When I was first asked to give a talk on mothers‚ since it would be mother’s day. I started wondering how Mother’s Day came to be. I was surprised to discover that Mother’s Day has a history longer than Christianity! Ancients celebrated Isis (Mother of the Pharaohs)‚ Rhea (Greek Mother of the Gods)‚ and Cybele (The Great Mother). The worship of these ancient goddesses is similar to the reverence we show to Mary‚ Jesus’ mother as these Mother Goddesses are often depicted with a baby in arms.

"MOTHER TO SON" OF LANGSTON HUGHES "Mother to Son" of Langston Hughes is my favorite. What the mother in the poem tries to tell her son is that there will be many rough roads that he has to go by in his life but she hopes that he will not give and complete it like his mother. Through the dialect that Hughes used in his poem‚ we can see that the mother was not a well educated woman by the way she talks "there ain’t" (13) and some grammar mistakes. She was living a poor area with "boards torn up"

by Chris Crutcher and I felt that this book really ties into the courage that jk Rowling talks about. In this book‚ the main characters Eric Calhoun and Sarah Byrnes embody the image of courage that JK Rowling mentioned above. They do things that most of us would say that we could do but put under the pressure would craft like tempered glass hitting concrete. I believe after pondering the topic and reading this book that courage and bravery for that matter are not some extraordinary adrenaline
