The novel A Thousand Splendid Suns by Khaled Hosseini is split into four sections. In Part I of the novel, it was told from Mariam’s third person point of view. Part II shifts to the perspective of Laila, who is growing up in Kabul not far from Rasheed and Mariam’s house, but who is getting an education thanks to her progressive father, Babi. After a nine-year jump and a shift of perspective, we have left the realm of a husband’s brutality to enter that of a close family relationship. “She was a pari, a stunner, Mammy said.

With the information provided Jeff’s relation to the message is the need for the message, his family crisis, but The Human Resources office cares most about the shift being covered by Jeff, and not his personal problems.

In novel No-No Boy, Japanese-American writer, John Okada, tells a story centered around the life of a young Japanese-American boy named Ichiro Yamada who was seen and treated as a “No-No boy” during/after World War II.

The novel discussed the continuous struggle of Japanese-American community in the racially alienated American society during that time period

The absence of a fatherly figure in each Wes’s life is significant for different reasons but coherently shapes their futures. Joy’s husband was a role model for Wes, he supported his family and taught Wes how to act like a respectable man. Unfortunately, he died due to illness. Mary on the other hand had the job of raising Wes on her own because Wes’s father was not present. Wes only had his brother Tony to look up to, Tony had followed a path of crime and uncertainty. Although in Tony’s best effort he tried to steer Wes down another path so he did not follow in his footsteps, however, Wes chose to live a life of crime. In Mary’s defense she was blinded by her motherly intuition and made excuses for Wes and believed his word in times of doubt.

W. Clement Stone, a well known businessman and book author once said, “Like success, failure is many things to many people. With positive mental attitude, failure is a learning experience, a rung on the ladder, and a plateau at which to get your thoughts in order to prepare to try again”. This quote epitomizes the central idea behind Mother to Son by Langston Hughes. Taking slow and careful steps as you walk up the stairs filled with obstacles and distractions, is a perfect correlation of succeeding and failing through every step you take in life. This illustration of succeeding and failing with every step taken is a perfect way to gain experience.

A boy who shared a close relationship with his father now hates, and refuses to speak to him. He did everything in his adolescent years to bond with his father. The boy had to other siblings, but neither was as close to the father as the boy who now lashes out towards him. Where did this all spiral down, how could a close and healthy relationship between a father and son go as sour as it did? The father never changed in his ways, but the boy lost contact with what was real and what was made up in his mind. The clinical therapies view the boy’s issues in different insights of what could have been the underlying reason.

Jordan (2011) writes about the application of relational-cultural theory to mother-daughter relationships. Relational-cultural theory argues that the mother-child relationship continually changes due to social context and time, and therapy can help children rework empathic failures and acute disconnections to question the absolute certainty of poor mothering. There were several statements that Jordan (2011) argued that I found particularly applicable to my life. The book chapter mentions that immigrant mothers tend to lose the support of a larger family network, and this can affect mothering. There is also the mention of a desire for connection, and the lack of a connection can lead to an inability to be authentic in a relationship.

In the poem, “Mother to Son” by Langston Hughes, he uses symbolism of the staircase to show that even if life isn’t the easiest or the fullest of riches, people must have the courage and determination to push forward and not give up. A mother is telling her son how the stairs have, “had tacks in it, and splinters, and boards torn up,” and when she wanted to give up there was, “places with no carpet on the floor--bare.” The mother explains using the staircase, that there has been hardships, obstacles in life, and times when she's wanted to give up, but there wasn’t anyone or anything to comfort her. Even though in life everything isn’t always in her favor, she shows that she still persevered on. She used her own life experiences to inspire her

When children are born, they become attached to their mother since she has been their source of life from the second they become an organism. She is the primary caretaker who also sustains this child's life as she continues to grow. When analyzing what a genuine mother-daughter connection is, it’s important that the mother establishes a sense of security, support, and trust during this growing up period. Psychology Today suggests in infancy and childhood, a daughter catches the first glimpse of herself in her mother. If her mother is loving and caring, the baby is securely attached; she learns that she is loved and lovable. When the child feels they are worthy of affection and attention, of being seen and heard this becomes the foundation

“Every father should remember that one day his son will follow his example instead of his advice.” This quote by Charles F Kettering embodies what a father son relationship really is. A father is someone a son looks up to, whether in a good or bad light depends on the situation. Father son relationships can take two paths, one where the son does everything the father hates and the others were the son does everything the father does. Fathers play a major role in their son’s life with examples of the relationship found throughout the novel Things Fall Apart by Chinua Achebe in the characters of Okonkwo, Nwoye and Unoka.

The purpose of the study “Traditional and Nontraditional Mothers' Communication with Their Daughters and Sons” was to determine if in fact there is a difference between the way a mother communicates with her son and with her daughter. There are two hypotheses: 1) that using different linguistic qualities can be characterized by who the mother is speaking to, be it son or daughter. 2) that mothers with nontraditional views on the roles of males and females will relate to their children in a less “sex-role differentiated” or sexist manner than traditional mothers. The subjects for this study included 40 middleclass mother-child pairs in a suburban community. The mothers were contacted by phone and asked to be a part of a study that would observer their interaction at home. A scale called “Spence and Helmeich Attitude toward Woman” was used to measure the mother’s thoughts on male superiority, equal opportunity, sex and social relations between men and women. During the home visit each child was given five tasks made up of Storytelling and teaching which alternated every session. After giving the mothers books with just picture, no words they were asked to tell a story to the child and then have the child sort a group of objects.

It is said that a father and son’s bond is unbreakable, that one’s father is his first hero. Small moments between a father and his son can not only shape their character, but also their relationship. This is also portrayed throughout the novel, The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini, where the miscommunications and bonds between a father and his son and how this can change one’s character completely. Hosseini uses this novel to further demonstrate that even though a relationship between a father and his son may start off rough, through time and progression, the broken bond between a father and a son may be able to be recovered. This is demonstrated when Baba and Amir are not able to connect and have the father-son bond they need, when this bond is finally gained, and when Baba passes away.

Mary is a 14 month little girl, wearing a fluffy dress, large hair bow and Maryjane shoes, accompanied by her mother Lana to a children’s museum.

A sociological thought piece, Chris McKinney’s The Tattoo is bursting with toxic relationships. Amongst these, McKinney uses the strained kinship between Ken Hideyoshi and his father to partially explain how people fall into cycles of violent behaviour. To understand the richness of the text, violence will be characterised as the intentional or unintentional application of force, and/or power resulting in psychological, emotional and/or physical harm, whether it is for the perpetrator’s advantage or not. Thus, a wide definition is given to encompass the numerous acts of harm occurring throughout the novel. Ken’s father is a man instilled with traditional values and beliefs. Therefore, strength and fearlessness are expected to be in Ken to make him tough and prepared to face the world. The reader witnesses these notions take root and unfurl into his father’s ideas of the epitome of hegemonic masculinity. Consequently, this essay will analyse the connection between Ken Hideyoshi and his father as it progresses throughout the novel by looking at how socialisation, hegemonic masculinity and family violence lead impressionable people into deviant lifestyles.
