Definition Essay -- Mother

Everyone has or has had a mother. But not everyone has the same kind of mother. There are various kinds of mothers in this world. Some mothers have good personality, some mothers have bad personality, some mothers are wealthy, some mothers don’t have much money, and some mothers are physically strong while others are physically weak. But there is on thing that they have in common, besides the fact that they are females, and that they have children: they lead their children’s lives. I am going to show some examples by using result, negation, and comparison.
Your life depends greatly on how your mother is like. If your mother has a job, along with your father, and is very busy, then you normally become more independent than the children who have mothers working as housewives. But since your parents are too busy to look after you, you may fall into the wrong way. For instance, you can sneak away school when your parents busy. On the other hand, if your mother stays at home, your mother cares for you more. She can cook you more meal, help with your school works more, and have more time talking with you more. So, there is less chance for you to fall in to the wrong way. But since you was in your mother’s care and protection, you might become more dependent than the children with working mothers. In contrary, if your mother is very well-educated, you usually receive a lot of information from your mother. If had a friend long time ago whose mother was a doctor, so he knew a lot about human bodies and how the organs work. But also, since his parents both worked, he sometimes did something bad when their parents were not aware of him. If your mother is a criminal, then you can learn some bad behaviors from your mother. Therefore, your mother is very important in your life, since your life, characteristics, and personality depends on your mother greatly.
Mothers are not servants. Of course, most mothers in this world love their children and do their best to make their children better than other people. They sometimes do things their children want them to do. For example, they buy things like clothes or CD games for their children. But that does not mean that they can treat their mother as servants. Since she created you, she has the right to interfere into your life, affect your life, and punish you. They can feel annoyed when their mother tries to see their personal things. I even think that my mother is very annoying sometimes when she tries to interfere into my life. But I do not express my feelings to my mother usually. I know that my mother does that because she is worried about me since I am her son. All children in this world should know that their mothers are not servants.
Mothers are like horses or camels with you in the middle of a prairie or a desert. In other words, you definitely need them to reach your goal. It does not mean that you can treat them like horses or camels (so, be careful!). If you are in the middle of a desert, and if you have a camel beside you, you may ride on the camel to get out of the desert more quickly. But if the camel is too stubborn to move, or if it tries to lead you its own way, the camel would be the burden to you to carry, so you may want to just leave the camel alone and walk to get out of the desert. Similar to your life, if your mother praises and appreciates you when you make your goal, then she is very significant to your life, and you might like her. My mother tries to know what my goal is, and tries to help me a lot. But after she realized that I do not have any goal for my life, she does not help me much now. On the other hand, if your mother tries to follow her own will and tries to force you to follow her wish, while you have your own personal goal, then there would be a lot of conflicts going on between you and your mother, and both of you would get a lot of stress from the conflicts. You might think that this type of mothers is not helpful at all to your life, just like the stubborn camel in the middle of the desert. But they are not always bad, because she may be trying to lead you to the better way. For instance, if a person is talented at science and not very good at playing sports, but if the person wants to be an athlete while his or her mother wants him or her to be a scientist, then the mother may be making the right choice. So if your mother is alive, you should listen to your mother’s advices more carefully, not just ignoring her, even if you want to.
In more simple words, mothers are very important in our life. They are very important not only because they give food and clothes, and buy the children what they want. They affect their children both good ways and bad ways whether the mothers are alive or dead. They affect their children for what they do for their children. They even affect their children’s lives for their existence. How were you treating your mother? Were you obedient to her, or ignoring her? If you are not obedient to her, then you should better be, because she is the leader that leads you through the way of destiny or doom.
