In my own sight,grandparents is a significiant part of our family,but especially grandmothers.Who can deny importance of grandmothers?Grandmothers have a large share of our raising.Sometimes we share our secrets with grandmothers,and they never lie to us about it.Sometimes they give us special treats.Sometimes grandmothers take care us more than our families.Also current paragraph which takes part in issues for today mentioned of this issue,but with scientific and mathematical expression.This expression overturned the sincerity of the main subject.I think this issue had to be based on sentimantel expression.Another point of disagreement with the author:author says'grandmothers are more important than families'.I think it is completely tale.How could they be better?In my estimation,this issue's underscoring doesn't bebong to present.In fact,anthropologists search the culture of societies.In other words, they search subconscious of the communities.Also the author mentioned about mortality rate and the effects of grandmothers about it.In my judgement,nowadays only health affects our mortality rate.All in all I give the passage the thumbs down
YanıtlaSilREADING JOURNAL - 6
YanıtlaSilIt should be appreciated that the subject of this text is a good choice. As the author mentioned, grandmothers have a considerable amount of importance and effect on our lifes. In my own conceit, everybody run to arms of grandmothers when he or she was reprimanded by parents. Grandmothers are our herbours to shelter because they are always more patient than our parents. That is why the mortality rates of children increase if their grandmothers don't live with them. There are two points which catch my eye. This text includes exciting statistics. One of them is that the maternal grandmothers have much more effects than the paternal ones. The other is that the death rates of girls aren't affected by living with their grandmothers or not. Putting these results of scientific studies strengthens the author's opinions. Also, it causes to be taken this topic to heart. I'm sorry to say that our generation generally don't live with grandmothers, but it doesn't mean that they are less important for us nowadays. They always get red-carpet treatment by us.
My grandmother is so important for me.I believe her existence makes my childhoood and my siblings' much more better.Frankly , I cannot imagine a life without her.I’m sure I got a lot of things from her , but not my life time.Actually, I find these text kinda ridiculous. I believe grands are so important for all of us to learn culture,manners,moral value etc., but how can a father be less important than a grandmother?I don’t understand who can find a result like this from a scientific research.Maybe for young and unexperienced mothers can cause a increasing at the death rate, and grandmothers who are knowledgable and experienced at baby care can be a factor on decreasing baby death rate, but it still doesn’t cover the absurdity of the text.This time,the author can’t keep me interested in this subject.

YanıtlaSilISSUE:The Importance of Grandmothers
In my opinion,grandmothers are important and special for everyone.In addition,I am agree with author about having a grandmother from the mother's side is better than paternal one.I don't know my paternal grandmother because she had died before I was born.I don't have any opportunity to recognize her.If I should explain my observation about grandmothers,so many grandchildren don't love their paternal grandmother.I don't know ,but guess,this problem arises from relationship between bride and mother in law :D When I was a child,we had been frequently visited my grandparent.My grandmother always wanted me to be comfortable.She died and I really miss her.I believe that you can't find anybody who loves you like grandmothers.Dirty end of stick is that you can understand scarcely when you losed this unique love...
I think this text is full of incorrect, unimportant, unnecessary information. It says a lot of things about grandparents. I have never seen such an exaggerated article. How could grandmothers reduce the mortality? It says biologists and anthropologists believe that. Well, I believe that the only grandmother who can reduce the mortality is the one who stands by her grandchildren with a shotgun in her side. Joking apart the motto “impossible is nothing” doesn’t work in this situation. According to text grandmothers not only reduce the mortality; their existence is much more important than existence of fathers. When I read that, I was quite shocked. From that moment I wasn’t paying any attention to text anymore. The only good thing about this text is it was the first moment I saw these words “maternal” and “paternal”. This is the only remarkable thing I learnt from text. Beyond this the text was very unconvincing.

YanıtlaSilISSUE:The Importance of Grandmothers
The author talked about the importance of grandmothers, and while I was reading, I felt really bad beacuse my all gradnparents died except for my paternal grandmother. I do not care her because I do not love her. The author said that many people have happy memories of their grandmothers.Their grandmothers loved them, paid attention to them, and gave them special treats.I did not have enough time to spent time with my grandmothers.I am so sad about it.My mom always says to me that your grandmother was a perfect women.Sometimes I think about it, if I had more time with my grandmother,I could become a different Elif.I could tell everything to her,she gave me some advice from her life experiences.When I read anthropoligsts' studies,I realized that I am right about this ideas.Anthropologists and pyschologists now believe that the role of grandmothersin a family is very important,and they think that having a grandmother sometimes is more important than having a father for a child.I totally agree with them.I think my maternal grandmother more helped me than my father.Those anthropologists and pyschologists made a different discovery in different countries that suprised them very much.The children were only helped by the presence of their maternal grandmother.When I read this chapter, I said that the author wrote this text for me :) There were ideas what I think in this chapter.Altough I have not got grandmother, I know importance of grandmothers, specially mine.May be it's reason that not ot have a grandmother.I do not know, but I miss so much my maternal grandmother. :(
Many people has fears about becoming a grandparent because they feel like they are closer to death day by day. But they are not aware of that they are getting wiser everyday.İt's important to take care of your grandchildren as baby of your baby and grandmothers do it best.According to text grandmother's are really important parts of our lifes. As oldest person of family they are well respected and loved by others. Not only because of age also they are really lovely and helpful to everyone in family.But I do not think grandmothers can be more valuable than fathers and text is not enough convinient for me. I would not author didn't think by his heart ,because some parts are far away from facts
YanıtlaSilI didn't know mygrandparents is really important or we have never analysed that away from the sentimentality.The author made me realized lots of things.I understood what the author was trying to tell us,because I spent too much time with my grandparents.I have learned to gardening,do housework ,and a lot of things I had not thought, with them and also I learned playing saxophone with grandparents.It is important,because my grandfather showed me the facilities of any teachers do not want to teach.He did these things without any expectations.Why do you do that to one of a year that you see?I think,grandparents something like that.
