**My Papas Waltz**
BY THEODORE ROETHKE
The whiskey on your breath 
Could make a small boy dizzy; 
But I hung on like death: 
Such waltzing was not easy.

We romped until the pans 
Slid from the kitchen shelf; 
My mothers countenance 
Could not unfrown itself.

The hand that held my wrist 
Was battered on one knuckle; 
At every step you missed
My right ear scraped a buckle.

You beat time on my head 
With a palm caked hard by dirt, 
Then waltzed me off to bed 
Still clinging to your shirt.

**Morning Song**
BY SYLVIA PLATH
Love set you going like a fat gold watch.
The midwife slapped your footsoles, and your bald cry 
Took its place among the elements.

Our voices echo, magnifying your arrival. New statue.
In a drafty museum, your nakedness
Shadows our safety. We stand round blankly as walls.

Im no more your mother
Than the cloud that distills a mirror to reflect its own slow
Effacement at the winds hand.

All night your moth-breath
Flickers among the flat pink roses. I wake to listen:
A far sea moves in my ear.

One cry, and I stumble from bed, cow-heavy and floral
In my Victorian nightgown.
Your mouth opens clean as a cats. The window square

Whitens and swallows its dull stars. And now you try
Your handful of notes;
The clear vowels rise like balloons.

Prior to beginning work on this discussion, listen to the WNYC Studios (2012) podcast Inheritance
https://www.wnycstudios.org/podcasts/radiolab/episodes/251876-inheritance

and read the Hurley (2013) Trait vs. Fate (attached)

the Weaver et al. (2004) Epigenetic Programming by Maternal Behavior,
(attached)

and the Webster (2013) blog post The Great Rat Mother Switcheroo.
https://www.wnycstudios.org/podcasts/radiolab/articles/261176-the-great-mother-switcheroo

The recommended sources for this week provide additional information on these topics that may be helpful.

In this weeks required sources, you learned that while genes have a lot to say about who we are, environmental factors, particularly parental behavior, can shape the behavior of offspring on a biochemical level.

Briefly describe the research that has been done with rat mothers to illustrate this phenomenon. Be specific about the maternal behaviors and correlated biochemical changes to their offspring. This section demonstrates that you understand what research has been conducted and what the results mean, so be sure to go beyond quoting and paraphrasing to explain and interpret the research as you understand it.

Explain the implications of the research on parental behavior and environmental factors as they relate to human personality development.

Based on your understanding of the research cited in the required sources, assess the emerging field of epigenetics, explaining how it is impacting the longstanding nature versus nurture paradigm and evaluating the possible promise and risks with respect to the human experiments.
