Sacrificed by Berton Braley poem and twist on sacrifice
The poem portrays a mother who sacrifices life and labor for her children yet is judged harshly. It critiques selfless labor that leaves a mother as a slave while suggesting the children grow selfish. A joke from a National Republican cartoon mocks generational roles with a grandmother wife and daughter in law dressed up in a political quip.
