Runaway Mothers: Reasons For Leaving
[ send me this essay ]
3 pages in length. Family and motherhood can be two very overwhelming aspects of an individual's life; even when things are going well and without incident, the responsibilities inherent to child upbringing and maintaining an intact family can be quite a challenge. For some women, however, the task of raising another human being instills a sense of desperation and hopelessness that can drive them away in the search for peace of mind. For others, spousal abuse creates an unlivable situation and the only way for the woman to survive is to leave her home and baby behind. Still others are incapable of financially affording what it costs to raise a child and must hand over the baby to family, friends or the welfare system in order for the child to have any chance at a decent life. Clearly, the notion of motherhood may revolve around a fairytale-like feeling at the outset, however, when the honeymoon period wears off and the reality of the situation emerges, some mothers believe they have no other choice but to leave. Bibliography lists 3 sources.

Sarah Orne Jewett’s “The White Heron” and Representations of Gender
[ send me this essay ]
This 7 page report discusses a short story written by of Sarah Orne Jewett (1849 - 1909) demonstrates her deep connection to the natural world and her understanding of the relationship between humans and their environment and how that relationship has an impact on the self. Upon a first reading of “A White Heron,” one can make the assumption that the deceptively simple piece is quite nearly a children’s story and not much more. But from a larger or community perspective, the story is about the socialization of girls, the training to fulfill a man’s desires, the balance of power between the sexes, and the need for women to be true to their nature. Emily Dickinson’s short poem, “A Light Exists in Spring” is also used compared to the short story. Bibliography lists 3 sources.
