She does not understand the Nicky was trying to give her a gift from the heart. It later becomes clear that Nicky’s mother depends on the nanny to provide her daughter with love because her materialistic things are what’s important to her. Judging from this particular scene the rich mother don’t have time for her child because she was so busy living her own live. For me this scene this scene was very irreverent because I do not come from a royal upbringing like Nicky but some people do. For that reason alone I found this scene to be very clear, precise and unique because not only did it show how much a child yearn for a mother but also how much of an influence a mother is to their child. Therefore, although I cannot be certain I’m sure that the consequence of Nick having such a poor relationship with her mother played an important reason in why Nicky turned to drugs later in her …show more content…
Focusing on the Mother’s Day celebration is a brilliant way to take the long view of life at Litchfield, allowing viewers to examine many of the characters. By showing a variety of well-detailed and in-depth flashbacks the producers were able to show the effects a mother love can have on her. Also by showing a numerous amount of flashbacks viewers are able to understand a wide range of different point-of-view, all of which all important in their way. Each glimpse into the past is counterbalanced with a scene in the present, sketching out a rough path for each featured character and what led them to this day.

George and Ophelia grow up in significantly different environments with exposure to vastly dissimilar experiences; their diverse backgrounds have a profound impact on the way they interpret and react to situations as adults. George and Ophelia both grow up without their parents, but for different reasons. George grows up at the Wallace P. Andrews Shelter for Boys in New York. The Shelter’s strict surroundings did not provide the warm and inviting atmosphere that a mother strives for in a home. The employees at the Shelter are not “loving people,” (p. 23) but they are devoted to their job, and the boys. At a young age, Ophelia loses her mother. We learn very little about her apparently absent father. Mama Day and Abigail raise Ophelia. Abigail provides a source of comfort and love for Ophelia as she fulfills the role of mother figure. Mama day, Ophelia’s great aunt, acts more as a father figure. “If Grandma had been there, she would have held me when I broke down and cry. Mama Day only said that for a long time there would be something to bring on tears aplenty.” (p. 304). Ophelia grows up on the small island of Willow Springs. Everyone knows each other and their business, in the laid-back island community. The border between Georgia and South Carolina splits down the middle of the island. Instead of seeing any advantage to belonging to either state, the townspeople would prefer to operate independently. For George and Ophelia, the differences in their backgrounds will have a tremendous impact on many facets of their adult lives.
Gatsby would always try to control everything in Nick’s life and everyone that surrounds him. Nick has a very friendly and nice personality, and he, most of the time, sides with Gatsby. It can be implied that Gatsby take this nice character for granted for in one part of the novel, Gatsby tried to control everything that was needed to be taken care of when Daisy arrives. Gatsby used his money to buy the flowers and all the arrangements necessary for this
In the novel, Daisy is superficial and careless. Daisy, while lounging at the Buchanan mansion with Nick, Jordan, and Gatsby, chooses to briefly see and hug her daughter, Pammy, instead of spending any genuine time with her. As Nick correctly mentions, Daisy “wanted to show [Pammy] off,” but did not actually care for her (117). Daisy’s willingness to not actually care for her own daughter, but instead treat her as a plaything and symbol of wealth clearly displays Daisy’s superficiality. Daisy’s shallow attitude is not restricted, however, to her relationship with Pammy. Daisy relationship with Gatsby, in the novel, is financially based. In the novel, Gatsby uses financial imagery to describe falling in love with Daisy. Gatsby stresses Daisy “vanishing into her rich, full life,” and her status “above the hot struggles of the poor,” evidencing that Daisy considered herself “better” than others because she is rich. Daisy in the movie, however, appears gentle and kind, once again because of Luehrman's cuts. Luehrman chooses to cut the Daisy and Pammy scene, and by doing so, easily allows Daisy to be likeable. In addition, when Daisy views Gatsby’s fine silk shirts she cries because she missed Gatsby. Nick, in his voiceover for the scene says “Five lost years struggled on Daisy’s lips,” suggesting that Daisy cries because she is heartbroken. In the movie,

Coyne describes the human emotions and truly gives an accurate account of what being in a visitation room is like. “The Long Goodbye: Mother’s Day in Federal Prison” makes the reader question the criminal justice system and convinces him or her to adjust their way of thinking towards the definition of criminalization through the logos, pathos, and ethos demonstrated throughout the text.
29. Nick describes the charm of Daisy’s voice as “full of money”; he describes her later in that paragraph as “the golden girl”. In a sense to cash money Daisy is connected to his father 's vulgar work (mostly revolving/involving a nice flow of cash.)
According to Schreier, “Nick understands Gatsby's love for Daisy as ‘the following of a grail’” (Schreier). Gatsby tells Nick of the ends and outs of his emotions and passion towards Daisy in hopes that he will apprehend. Nick, from the beginning, pays attention to the difficulties the complicated couple both encounter. Nick Carraway attempts to reassure and relieve Gatsby and Daisy from their distant and long-lost relationship (Schreier). Nick said, “’They’re a rotten crowd. You’re worth the whole damn bunch put together. I’ve always been glad I said that. It ...
This quotation is expressing how Nick truly feels about Tom and Daisy. He feels as if the money that they have had with them all their lives has rendered them careless and unable to act as adults. They use their money as a production,
Released from the compelling power of her voice, Nick perceives this as yet another of his evening poses, a gesture emphasizes her relationship of a rather special set. He feels that she is deliberately trying to trick him into an emotional response and is therefore manipulating his feelings by the power of her voice; perhaps this is the reason why Nick stays completely quiet as Daisy spills out her emotions.
Throughout the emotional lyrics of Tupac Shakur’s song “Dear Mama”, he constantly reveals trial and tribulation.

... Nick makes a small funeral for Gatsby and Daisy does not attend it. He took the blame for her, and he is dead all because of her, he sacrificed for her. She and Tom decide to travel and take off. Also Nick breaks up with Jordan, and he moves back to Midwest because he has had enough of these people, and hates the people that were close to Gatsby and for bareness, emptiness, and cold heart they have of the life in the middle of the wealthy on the East Coast. Nick realizes, and reveals that Gatsby’s dream of Daisy was ruined by money and un-loyalty, dishonestly. Daisy all she cared about is wealth, she chased after the men that have a lot of money. Even though Gatsby has control, influence, and authority to change his dreams into making it into real life for him this is what Nicks says makes him a good man. Now both Gatsby’s dream and the American Dream are over.
‘Night Mother, a play by Marsha Norman, focuses on the last conversation between Mama and her daughter Jessie, before Jessie commits suicide. Jessie is in her late thirties or early forties; she is no angsty teenager trying to evoke anger from her mother. One could argue that this last conversation between Jessie and her mother centers around Jessie trying to ready her mother for her death, or trying to understand Mama’s choices over Jessie’s lifetime. Rather, Jessie chooses to tell her mother of her suicide plan to hurt her, and their conversation is about the mistakes Mama has made in regards to Jessie.
