Topic > Relationship: Mother and Children in Literature

Relationship: Mother and Children There are many relationships in this world and relationships basically depend on love, affection, care, respect, trust, etc. Relationships are often found between two or more people who have enough trust in each other; such as the relationship between friends, the relationship between teacher, the relationship between classmates and more, but the best relationship is the relationship between mother and children. It is because the mother is the door through which children enter this world. Therefore, it is the duty of children to appreciate their mother for the things she has done for them; and at the same time the mother can also raise her children with respect. In other words, because the mother suffered a lot of pain when she gave birth to the children, it does not necessarily mean that they can abuse the children or raise them without proper care. So, mother and children can help each other live life better with peace and happiness. In the book "A Short Life of Oscar Wao" Diaz Junot talked about Oscar's family that each of them has some kind of difficulty with their mother. Oscar Wao was known as a playboy in his school and never seemed serious with any of the girls he played with. However, he eventually fell in love with a girl in his school and as a result couldn't forget missing that girl. On the other hand, Oscar's mother doesn't want him to maintain his relationship with that girl. However, Oscar's life has changed dramatically to the point that he no longer seems to be a playboy, because Oscar was seriously loved by her and wanted to be with her forever. Oscar's mother didn't seem interested in Oscar's love and also seemed like she didn't care for her children, but she is really busy with her work and life. For example... middle of paper... she leaves her mother because she wanted to be free, Emily isn't sure if this was her true identity, or her mother's house, and Dorothy, wants to run away from her mother. They all seemed so free and dependent on themselves often forgetting their mother. Simply, everyone sees things differently. If we were each to write our own book; that would be 7 billion different books. Things as I see them may not be the same for others. So, I believe that by having a little trust and helping each other between a mother and a child, one can live life better with peace and happiness. Works Cited Díaz, Junot.
