Circle of Life

Conflict, betrayal, regret, and anxiety are all devastating aspects of love. Humanity can transform and adapt to positive terms of love as they grow with experience. A rose begins delicate, but it grows anticipating heavy rains, cold weather, and other harsh conditions. People are born with hope and belief that those around them will cradle and understand the fragile aspect of love, but not yet prepared to embrace coming obstacles that they must eventually overcome. Love and birth are two vital components to life itself.

During the early points of the novel Sissy is basically given an inexperienced and slightly obnoxious character, however as the story progresses I feel sympathy for her as she has faced many hardships in her past. I eventually uncover and gain an opinion that she can act mature and civilized when around those she cares for. Sissy is a healthy woman, while she’s had two husbands and become due for eight children (not at the same time). Eight of her children died at birth. After reading that sentence from the book I was almost completely sure that I read the text wrong. After a double look I was very disturbed and flustered, in addition I felt great sorrow for Sissy, but not quite understanding her pain and anxiety.

“Sure I like children. But they got to be my own and not some other bum’s” In a mothers view, the disgrace or but fury they’d feel towards their husband, after discovering how ignorant and defiant he is to the rest of civilization. Sissy’s John doesn’t understand love. Sissy finally decides to adopt a baby from a mother’s abusive father who is destructively starving this sixteen year old minor, while hoping the infant would die during child-birth. The father betrays his own daughter, while he completely sabotages his belief toward love.

At last Sissy’s husband is able to full heartedly confront the baby with embrace and passion. The angelic couple nurtures the delicate new born.

When birth and love are associated harmonically all negative dilemmas are broken, but new challenges approach. A child is eventually able to grasp independence and re-experience the circle of life.
