    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.

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

    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

    She seemed to be the stereotypical conservative mother who knows nothing but to pressure her child to be someone of service to the community because that’s what she sees her friends and their sons do. 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

Luckily, The Hadron Collider, a massive machine, has the capability to recreate a miniature big bang, which would allow scientists to study

    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.

    One way mothers and fathers are different is Mothers are more worrisome than fathers. Mothers are always worried that their young will get hurt, sometimes being over-protective.
