of themselves and the world. Hopefully, children are able to receive a mother like Eliza, Rachel, or Mrs. Shelby. If not hopefully they are at least able to overcome the lack of a strong maternal figure in his or her
