**__ Physical Pain, on Frieda’s paintings __**  Most of Frieda’s paintings make allusion to the physical pain she had, after the bus accident. For example, one of her painting “The Broken Column”1944 represents herself having a metal iron as her column which represented the lesions on her broken column. Also the on this painting Frieda has a white band around her body, including few nails on her face, arms, and chest. All of these elements make a reference about the pain she was passing through. Furthermore, tears appear on her face, which makes obviously that Frieda wasn’t happy. Frieda chooses to paint when she was experiencing the pain left from her accident. This was like an escape not only for her pain, but her struggles, as her turbulent marriage with Diego Rivera.

 __Men can raise children as well as women can __  Why shouldn’t father raise children? Courts use to give mothers the custody of the children when Parents get divorce.
