In the first third of the book the Johnson's find out that their daughter has died. So they are at the funeral home talking to Tom Fielding to figure out what they are going to do with their daughter. What they come to see is that funerals are a lot of moeny. And they are seeing that they don't have enough money to do what they have to for her but they feel that this by giving her the best funeral that is their last way to show her that they care about her.What also going on in this first thrid is what does down after the funeral and stuff. How you are still payign for the funeral and still dealing wit the fact that they have lost a child.
"Show me the manner in which a nation cares for its deead, and I will measure with mathematical exactness the tender mercies of its people, their respect for the laws of the land and their loyalty to high ideals. "
"young parents tend to want to pamper their children right up to the end- as a sigh of love, out of a sense of guilt- regardless of what they cab afford."
I find it interesting that I had my faimly whay they think it cost so much and they could not answer me. And even though they didn't really say why it is much I think that most people don't complain about the cost because of the fact that this is the last way to show this person that you care. Even though they don't know that I think people make them selves believe that so that they can move on in life and not feel guilty. But that part really mad me think and wonder the real answer to why it cost so much and why most people don't seem to care about how much it cost.

HW 46 - Initial Thoughts on the Care of the Dead
Caring about the dead is doing things that we wouyld do if they were still alive. To still make them food, bring them cards and flowers. Caring about the dead and remembering them for the person that they are and that the fact that they were people and that they are gone. I feel that care about the dead is not to just deal and move on but to deal until you die. And to make sure that things go on in the way that would have wanted it to.
I think that we are going to talk about how we are the only culture that doesn't do that. And that we are going to see what those cultures do and how we can learn how to do or why we don't do it. So think I think it is just going to be going deeper in dead.

I really like your paper. You talked about this in a way that made me understand it.You did a lot work and research. I feel as when reading the book they didn't talk about it as much as they could have. I also feel that you questioned a lot of things that other people would not have thought about.
Sarah
From you blog I started to think about. When people talk about birth it is just about home vs hospitals or dotcor vs midwife. But people don't think about people who don't have a choice, and I think that by doing work on this shows how you a thinking deeper.
As for you writing you talking about things that I would not have thought about. Like the fact that they handcuff the women while giving birth which is not giving them to chance to move around and help have the baby. I think that you did a really
good job.
Luz
I love how thought about how the love of a baby could you work harder in life to help take care of it. And as a 17 th year old to want to do that shows how you care about others. I think that would cool if you watch how he is taught and how you will teach you kids.

HW 42 - Pregnancy & birth culminating project
I thought I would start of by asking my family/ people that I know and ask them what they know about birth and what they went trough. But must of all I am going to see what they think about doctors and midwives. Afters asking them what they know about everything I am going to tell about eveything that I know of and see how their thought about everything. I decided to do this becuase I think that it is impornt for women to know about away to have their babies in a safe and comfortable way. So here are the questions that I ask them.
1.Did you have a doctor or a midwife?
2.What did you choose to go with this person?
3.How was your birth?
4.What do you know about midwives?
5.What do you know about doctors?
6.If you pregnant now would you want a doctor or a midwife and why?
7. Did you have a home birth or hospital?
Person 1:
1. Midwife
2. I wanted a midwife because it was somthing different for me.
3. Birth was excellent. I had no labor pains, gave birth the way that I wanted to.
4. I don't know that much about them
5. I don't know that much about them.
6. I would choose a midwife again because of how great it went the first time. But this time I would think about having it home.
7. Hospital
Person 2:
1. Doctor
2. I choose a doctor because I trusted her and I felt that she was going to listen to me and help me have the birth that I wanted to have.
3. My birth process was great. I had boy like I wanted and I had a naturally birth. No durgs and no c-section. And most of all they didn't rush me to have my baby.
4. I know that they are compassoniate, warm, and gentle.
5. I know that some are great it just depends on where you go and who you have as a doctor.
6. If I was pregnant now I would research and pick a midwife, because it would be something new and I heard that they are really great.
7. Hospital
Person 3:
1. I had a midwife. Her name was Sonia, I had her for both my pregancies.
2. I didn't choose her, my health plan appointed me to her.
3. Giving birth for me was scary both times, because even though they were both vaginal they were a little different, The first one I went to the hospital 3 times before they actually admitted me. My water didn't break so they stuck theis long plastic stick with a hook at the end of the tip to break it. Then they told me to do squats because he was not turned the arounfd fully. The second pregancy , my water broke. He came much easier.
4. Midwives are childhood assistance.
5. Doctors get paid a lot of money.
6. Honestly I really don't know the difference in a doctor and a midwife. I never gave it to much thought. But my midwife did eeverything fro me besides push the baby out.
7.Hospital
Person 4:
1. A doctor
2. North Central didn't have midwives
3. First birth had to have a c-section and alot of medication "she was losing oxygen", second birth was natural and painful>
4. Midwives are patience, have more knowledge on holistic treatmeant for birth
5. They are human being like us. They just want to school to be a doctor
6. I would want a midwife.
7.Hospital
Person 5:
1.Doctor
2.Because doctors know what they are doing.
3.I had 8 kids so I can't really rememeber but I just know that it was painful.
4. I don't know anything about midwives
5. Doctors are good at what they do and know how to fix things when it becomes dangerous.
6. A doctor because that is their job.
7. Hospital
After talking to them I came to see that most of them would go with doctors. And that they go with doctors because don't really know that much about midwives, nor do they know alot about doctors. When comes down to it how can you choose something different if you don't even know the problems with the way that you doing it. So I decided that with all the information that I got in class I would tell them and see how their thoughts changed. So in my opinion midwives are better so I tried to explain to them why they should have a midwife.
So after talking to the my friends/ faomily all but one said that they would go with a midwife. My sister did really know much about midwives but did have my niece with a midwife. She had heard a lot of good things about them and thought that since this was a her first way not try something that everyone does not. But I think that she really went with it is because of my mother. When told to my mom about this class she said that she always want a midwife but they were not alot around both times she was pregnant. But As my mom got older she became more spiritual, and she beileves that the body will take acre of itself. She even has tea that you can drink to help with the body, and as a matter of fact she had gave my sister one of these tea's that stopped my sister form having labor pains.
When talking to my grandma she still thinks that you should leave it up to a doctor. She feels that this is their job they went to school for it and that midwives are not on the same level as a doctor. Even after telling her that midwives have to go to school, that doctors rush your labor so that they can end up giving you a c-section she still says that people should have a baby with doctors. And that having you baby at home is not a smart idea.
Even though my cousin is already pregnant And i think it is to late to change over to a midwife I talked to her about to let her know that she does not have to have her baby the way that society thinks you should. That you can have you baby in a safe way for you and the baby. That you can be comfortable. So at the end of all this I do think that I could have told more people about birth but I feel that it ios better to talk to 5 people and really get them to listen them to 10 and have then only geth half of what I am saying.
1.Did you have a doctor or a midwife?
2.What did you choose to go with this person?
3.How was your birth?
