The movie Big Daddy would be a great movie to choose to watch when observing parenting. This movie demonstrates how someone‚ who has no idea of what it is like to have children‚ plays the role of a parent. It all started when a person from child services dropped Julian of at Sonny’s apartment. He agrees to take care of the little boy and adopt him because he believes that his girlfriend‚ Vanessa‚ will have a pronatalism attitude about this adoption and that will help prove to his girlfriend that

JJournal Entry 1 I enjoyed reading Mary Gaitskill’s “Tiny‚ Smiling Daddy” because it elicited a strong emotional reaction from me‚ which is what I think any form of art should do. The protagonist of the story‚ the father‚ had an extremely abrasive attitude. He seemed irritable and the tone of the story made him sound conceited. I also found it odd how much the father cared about his daughter’s appearance. At some points he describes her as “skinny and ugly” and at other points he describes her as

In her poem Daddy‚ Sylvia Plath creates a speaker that embodies a fierce internal struggle embedded with a great fear of her true personal identity. Drawing on themes of persecution‚ violence‚ and victimization‚ the speaker begins to form her identity and battles with her father’s past. Throughout the poem she repeatedly persecutes her father‚ denying all connection to the Nazi identity he once held. In contrast to her father‚ the speaker never explicitly mentions her mother‚ only implying that she

Although many mothers raise their children alone‚ the role fathers play remains irreplaceable. Working hard throughout the day‚ fathers generally act as the sole or primary source of income for their families.

In spite of this‚ she loves “Ddaddy” (or used to love him) so much that he was a great part of her life‚ as we can notice in lines such as “I used to pray to recover you” which I think means that she wants to recover her daddy from hatred and evil‚ but she was unable to make him change. Better said‚ she never did anything in order to change him but she was just expecting her father to be kind and poor‚ so she had to “kill” him. The narrator had to “kill” her father in her
