In “Those Winter Sundays” Robert Hayden conveys a parent’s love for their family. He does not understand why his father is so resilient to provide for his family‚ nor does he question it. The author speaks of his astonishment in lines 19-20 where he says‚ “What did I know‚ what did I know of love’s austere and lonely offices.” Another subject shown by the author is isolation because although his father works each and every day out of love‚ he leaves his child without a father.

You Agree with China’s One Child Policy? China’s government had always had the problem of finding a way to provide for its large population. After the death of Mao in the 1970s‚ China finally realized that if the economy or the standard of living were ever going to improve‚ they would need to reduce China’s massive population.

China that is infamously and famously known is The One Child Policy. The One Child Policy is a law in China that there can only be one child per family. The One Child Policy made a big impact on the lives of people in China and many people believed that it is very practical. I personally think that the One Child Policy is not practical and that it is a very bad thing. Although there are some pros to it‚ I think it is a bad law in China. The One Child Policy destroys the balance between the gender ratios
