mothers stop being mothers


Women become mothers the minute a tiny human cell forms
inside. Mothers become lovers the minute they love their baby. Lovers
become killers the second they sign the form to have their child unwind.


Most people in the book I’m reading, unwind by Neal Shusterman
believe that it’s alright to have their child unwind, killed painlessly and
given their body parts to people who need it just because the law says it’s alright.
The law states from ages of 13 and 18 you can have your child unwind and really
your child won’t be dead because his body parts will still be working.


But I say that not even parents have that much control over
us. They can bus us around, they can scream at us but they can never choose to
have us killed or unwind. We are our owners when it comes to life and death.


And are we truly alive when our body parts are still working?
I believe that all people have a soul.  “It
is nor hand, nor foot, nor arm, nor face, nor any other part belonging to a
man,”


It is us. The true us inside the body, the only thing no one
can reach, no one can kill. The one that is alive forever. But dead in the
world when it is separated from the body.


I believe we are really a soul taking a body and using it
till it dies and rots, or when it is killed. And we cannot be alive without
that body.


What I don’t understand and don’t want to understand is why
mothers will have their child unwind. They have passed through 9 months of pregnancy,
13 or more years of care and still that’s not enough. If the kids such a problem,
like stealing or doing drugs mothers should reason with it. They could help the
child, because as grownups mothers know how it felt to be a teen. Mothers must
work hard and never give up. That’s why mothers are called mothers because they
care for us love us and will give up their own life for us.


They are the people who put us on track. Make sure we turn
out good adults. And most importantly love us. If mothers just unwind their kid
what will be he point of being called mothers.


I am thankful that my mother didn’t just have me to have me
unwind by age 13. I am thankful that she loves me and won’t ever choose to get
me killed. And I am thankful that she gives her own life for me.
So be thankful that your mother doesn’t want you unwind.

Romeo and juliet


Even though a lot people don’t focus on the setting
it’s still one of the most important in a book, even more important in a play
or movie. And it takes a lot of time to just find the right place. Because the
setting has to be many things at once. Somewhere there is a place just fit for
that story, like Verona is to Romeo and Juliet.


Somewhere there is a place that is both sexy and
hip. That fits with the play. That says “Oh yea, all of that could happen right
here,”


It will just look unrealistic and weird if the movie
was filmed in New York or anywhere in the United States since people are not openly
armed. In Mexico there are mostly poor people and few rich and violence occurred
all the time. It all goes with the story, making it realistic and attractive to
people.


I believe that the setting has a lot to say for the
story. It could be meaningful chosen closely and carefully. Sometimes it
defines the story. Like a romantic restaurant, anything could happen there, it
defines love. It gives us a hint that there’s going to be a romantic moment and
two lovers.  Or a made up fantasy world, without
it there are no made up creatures ect.


And the setting alone could make the story more
attractive to people. I found Verona quite interesting since ill never been
there. It was special because I have never seen those buildings or beach. And I
have never seen the big statue of Jesus.


And maybe the big statue of Jesus was a part of the
plan. Since in the movie the statue was shown a lot especially when dead
happened. Maybe this was one of the reasons they picked Verona, for its
beautiful statue that makes it more interesting to the people.


The statue of Jesus had a big part in the movie. It made
me feel like it was the end of everything. It defined the story, since some
characters (Romeo, priest, ect) believed in it. And some when they ones die
they go to heaven with Jesus. It also defined the wedding. Since it was marriage
with love. And when marring through church you are marring through Jesus.


It meant everything to the story. Since Jesus
approves love, he loves us and wants us to love everyone. He’s there when were
alive. He’s there when were dead. He’s even there when we commit sins. He must
have been there to watch Romeo and Juliet’s wedding and love. He must have been
there when they both took their lives away for each other.


The setting has a meaning in a book or movie. It has
a statue or object that defines the whole story. It either defines love, death,
hate, rivalry or simply friendship.
