- 991: Fetal Alcohol Syndrome
- ... use can cause physical and mental disabilities in infants and children. According to Anderson "fetal alcohol syndrome (FAS) is expressed as a pattern of mental, physical, and behavioral defects which may develop in the unborn child when the mother consumes alcohol during the course of her pregnancy" (88). This can be a very dangerous situation having symptoms that last a lifetime, sometimes leading to death. Although some researchers argue that there ... low weight, poor eyesight, learning disabilities, hyperactivity, and some even have severe heart and brain problems. Alcohol attacks virtually any of the body's cell (Dorfman, 60). Mid-facial abnormalities are a part of the child for life. Some of these common abnormalities are a broad nasal bridge, poorly developed filtrum, thin upper limit, flattening of the axillary area, and a short upturned or beak-like nose. Some of the more ... there is a safe drinking limit and that alcohol is not always the cause of fetal alcohol syndrome. I feel that it is a tragedy that a mother would risk FAS in an innocent unborn child with even a few drinks. The researchers argue that fetal alcohol syndrome is hereditary from a mother to her unborn child. It has been proven that even the littlest bit alcohol can cause physical ...
- 992: Ernest 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 ...
- 993: Feminism And Gender Equality In The 1990's
- ... 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 ...
- 994: Grapes Of Wrath - Rose Of Shar
- Misfit to Madonna: Rose of Sharon’s Transformation When Rose of Sharon is first introduced in The Grapes of Wrath, we learn that she is expecting a child from her new husband, Connie Rivers. She is described as a mystical being whose primary concern is the well-being of her child, even at the almost ridiculously early stage of her pregnancy at the start of the novel. It is this concern that illustrates Rose of Sharon’s transformation from misfit to Madonna through the Joad’s ... illusory, in order to escape her harsh reality once again. When Rose of Sharon’s baby is finally born, she expects to be rewarded for every moment and thought devoted to the life of her child. Instead, the baby is dead; her energies have been wasted, overcome by the reality she tried so hard to avoid by plunging her actions into the care of her child. She finally, truly sees ...
- 995: Smerdyakov
- ... enough, he vehemently denies any of it happening. Later, when Lizaveta gives birth to Fyodor's illegitimate son, it is Grigory and Marfa who take the boy in, baptize him, and decide to raise the child. The townspeople mistakenly credit Fyodor for taking the dead woman's child into his house. All of these disturbing actions on the part of Fyodor are cause for his punishment. While Fyodor neglected his fatherly duties to his other three sons, to this fourth, he rejects them ... about his mistreatment. Smerdyakov seems to be innately aware of the violence, disrespect, and cruelty from which he was conceived. He is outwardly cold and passionless. Inwardly, he has a lot of anger. As a child, he maliciously unleashes this inward wrath in the ceremonial killing of cats. Thanks to a frank and mean-spirited admonition by Grigory, he is fully aware of his position as a subordinate in the ...
- 996: Careful, He Might Hear You
- ... his deceased mother, Sinden. The mere calling of his name, PS, reminds him that he is a "post script" of his mother's "ridiculous life". Elliot delves into the innocent musings and ruminations of this child. He conveys PS's feelings and understanding with sparkling clarity. This alone displays how an innocent child is affected by the battle that rages over him, a battle that he has no control over. PS was settled in life until Vanessa entered and shattered it into disharmony. The arrival and presence of ... in his home, school, and lifestyle. All of this was done against the will of PS, who strongly resented the proposition of these changes. This incident displays the lack of importance the opinion of a child holds in society. PS disliked Vanessa, but his opinion was held irreverent. This was made apparent by his experiences of acute nostalgia. Lila, his pseudo-mother, was mawkishly protective of PS. Instead of revealing ...
- 997: Science and Ethics
- ... live without the procedure being done, then it is acceptable. But nowadays, doctors are performing genetic engineering to pre-determine the baby’s sex. If parents are now allowed to choose the sex of their child, who can say where to stop? Every parent would want their child to be the "perfect" child. How the child looks, how it thinks, and anything else would be the parents choice and that is not their decision. It is God’s. This is not how God made the world to ...

- ... really hate my job." "Really," replied Claire in a sarcastic tone, "Who doesn't hate little brats crawling around on your lap." Joe sat down in his special Santa chair and waited for the first child to come forward. The fist kid was about five yrs. old. Joe thought he was disgusting. The child was wearing cuarteroy overalls with a white turtleneck underneath. The cuarteroys had crusty stains of peanut butter all down the front of his navy blue overalls. Making a revolting contrast between colors. The turtleneck seemed ... dream. The kid hopped on his lap and in a happy voice said, "Hi Mr. Santa Clause, can I tell you what I want for Christmas?" "Ya sure kid, go ahead." Joe replied. As the child dragged on about his stupid toys and things he wanted, Joe thought about something else, his revenge. Revenge to get back at all these little punks who have annoyed him ever since he got ...
