- 1571: Harper Lee’s To Kill a Mockingbird
- ... readers can fail to be affected by the adventures of Scout and Jem. Unfortunately, the novel tells its story with too much clarity; midway through the novel, one forgets that the narrator is only a child. Scout sees the vents around her with far too much objectivity. As she analyzes the situations affecting her and her family, she seems too wise in the ways of the world, much like an adult in a child’s mind rather than an adult reminiscing about childhood. For example, Scout’s revelation at the end of the novel. while she was standing on the Radley porch, was clearly beyond a child’s capability. Most adults would be too traumatized by the experience in the forest even to be lucid, let alone come to the deep philosophical epiphany that she reached about Boo. Instead of a ...

It was not common for my grandmother and for women in the mid ... 1970, my parents got married in Ohio. My father was a salesman and my mother was a registered nurse. My mother and father agreed to only have three children.

Due to my mother's shift, they decided to get a babysitter for my brother that stayed ... him for two hours or until my father came home from work. Those were tough decisions, but this allowed my parents to come home whenever necessary they were able to spend more time with their child and it helped the family financially. About seven years later, my parents decided to move to the other side of Cincinnati with my brother and sister. Then a short while after they moved there, ...
- 1574: Cloning: Background
- ... unable to have children maybe would like to have a copy of one of them rather than accept the intrusion of genes from a donor. Homosexuals would like to have the opportunity to have a child of their own, and some single parents too. A few months ago, two researchers suggested in a letter to the journal Science that Wilmut's claim about Dolly could be false (Recer). Dr. Norton Zinder ... that he was going to produce 'half-a-dozen bouncing baby, happy, smiling clones' before the end of the decade (Cole 77). But the question is what exactly would be the difference between a "cloned" child one born the natural way? The cloned child would be a genetically identical twin of the original, and thus physically very similar--far more similar than a natural parent and child. Human personality, however, emerges from both the effects of the genes ...

Nora is treated like a child in this relationship, but as the play progresses she begins to realize how phony her marriage is. Torvald sees Nora's only role as being the subservient and loving wife. He refers to Nora as ... actions. The final confrontation between the couple involves more oppression by Torvald, but by this time Nora has realized the situation he wishes to maintain. Torvald calls her a "featherbrained woman" (1606) and "blind, incompetent child " (1609) even though she saved his life. Nora expected Torvald to be grateful to her. This does not happen. When Torvald says, “Now you have wrecked all my happiness- ruined my future…”(1606) and “I ... she did she became a person who could not stand to be oppressed by Torvald any longer. Nora says, “I’ve been your wife-doll here, just as at home I was Papa’s doll-child.”(1608) Ibsen uses the idea of a “doll” because a doll always maintains the same look, no matter what the situation. A doll must do whatever the controller has them do. Dolls are silent ...
- 1576: A Violent Illumination of Salvation
- ... faults. Without God, a "good man" doesn't exist and with God, he knows that he is a "sinner" (Masterpieces 498). Even though each story contains violence, a story is more horrific when an innocent child is the victim. Walters explains that a spirit is better off violently escaping surrounding evils by dying, than existing in a "living hell" without religious guidance (76). Norton in "The Lame shall Enter First" and ... form of faith to explain his mother's death. Rufus supplies answers and convinces Norton that he can locate his mother in Heaven and join her there if he goes while he is still a child. Unfortunately, he hangs himself, but according to Rufus, he is with his mother. Another example of the absence of faith is the tragic death of Bevel. The child is consistently exposed to a corrupt society from malicious playmates and his parents' circle of friends. While his parents nurse a hangover, the babysitter, Mrs. Connin introduces Bevel to religion. Bevel, totally oblivious to ...
- 1577: Life As I See It
- Life As I See It In English, we were to choose a child climbing on a tree from a picture. We had to decide which child we best identified with characteristically and explain what the picture of the tree represents. I have chosen the boy which is climbing the ladder to the top. Throughout this essay I hope to explain how I relate to the boy and in what ways. The tree represents life in where the children are at that present point in time. I see the child climbing the ladder to the top, but still having a good time. It seems to me he is making new friends along the way. He seems to be a happy person, doesn’t really ...
- 1578: Utilitarianism
- ... believe it to be a distinction that encompasses a much broader range of situations. The practice and the execution are closely linked but they are separate things. An analogy would be a parent raising a child. This would be the right thing to do but suppose at certain times if this child would be abused. Do these times when the child is abused cancel all of the love and learning given to the child by the parent? In my opinion, no. It is easy to say that slavery is bad with no exceptions. I, myself, ...
- 1579: Bilingual Education
- ... to feel alone because they can not perform at the same level as their peers, they feel there is something wrong with them, lower than everyone else. “’Empowering Minority Students’ does not argue that a child’s inability to speak English is what leads him to fail if he is put into an English classroom. Children fail…because they are made to feel ‘shame’ for belonging to a minority group, for ... their classrooms and schools and in the society at large’ Bilingual education…is an ‘empowerment pedagogy.’ It is an act of rebellion against white, Anglo Domination (Bernstein 2). Truly bilingual education would prevent any one child from feeling lower than the other since they would all be sharing the same experience of learning another language. In California for example, immigrants would be learning to speak English, while children who already speak ... all academic subjects such as math, science, and history exclusively in their native language. English is a separate subject. The problem with this method is that there is no objective way to measure whether a child has learned enough English to be placed in classes where academic instruction is entirely in English. As a result, some children have been kept in native language classes for six years” (Hayakawa 3). There ...
- 1580: Belove Analysis
- Beloved. Who or what is Beloved? Many people think that Beloved is the Devil or a savior. Others just take her at face value as Sethe's dead child come back to haunt her. I believe that all of these ideas come close to her identity, but they are still not completely right. This is not a story about good or evil, but rather ... heard the preacher say at the funeral...Dearly Beloved" (5). The baby is first christened at death, with a name by which the preacher refers to the spectators at the burial. Sethe thus named the child after herself, insofar as she, Sethe, was whom the preacher was addressing as "dearly beloved." In this way she brands her detached conscience with guilt. I call it her "detached conscience" because in order to ... not being able to deal with hearing what her mother had done. Only when her mother's conscience manifests itself as the ghost of the baby does Denver's hearing return. Denver, having as a child suckled her sister's blood with her mother's milk, attaches herself to this ghost, the manifestation of her mother's guilt. She makes friends with it, because due to her mother's heinous ...
