question after reading "I stand here ironing"

Emily is so loveliness. She is so was a miracle to her mother. But why does her mother nurse her with all fierce rigidity of motherhood? Doesn't Emily's mother love Emily?

  1. The two words used to describe how the mother nursed Emily, with "fierce rigidity", are very powerful words. What connotations come to mind when we hear these words? Also, please make sure that you place quotation marks around words quotes from the story, and please provide the page number.
