FREE ESSAY ON FEAR

FEAR

Gabriela Mistral has illustrated a very hole some loving protective mother in ''Fear''. If
she could
exchange places with the father created by Joao Guimares Rosa, ''In The Third Bank of the
River'',
the family specially , the sons would have never been devastated. Mistral has created a
mother who
truly loves her daughter. She is afraid that society will influence her daughter's future
by making her a
royalty her concern is expressed when she said ''I do not want them to make my child in
to a
princess'' (23-24 Mistral)
The mother visualizes her daughters childhood with a simple life, but a very caring and
loving
environment. The role of the father in '' The Third Bank of the River'' would change the
meaning of
the story, this is because the father would been someone who would give all of his life
to his children.
In the story the son describes his father as '' a Dutiful, Orderly , Straightforward Man.
The
personality of the father with the mother from ''Fear '' would make the son very happy ,
because the
father would of been someone who would show a genuine love for his family. This is very
important
knowing that he would of made the mother very happy ,because the mother in the story
reflected no
happiness throughout the story. She was the one that ran the house hold , but the
impediment of her
life was her husband. Having a partner in life with a personality of protective, caring,
loving, and
grateful man would of made this family very close, and the mother would of felt very
happy knowing
that there was someone looking out for her. In the story this never happened. The father
left his
family without any remorse. Physically he was close to them, but spiritually he never
took part on
any of their life. 
In the poem ''Fear'' the mother doesn't want her daughter to grow up and leave her. In
the
story written by Rosa this doesn't happens to the son. Unfortunately the boy blamed
himself for his
father's actions. He thinks that his dad never loved him and he thinks that he left,
because he wasn't a
good son. I f the son had experienced the love and support from his dad throughout his
life , this
would of had a big impact in his future. Life would of mean something to him, instead he
blamed
himself for something that he was not responsable for. email me at a_coolguy56@yahoo.com
