The Difference

I believe the mother in Little Cog Burt missed her children and with her having to watch all these other dark children she started to despise the children that she had to watch. The mom was in the story missed her children and she wanted them back. In this story she seemed to be made out as a brute or an evil person, however also she wanted was her children back in her lives, so she could be happy like the rest of the dark children as they were joyful and laughing. The families that reminded her once of her own was no more. She had sent her kids to a private school, so they would have a better education and life. Therefore, the dark children being as ready as they could be especially little cog Burt a small black boy she despised because of how he would get what he wanted.   

This mother was more of a strict warden and a master in a sense because she took care of these children not like her own but like how you would babysit for some arrogant kids. The story of Cotton Candy was more about an overprotective mother who would stay by her daughters’ side and would guide her to do the right things. She wasn’t trying to be the bad guy or have her daughter regret her. She only wanted to protect her from the dangers of manipulation and use of horrid things. The daughter in this story would wish she marry a man that would treat her like how they treated the other girls, but the mom knew that the other girls weren’t being treated with passion not love but lust was the greatest use for them. 

The mom always hovered over her daughter like a bearing angel on a shoulder advising her to do the right thing and looking out for her. The girl was at the age where she was lonely and wanted to be admired and loved by a man. After a while when the mother passed, and the daughter got older she realized the mom only wanted her to be happy and content with her life. I believe mother’s in these stories are similar in a sense they look after their kids and want them to be okay, but one mother is giving them up and missing them while the other gets to see her grow into an adult she always wanted.
