Creative Writing: Mama's Gone Almost All Day
Mama’s been gone almost all day. She left to go to Grammy’s house, but she didn’t let me come with her. She said Grammy didn’t feel good and didn’t want to be around me. I really wished she’d let me come. I miss Grammy. Papa’s been shouting for a while today, but I can’t understand a lot of what he’s saying. He’s to scaring me. I want to ask if I can go to Victoria’s house, but the last time I got near him, he threw the phone at my head. He might be drunk. When I made lunch, I made him a bowl of soup. After I sat down in the kitchen, eating my lunch, he walked to the sink and poured it down. “Don’t make me food if you’re not able to make it taste decent,” he muttered, smacking me on the upside of my head, right where the phone had hit me. “You ruined a clean bowl and a perfectly fine can of soup your mother could’ve made ten times better than you ever could.” …show more content…

“I c-c-can m-make you another, if y-y-you w-want—” Another hit. “Don’t you dare waste more food, you brat,” he growled. “You aren’t the one who has to pay for

    The first paragraph of the story tells us that the mother loved her daughters very much. She prepared everything such as making the yard so clean just to wait for her daughter to come. Therefore, we can say that the mother is a loving mother. In the paragraph number four, the mother tells the readers that she dreamed a dream that one day she and her daughter Dee brought together on a TV show and her daughter would tell the world how she was proud of her mother.

    Mama Archetype Essay

    • 319 Words
    • 2 Pages

    Furthermore, her characteristics align with that of the ‘Mammy’ archetype, and she is portrayed as an elderly, loving motherly figure, providing to her family’s needs. However, she is also depicted as somewhat uneducated and bound by the traditions of her past, which reinforces the ‘Mammy’ archetype, of a women who despite being a caring motherly figure, does not know much outside of her household duties due to a lack of opportunity to further educate herself. This ‘uneducated’ attitude can be particularly seen through Mama’s interactions with Beneatha, a more educated and modern young female characters, in their discussions regarding heritage and education. Mama is unable to understand Beneatha’s refusal to assimilate and need to express herself as an African-American women who is proud of her heritage, asking her continuously ‘what is it you want to express?’ This creates a sense of irony around the situation by displaying Mama’s lack of understanding towards Beneatha’s desire to destroy societies black stereotypes, whilst allowing Hansberry to simultaneously reinforce the concept that Mama is a stereotypical character stuck in the ‘Mammy’ archetype and unable to break out of it.…
