In Glacier (2008), Courtney Hunt tells the story of Melissa Leo, the mother of two white children with poor pity. He was by chance with a friend Misty Upham. The Mohawk Indian mother cooperated to smuggle illegal immigrants from Canada across the border - a frozen river (St. Lawrence River). The author of the article "New York Times" said that Hunter's movie "caused a complete storm of today's dilemma: illegal entry, ethnic tensions, sluggish real estate, high crude oil prices and extreme poverty" (Hoden) .
But this terrible novel is gentle and some people will say a promising ending, because the character S finally begins to rebuild her mankind by accepting obstetrics. Under her immolation of rapists, S hated babies growing up in her "like a tumor", which is initially a "parasite" caused by countless barbarous "fathers" (2, 178). But after the prisoner exchange exchanged her from the rape scene "women's room" to the refugee camp in Zagreb, others' charity gradually overcame her fear of raped children.

Are all women completely divided into maternity use, dedication, separation, special development, service to children, and using power of all natures? He worked hard rather than mares and worked hard for her life, not only her children but men; husband, brother, father, male relatives, mother and sister; for the church, society For the sake of charity, education, and reform, what is allowed to do for the church a little.
As with all other natural processes, childbirth should be measured by the results. Whether it is good or bad, because it serves its purpose. We must judge whether the maternity of a man meets the purpose of human beings. Its main purpose is to reproduce the race by copying the individual, and then to improve the race by improving the individual. The reproductive plant is also realized by long-standing devotional efforts to bury eggs. But we have other demands for species improvement. The function of maternity develops naturally as well as the function of nutrition, and each stage of development brings new responsibilities to the mother. Female birds raise children, cattle suck them, female cats have to kill them, and in various services given by mothers its value should be measured by influence on young people.
