Mother-redefine respect three times

When treating Christy, the mother never had any prejudice: she asked the children to say goodbye to Christy before leaving home for school; she dressed Christy as indistinguishable from other children; she still feeds him personally when there are servants. , Teach him arithmetic problems. At the same time, she is also a strong woman: even though she was pregnant, she insisted on holding Christy upstairs, who was impaired; after the death of her father who was the sole source of family income, she did not even cry, but went to the bar to pay for the last cup of the father. Beer money for paying bills. When the young Christy struggled to write the capitalized word "MOTHER" with chalk on the ground with the only movable left foot, it was when he was accepted by all members of the Brown family. Father Mr. Brown raised his son high above his head and shouted excitedly: "He is Brown! He is Brown!" Since then, Christy is no longer considered handicapped and idiotic.

This is the first time a mother has defined the word "respect"-Christy deserves to be respected by family members.

In Christy’s youth, due to his father’s accidental dismissal, his family was suddenly embarrassed. In order to store enough coal for the winter, Christy and his brothers designed traps for passing coal trucks and stole enough coal. For the ecstatic children, The mother replied with refusal.

She says: You know it's a sin to steal, You know God is looking down you just now, the coal is not coming in this house.

This is the second time a mother defines "respect"-you have to respect yourself.

The third time the mother defined the symbol of "respect" was the final exhibition and charity party-Christy's talent and talent in painting have won him the recognition and respect of the society.

I don’t remember the impressive, intense words and obvious facial expressions of my mother; I also don’t remember my mother’s name, because from the beginning to the end, the mother’s name only flashed in one line of the movie: Mothers are more often called Mom by children, Mis. Brown by friends, and the woman by fathers. This film did not deliberately portray the image of a mother, but every detail exudes the brilliance of an ordinary and great mother and woman.
