literature, Mother, Grace Paley
(written by Tran Thi Kim Chau - DH02G-AV28) “Mother” is a short but profound story. It is told from the flashbacks of a daughter. Of several details, the image which the mother stands in various doorways is the remarkable one.

literature, Mother, Grace Paley
(written by Dang Xuan Thai Ngan DH02G-AV28) If someone asks me what happiness is, I will tell him that happiness is appreciating and valuable everything we have. We should never wait until these precious things vanish from our life and then begin to realize their priceless existence and shed our pitiful tears over our past of ignorance. In this story, this precious thing is the dead mother and the story again reminds us of the obligation to respect, obey and care more for our mother feelings when she is alive. Read more...
