I walked out bringing Mama’s purse and holding her other arm. Mama pulled her arm away from me and said, “I am good! I can walk by myself! Don’t you worry about me at all!” Mama was a very independent woman. I knew she did not want me helping me to much. Eric got my keys and went out to the garage and pulled my car out. He was ready to follow Sheldon in Mama’s van. We got Mama into her van and Sheldon drove her home. I knew they would get Mama home safely and they would stay with her until they were sure she was all right. I stood in the driveway until they were out of my sight. There was something terribly wrong with that whole episode. Mama was not one to get weak like that. I decided that when the time was right, I would ask her what was really going on. After Sheldon, Eric and Mama left my house I grabbed my lighter, my cigarettes and my cell phone and went out to my back yard. I sat down on my lawn chair in the sun. I lit up a cigarette. I could finally smoke in peace. I savored every second! I chilled out and began the process of unwinding. The next day I was off from work and I was glad about it. In fact, I decided to take off the rest of the week. There was only Thursday and Friday left anyway. Morgan was doing fine. Paul had taken a week off from work to be with her. Sheldon was home for good. He was on the hunt for a job. He did not care where, he just needed a job. Eric was attending school as usual. Since Paul was taking care of Morgan, I rested most of the day. I went into her room and talked with her from time to time, but Paul made sure that everything was going smoothly for Morgan. I also called Mama to see if she was at home. I was going to stop by her house to make sure she was ok. I called her house pho... ... middle of paper ... ...p trying to have this conversation with Gabe. No wonder Nadia is sitting on the couch rocking back and forth like a demon possessed nut case. I would half way feel sorry for her if she were not so damn mean and hard on women! “Gabe, only thing I am going to say is that you have your work cut out for you. Who knows, maybe she can make that kind of change. I wish you both all the best.” Gabe really believed that he was trying to do what was best for his wife and maybe that is the best thing for her, I have no idea. I just hoped that they both get to a good space. However, I did feel sorry for Nadia, trying to live up to what Gabe and the rest of that congregation considered to be normal and she cannot be herself. If Nadia has children, God forbid she should have to raise a daughter, hating women the way that she does or maybe that would be the best karma for her.
On the way home, my mom asks me, “Why did you have your arm behind your back the whole time
All she said to Mama was “she’s dead” (Walker 318). She does not give an explanation further than that, and I can tell that Mama is hurt because she brings up where the name Dee came
Hard work was a big part of the family’s survival but the family also needed loving care supplied by Mama. Mama showed her loving care by keeping her family well fed. When Bud Sanderson comes to claim Old Yeller Mama ma...
...ccomplish this if they all understand what is important in life. All of Mama’s dreams are eventually recognized, although they certainly appear hazy throughout the play. The question about whether or not they should keep the house forms inside Mama’s head near the end of the play, but she quickly changes her mind. Mama never lost sight of her goals, no matter how hard nature attacked them.
Mama’s room was dominated by the four-poster bed. On her dresser there were herbs that were used to make purgatives and teas. Everyone got a hot cup of tea if they had any problem. This shows us that Mama had knowledge about the herbs and since she is a grandmother, she is experienced. She had monstrous chifforobe which she kept locked with a little key, and no one was allowed to open it, even though she never hid the key. No one was allowed to sleep with her in her room, not even Papa, suggesting her power in the family, which was similar to that of a
Mama is not in the book present walking along the road with the boy and papa, but only in the tellings of her by papa. Papa shares that the new world became too much for mama to handle, and she did not want to face one more day of it. Mama killed herself, she was not cable of being strong enough to survive like the boy and Papa. Though her death was not be taken lightly, the boy and Papa found hope in her death to carry them through. The two boys knew that she was now at peace, and they had to keep carrying the fire for her. “The one thing I can tell you is that you won’t survive for yourself. I know because I would never have come this far.”(57 ) Through the death of mama papa and the boy both have a reason to keep going, to keep living, to survive for
Mama asks for Walter's approval, Walter says, "What you need me to say you done right for? You head of this family. You run our lives like you want to. It was your money and you did what you wanted with it. So what you need me to say all right for? So you butchered up a dream of mine-you-who always talking 'bout your children's dreams'..."(537). Walter is further emasculated by Mama's decision to buy the house, without Walter's opinion or thoughts on the matter.Walter's manhood is jeopardized by Mama's mindset of him as a child and her decision to make such a large decision on her own for the
When Mom picked me up, the silence was so tense that you can cut it with a knife. We never said anything throughout the entire ride. When we arrived at the hospital, we went to Emily's room. Emily was awake and Grandpa was talking to her.

Mama is a powerful, strong witted person. She has a lot of control in this play and dominates as a woman character. This is unusual because this is usually a male’s position in life. She is a woman, “who has adjusted to many things in life and overcome many more, her face is full of strength”. In this play she is illustrated as taking over for the head of the family and controls the lives of everyone in her house. Rules are followed to Mama’s extent. She controls what is said and done in her house. After Walter yells, “WILL SOMEBODY PLEASE LISTEN TO ME TODAY!” (70). Mama responds in a strong tone of voice saying, “I don’t ‘low no yellin’ in this house, Walter Lee, a...
Mama talks about what to say at the funeral, who to call, and what to do afterwards. From the beginning until the end, Thelma’s development can be seen in several ways. By accepting her wishes, the audience could view her in positive or negative ways, however, her devastation is clear throughout. Upon hearing the shot, her mother does as she says and makes several phone calls and walks away.
Now we had to make the long trip back to Mrs. Tina’s house. It was such a long day, and we were extremely tired so we decided to skip dinner. We took showers, put on our pajamas, brushed are teeth, and went to bed. Over the next few days we went to the beach, had picnics in the park, went bike riding and skating, and took a trip to the mall. We had such a fun week, but now it was time to go home. So, we thanked Mrs. Tina and her family for being so generous and welcoming to us. We told them that they would have to come visit us so we could return their kindness they showed us. So, we gave them hugs and kisses and we headed back to Las Vegas.
