From what I understand, Mother Culture, in the
novel, is the embodiment of the culture around us and all of our influences,
whether it is the media, our parents, friends, teachers, etc. In my own life,
Mother Culture is all around. Whether it’s my train ride to school or my
teachers talking, I intake each bit of information and retain that knowledge
for later. It’s also my aspect on life, everything I see, whether it is
significant or not, it might affect me later. Like for example, when I look at
an ad in a magazine, I might not immediately think that I’ll link this ad when
I think about something later, but unknowingly that might just happen. Mother culture is the music I listen to and the books I read and the homework I do. Mother
Culture is sort of like this large ambiguous figure that has no definite black
and white answer but rather is a large gray area that covers many different
diverse areas of culture and visual stimulation. Mother Culture is all around
us, and there really isn’t a way to escape it, but rather embrace and discover
more about ourselves.
