“How can it be, after all this concentrated effort and separation, how can it be that I still resemble, so very closely, my own detestable mother?” with his destruction of the human race. He uses logical thinking to come to the conclusion that the earth is dying, and will no longer be able to support humanity. He therefore decides to destroy humans quickly, all at once, in order to save as much of the planet as he can. He leaves behind the Crakers, a genetically modified breed of humans, which he believes to be far superior to the race he destroys. This mass genocide would not be possible from someone with a normal amount of empathy for his fellow man. Another aspect of this lack of empathy is a heightened ego. Crake believes he is
No matter what actions or words a mother chooses, to a child his or her mother is on the highest pedestal. A mother is very important to a child because of the nourishing and love the child receives from his or her mother but not every child experiences the mother’s love or even having a mother. Bragg’s mother was something out of the ordinary because of all that she did for her children growing up, but no one is perfect in this world. Bragg’s mother’s flaw was always taking back her drunken husband and thinking that he could have changed since the last time he...
...to be two different people, she constantly nags herself. “Sometimes she scolded herself so severely as to bring tears into her eyes” (Carroll 16).

I had come to feel that my mother’s love for me was designed solely to make me into an echo of her; and I didn’t know why but I felt that I would rather be dead than become just an echo of someone (Page 36).
Is there any idea worth more than a human life? In The Crucible by Arthur Miller, John Proctor decides that he has nothing left to live for, and therefore becomes a martyr. The question for him or one in his position would be whether or not there exist causes worth dying for and if his position is one such case. There is no principle worth more than a person’s life and therefore principles worth dying for, only principles worth living for.
I handed my school photograph to my mother. She stared from the photograph to me. Lord sweet Lord how come she so ugly. UGLY. UGLY.'

This captivation with herself along with the constant looking in the mirrors and thinking her mother was only pestering her all the time because her mother’s own good looks were long gone by now (225) shows a sign of immaturity because she believes everything revolves around whether or not someo...
In conclusion, throughout the heartbreaks and suffering I have been through I have attempted to stand strong and persevere in life even if life is not perfect I can still succeed.

It’s like a smell you can’t get rid of when something’s died under the floorboards… She put her hands over her eyes as if she was ashamed of this physical display of grief. He thought, this is all my work…He thought to himself, it isn’t fair.
...n her mind is more important than his words. It is an example of the patriarchal society that they live in; although he is her father and has the parental power over her he would most likely not speak to a son in such a demeaning tone. He makes her seem to be slow, as if she cannot carry on a conversation or listen to him, which is quite demeaning.
My mom is a unique woman. She is quite short, yet she’s full of energy. She has black hair cropped down to her shoulders and has golden streaks running through them. She has big dark brown eyes which open, to discover the wonders of the world. “Time changes people,” she always says. No matter what people say to her, she doesn’t let it aff...
