The four types of skeletal bones provide the body with shape, support and protection of the vital organs. They also assist with movement.

Long bones support the weight of the body and make movement possible. These include bones in the lower limbs (the tibia, fibula, femur (longest bone in the body), metatarsals, and phalanges) and bones in the upper limbs (the humerus, radius, ulna, metacarpals, and phalanges)

Short bones are cube shaped and are located in the wrist (carpals) and ankle (tarsals) joints providing stability and some movement.

There is no single way to be a mother. Nor will any two parenting styles be exactly the same. The poems “wishes for sons” by Lucille Clifton, “Good Bones,” by Maggie Smith, and “Buen Esqueleto” by Natalie Scenters-Zapico make this fact clear. Clifton’s poem beseeches sons to understand women’s experiences as they relate to bodily functions. Smith’s poem depicts a mother protecting her children from the horrors of the world, and Scenters-Zapico’s speaker, in contrast, does not try to hide the world from her children but shows it to them plainly in order to protect them.

The most important parallel between the Greek myth of Jason and Medea and Jesmyn Ward’s novel, Salvage the Bones, is the parallel connection and comparison between Medea, Esch, and China relating to their pregnancies. The comparison between these three characters is integral to the novel because it allows us to analyze Esch in a new light, as she transforms from an abused and objectified girl into a potentially powerful woman who has more control in her life. As Skeetah argues that China’s pregnancy had only made her stronger, “He glances at [Esch], too” (96). Skeetah’s glance towards Esch as he describes the power China has gained from giving birth illustrates a connection between Esch and China, and in turn Medea, as all three characters
