I love you mom P142-P178

Unconditional Love
Written by Christine Todd Whitman
For this essay the author show a brand new form for writing an article. The way she wrote this paper is between poem and summary. The main purpose of this essay is all around one word “Thank you”. I can feel she felt sorrow while she was writing this. She first thanked her mom for creating a wonderful relationship between. She always gave her understanding and treated her as an adult. Second, she thanked for her mom’s encouraging that made her travel around the world, keep challenging new stuff, and also give back to community. Then, she was very appreciating for what her mom did to her marriage. But she, finally, lost her mom like anybody else. She is now put her mom’s love inside her soul, and will live with it forever.

Never Another Like My Mother
Written by Cindy Adams
The author lost her mom just a week ago when she wrote this essay. The fact for her at that time was unacceptable. According to this essay the author’s mom was a writer for the local news paper. Once her mom was writing a journal about how she feels to teach children, her mom said to spoil children is not wrong. The wrong thing is not to support their children. The mom in this essay always showed her support for her children. The mother’s day was coming soon, but the author was won’t be able to celebrate for her any.

My opinion
I kind of find the order of this book. I talked about how those authors’ mom supported them. And then, I see how life could be hard for single moms who raise their children by themselves. Now I see how is the authors thinking after they lost their moms. For the two paragraphs above the author were all lost their moms. However, the different between those two is first one is for memorizing mom and the second one is to show us how sad the author was since she just lost her mom. But, like what I mentioned before, the love with mom will never disappeared.
