The government set up trademonopolies, giving certain companies the sole right to trade with certain parts of the world, like the EnglishEast India Company. 11 Then in the late 1700s, Adam Smith published a book called The Wealth ofNations, which advocated “laissez-faire,” meaning “to let alone” in French. 12 He said individualsshould be let alone to make their own economic decisions—what products to make, how to make them, andwhat to charge for them. 13 People would be motivated by the opportunity to try new ideas and makemore money. Society, as a result, would become wealthier.After Smith’s book was published, the idea of laissez-faire became more and more popular. 14 Thenew freedom to invent and invest helped spur the Industrial Revolution, creating, as Adam Smith hadpredicted, vast new wealth.But it also created the harsh conditions some employers maintained in the factories. These employerswere believers in laissez-faire. 15 They say it was none of the government’s business how much theirworkers were paid or how many hours a day they worked. For obvious reasons, the idea of laissez-faire wasmore popular among employers than among their workers.

That can be a slow process. It took the ninemembers of the-then European Community (now the 27-strong European Union) years to settle on the colorof the passport cover that its member states now share. In 1976, a year after a uniform passport was firstproposed, Britain shuddered at the suggested shade of delicate lilac. Diplomats then spent four yearsdismissing maroon and then purple before reaching a wine-colored consensus in 1981.America’s first passport cover, in 1918, was beige, going green three years later. It changed to variousshades of red in 1926 and back to green in 1941. Only on the bicentenary in 1976 did it turn blue, matchingthe shade in the American flag.The common color was supposed to make European passports instantly recognizable. But since colorscannot be patented, nothing stops others with the same idea. Some countries that hoped to join the EUquickly adopted the right color of passport as a branding exercise. In South America the Andean Community,which once had EU-like aspirations, also favors wine-colored passports. Mercosur and Caricom, two otherregional groupings, favor an American-style dark blue.Countries commonly pick colors that reflect their culture or religion, says Claire Burrows of De La Rue,a British company that has been making passports since 1915. Islamic countries often have green passportcovers (though Germany’s passport used to be that color, as are those of members of the EconomicCommunity of West African States). According to Bill Waldron of Holliston, a Tennessee-based firm thatprints documents for 65 of the world’s 249 passport-issuing entities, darker colors are popular because theyshow dirt less, heighten the contrast with the crest and look more official—much as police wear darkuniforms.Interpol—one of a handful of international organizations with passport-issuing powers—providesevidence for that theory: its new travel document is black. The UN’s passport, like the helmets of itspeacekeeping force, is a pacific blue.Fun-colored passports exist too. But they can sometimes seem a punishment: Sweden and theNetherlands issue emergency travel documents for nationals who have lost their passports. They are pink.

In their writing, even though mothers and daughters dohave ambivalence toward each other, they are often capable of resolving this problem and finally recognizingtheir bond as mothers and daughters. Yet, when it comes to writing about mother-son relationships, itbecomes a completely different story. Most women writers stress the alienation between mothers and sonsowing to the fact that they are of different gender. Therefore, when women writers write about theirexperiences of raising sons, they usually find themselves crossing over into a different territory. Feelings ofapprehension and distress arise when mothers discover to their astonishment that their sons have become atotal stranger to them especially when the sons have stepped into adulthood. In addition, since mothers areconstrained by the society at large to avoid being too close to their sons in fear that they might smother theirsons, contemporary women writers have depicted mostly the separation between them but have also unveiledhow mothers come to terms with this separation from their sons.Take the two contemporary novels, Margaret Forster’s Mothers’ Boys and Rosellen Brown’s Before andAfter, as examples. With a common theme on mother-son relationships, both novels portray a similarincident of a son who is suspected of committing a murder and how this unexpected event has profoundlyharmed the mother-son relationships. Coincidently, both novels have an identical scene with a mother-sonencounter in a juvenile prison. In this confrontation between mothers and sons, mothers have to theirbewilderment come to realize that their sons have become unknown to them. And as these mother-sonnarratives continue to develop, the mothers and sons in these novels finally separate from each other. Theonly difference between these novels is their contrast in treating the mother-son relationship. Forster presentsthe mother as the one who takes up her traditional role by accepting passively this separation from son andwaiting patiently until the son returns one day whereas Brown describes a mother who exercises her agencyand power to deal with her son’s act of crime. Later, she not only fulfills her social responsibility as a motherbut also decides her way of handling the mother-son separation. Despite that the two texts illustrate twoconflicting ways of reading and writing mother-son relationships, they also inform us that there exists apowerful reading and writing against the grain.

(B)Because mothers feel obligated to attach themselves to their sons. (C)Because sons desire to strike a link with their mothers. (D)Because sons demonstrate resentment against their mothers.

How does Brown portray a mother who seems to be more compelling than that of Forster? (A)She makes a mother more dominant by monitoring everything her son does. (B)She allows a mother to work out the mother-son relationship on her own terms. (C)She enables a mother to embrace her selfhood by acting as a professional woman. (D)She creates a mother who knows how to rely on her knowledge to mold her son.
