Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein is a remarkable science fiction. The theme of motherhood reflects the influence of parenting on children. Mothers are expected to take a more physical role rather than just take care of their children by nursing. The parenting style has a profound meaning on building children’s qualities and personalities. Victor’s parents give him unlimited love that allows him to do anything. He lacks instruction and awareness of responsibility to others. After his mother’s death,…

I interviewed Timothy Beatty who is the dad of my friend Jonathan. I chose him because he works in software engineering, but majored in marine biology while minoring in chemistry and computer science engineering. This intrigued me because in high school I took an oceanography class and fell in love with the study, I wanted to major in oceanography and minor in marine biology, but I figured engineering would be more economic.

However, many parents get really strict and handle their kids very sternly if they are unable to master a socially accepted behavior. These days, a video of a small girl being punished and beaten is going viral as it is really disturbing to see the little one being…
