Being affected by the bad things that happened to Tita, Getrudis also found a way to escape their real imposing mother.Mother and daughters are expected to have good relationships at home since they are of the equal gender. The changes that a daughter would undergo must be first known by her mother in order for her to be guided or so, like if the daughter will have to recite on her class the next morning, it is the duty of the mother to guide her with the things that will improve the speech or fam iliarity of her daughter. The relationship between the mother and the daughter I think will serve as a foundation of the girls interaction with other people with her entire life.Mothers are always pattern to become the light of the home. They are regarded to be in charged of the household chores like for dish washing, cooking, doing the slipstream and cleaning the house. As it was established by the society, the mother also gives her daughter the ideas of the things she may become later on her childhood.

And for those who are natural without their moms with their side might also have the factors why they became what they are since they do not have person who is expected to primarily guide them. Is the relationship of the m other and daughter really connected with the issue of powerfulness and gender?In this assignment, we are to examine the relationship of Getrudis and her mother in order to answer the nous above. Getrudis as we remember is the middle child of Mama Elena who was not so mentioned in the story since it all went for Tita and Rosaura who is the wife of Pedro. Getrudis, being the silent one with the happenings in Titas life, is also suppressed of her freedom.When she found somebody who will awaken her sexuality, she eloped with him and then after came back since the war is going to start again. We can say that there are a few interactions with the mother and the daughter here since the mother already imposed her power over her daughters, I think she has given them the factor that she must be respected or so, and that is dictating them that mothers have power more than what they have.In the set-up of the family, everybody countes for power, however, it was the social structure of the fam ily and the place where they are situated that influenced their aspired power. Since it was during the Mexican Revolution, which is a way bit far from our present situations, certain family traditions are still existent. And with their family, their mother forbade their search for power and it was with that act they forcefully found it by also expressing their sexualities.In the situation of Getrudis where she was with the man of her dreams, it was with escaping with Sargento Trevio that her gender came into action. Girls that convey their love with their sweet and enticing scents are like Getrudis who found a way of being her real self, a woman who was implanted with the desires that only a man can suffice. winning in consideration the situation of Getrudis and Mama Elena, I can say that a daughters relationship with her mother affects the way she faces her life. Since power and gender are move of being a human, it is expressed by the way the daughters are molded by their contact with their moms. Both the positive and negative parts of the relationship between a mom and a daughter give rise to the searching of individuality of someone. Therefore, in evaluating a persons power or gender, it is right to look first at his/her background where he/she might have gotten his/her personalities.Works CitedAmy Coffin.
