Parenting in Haydn Middletons The Lie of The Land :: Haydn Middleton The Lie of The Land

Parenting in Haydn Middletons The dissimulation of The attainThere are many disparate ways to read The Lie of The Land, by Haydn Middleton. The subjects that can be approached in LOL are many, as is the different ways in which these subjects can be approached. We will look at this novel from a maternal standpoint and look into the book and debate the different aspects of parenting that Middleton incorporated into this novel. There are two main parental figures in this novel, David Nenniuss wife, genus Melissa, and his m different, Mary. There were many themes that kept showing up with these two mothers. Middleton created two mother figures that landed in the same position, being a single parent, though through very different circumstances. Both mothers in addition had to move from a situation to nurture their barbarianren. Neither of the boys knew their father, and both fathers were of confutative morals, i father being a rapist while the other father was a murderer. The t hemes mentioned above all flow together into one after reading The Lie of The Land. It is difficult to separate them because of how well Middleton sewn this story together, even though it is a story within a story. Therefore, the first two points of the women being single mothers and then moving to protect their children must go together. It is fascinating that Middleton chose to make both of these women single mothers. He created conflicts that forced both women to move their children to a safe place. Mary of blood was almost forced into being a single parent because she chose to free to the intruder rather than fight him, but it was her choice to submit. Mary could brace fought him, but then there would have been no Nennius and therefore no story. Mary knew she had to move to protect her child as well as herself Being put into the time period of 20730 years ago, a child out of wedlock would have ostracized her and her son, so she did move out of necessity. Melissa made her cho ice to be a single mother by non seeing Nenniuss side of what happened in the restroom (p. 192-194). As a person, let alone a parent, I feel most mint could understand and even appreciate the reaction that Nennius had. I was applauding his reaction. Melissa was not so pleased, so chose to make herself a single parent for some(a) time.
