- 1031: Sesxism
- ... country where they know "what life is all about." (See Endnote #1) I have often consulted my grandparents about their experiences, and I find their historical perspective enlightening. My grandmother was pregnant with her third child in 1949. Her work experience included: interior design and modeling women's clothes for the Sears catalog. I asked her to read the Friedan essay and let me know if she felt as moved as ... a mother. Justice Blackmun delivered the following opinion: Maternity, or additional offspring, may force upon the woman a distressful life and future. Psychological harm may be imminent. Mental and physical health may be taxed by child care. There is also a distress, for all concerned, associated with the unwanted child, and there is the problem of bringing a child into a family already unable, psychologically and otherwise, to care for it. In other cases, as in this one, the additional difficulties and continuing stigma ...
- 1032: Premature Infancy
- ... control of its actions. The main underdeveloped parts of a premature baby are its organs, chiefly the lungs and the brain. The lungs are developed in the last few weeks of pregnancy, and if the child is born before the thirty sixth week, he/she may require some special attention. Usually, the child is monitored closely for the first few weeks of its life, in order to make sure there is no problems with the breathing or any other function of its body. The premature baby will probably ... for the doctor to work with the baby and keep the skin's stress levels to a minimum. Even though the parents may want to hold and cuddle their baby, it is best for the child and the parents if they keep to a minimum the handling of a preemie.

- 1033: The Scarlet Letter: Symbolism
- ... witch baby (Matthiessen 104). She is a baffling mixture of strong emotions with a fierce temper and a capacity for evil. With Pearl, Hester’s life became one of constant nagging, and no joy. The child could not be made amenable to rules. Hester even remarks to herself, “Oh Father in heaven – if thou art still my father – what is this being which I have brought into the world” (Hawthorne 89 ... 108). Their sins include lying to the people about the affair that led to Pearl. Hester realizes what Pearl represents when she does not hold Pearl up in front of the “A.” She carries the child around because it is a direct reflection of her sin. Hester is, “wisely judging that one token of her shame would but poorly serve to hide another” (Hawthorne 48). Dimmesdale’s sin is not adultery ... into something overpowering and horrible, it is Pearl who points at it, “smiling at her mother with the elfish intelligence that was so familiar an expression on her small physiognomy” (Hawthorne 99). Even as a child, Pearl is affixed to the letter “and, putting up her little hand, she grasped it, [the letter] smiling, not doubtfully, but with a decided gleam” (Hawthorne 90). Pearl’s tendency to focus on the ...
- 1034: Ernest Miller Hemingway
- ... that Hemingway's romance was short-lived, while, the book seemed to indicate that, Henry's romance, though they never married, was strong and would have lasted. In A Farewell to Arms, Catherine and her child died while she was giving birth, this was not the case with Agnes who left Henry for an Italian Army officer. It seems to me that the differences between the two men were only surface ... to expose his life to everyone, and so the slight changes would prove that it was not himself and his own experiences which he was writing about. I believe that Hemingway had Catherine and her child die, not to look different from his own life, but because he had a sick and morbid personality. There is great power in being an author, you can make things happen which do not necessarily occur in real life. It is obvious that Hemingway felt, as a young child and throughout his life, powerless, and so he created lives by writing stories. Hemingway acted out his feelings of inadequacy and powerlessness by hunting, drinking, spending lots of money and having many girlfriends. I ...

Oedipus was the child of Jocasta and King Laius who was taken to the mountain by a shepard to be killed so the omen of the god apollo that Laius son would kill him and lay with Jocasta ...
- 1036: A Two Career Family Vs. A One
- ... that our relationship is strong even though Mom and Dad are working Monday through Friday- just like a one career family. Communication between parents and their children is a important part of life that a child needs. For instance a child who spends all of his time away from his parents may grow up and feel as if he was unwanted or in the way; however, a child that has extra time spent with him/her would feel loved and supported. Uninterrupted, completely focused time makes a child feel loved and supported. Another contrast of a two career family vs. a one- ...

Curves that are discovered when they exceed twenty degrees should get treated immediately ... the spine, the maturation of the bones, and the degree of curvature (Scoliosis. 1997). In most instances mild scoliosis (twenty degrees or less) requires no specific treatment. Yet these curves are carefully watched during a child’s growing years.

- ... to perform unbelievable tricks that captivate the audience’s attention. Spectators, especially children, become amazed at the talent and accomplishments of so many different animals.

It is like they are objects and their only purpose is to ... who has fought for circus animals for twenty-five years, “ there are no kind animal trainers.” (Greene). Thus, circuses should not have the right to use animals for entertainment. There is a high amount of abuse that lies behind the performance of circus animals.
