Essays on Mum

Although the access to birth control is widely recognized as the prerequisite of happy parenthood, in some places it still is not used for some reasons – either because of economic reasons, or due to different prejudices. For instance, as it was in the book “Not For Everyday Use”, some families maintain conscious objection of any birth control methods because of their strong religious beliefs. Frankly speaking, it is complicated to evaluate such position, not sharing the same strong belief; it is difficult to understand, whether people choose such position by free will, or it’s a blind following, or ...

Having theoretically acquainted with pillow method, I immediately mentioned about current disagreement between me and my mum as regards the location of future vacation. I’ve even smiled ironically to myself, as any method could persuade me that mum’s custom to rest solely in countryside has anything sound in it. Nevertheless, for performing the task required, I’ve decided to follow the pillow method, without any hope for success. The first position, no doubt, looks like clear and the only right: namely, mum is completely wrong, as it’s too unwise to neglect all the world’s beauty ...

Below you will see the genogram of my family created using GenoPro 2016 software (No author, 2016).

Despite the fact that currently my family is quite large, it is almost impossible to trace the genealogical tree too far. I have managed to find information about my great-grandparents from my mother’s side. From the side of my father, the situation is much worse, as only scraps of information could have been found about his parents. My Granddad o my father’s side grew up in an orphanage and then immigrated to the USA from England. Here he met my Grandmother and they got married. Grandma Karen was not much of a source of information, even if ...

The lights say nothing of their purpose. The city splits the view as a narrow band in darkness fractured by the lines of light from its houses, from its streets, life contrasting with black emptiness but conveying no meaning. From far away the details evaporate. Personal existences, millions of them, in all their action, all their dreams, signal their presence anonymously. The clouds above, barely perceptible, present as much to the camera in their transient passing as these millions of people reduced to mere light present as signifiers, place marks, splats on a map, splats that barely rise above ...

Thesis: D'Arcy McNickle's ‘The Surrounded’ sparked the renaissance of Native American Literature and reinvented American Indian Story Telling.

Native Americans found themselves lost in the cultural matrix that was controlled by the whites. Indians make the biggest portion of Native Americans, and their interrelationships with other people and races resulted to a dilution of their cultures such that it was difficult to find a pure Indian. For McNickle, he qualified for an Indian through the ‘quarter Indian’ requirement that meant someone had to have at least a grandparent of the Indian origin. The novel, The Surrounded was his first book, published in 1935 after the previous series of rejections. Interestingly, it was one of the rejection letters ...

Child investigation is a very tricky activity owing to age sensitivity of the child which, if wrongly done, it could have adverse ramifications on the child. However, this action is necessary as it provides a substantial basis for evidence collection during the investigation (Hammer, Moynihan, and Pagliaro, 2013). The fact that child testimony and evidence carries significant weight in terms of evidence also opens it up to instances which are sensitive to the child that may result in collection of the wrong evidence provided as a result of various causes such as pleasing the interviewer, forgetfulness, or failure to ...

I was ten years old when my parents decided to bring an angel to our home. This incident changed everything about our family. Ever since children started seeking refuge in our home, none of them were older than me apart from the new one.

I had very hard time accepting the fact that I was no longer the only child leave ...

1. How do you and your parents best communicate? I communicate really well with my mum. We spend a lot of time in the car together and I find that’s a really good time for us to talk. My dad is much quieter and I don’t think we really understand each other. He never asks what I’m doing and I never ask him anything. And if I do I just get such a short answer, it makes me regret it. He makes me really angry sometimes.

2. What do you feel you contribute to your community? If ...

‘You have to close your eyes,’ Megan said. Smiling, Frankie closed her eyes and allowed Megan to lead her into the room.‘Okay,’ said Megan, ‘open!’

Frankie opened her eyes and stared. There, on her chest of drawers, propped against the wall, was a beautiful mirror. It was large in size – Frankie could see her and Megan’s full reflections from their thighs upwards – and it was framed in white marble, carved into the shapes of flowers and leaves, running down the side of the mirror.

‘It’s beautiful.’ Frankie ran her hand down the side of the mirror, pausing ...

I was born and bred in our Midwest farm whereby I had dreamt for a long time of visiting the ocean until one day, at the summer of 1980, my mother told me that we were to pay my aunt Carolyn who by then resided in Havelock a visit. I was so much ecstatic since I could finally get to feel the sand and the ocean water, something I had dreamt of for long. The journey to Havelock was smooth and we managed to get to our destination safe and sound.

Upon reaching the ocean, and after the usual family debating ...
