Behind every one of his adult actions, there is a childish one to follow suit, and it ... she puts the pillow over her head and refuses to listen to him. This is important because it emphasizes how Holden's adolescent age can no longer rely on the advice and understanding of a child, yet he cannot rely on adults advice, although he pretends to be one. The importance of childhood in Holden's life is seen again when he starts talking to a little girl at the park ... it seems that he almost wants to be caught. This is symbolic because he then comes to terms with his immaturity and the only thing that would pull him back into his comfortable and safe child world is his parents. When he blatantly smokes in the house and is not careful when he leaves, he is almost crying out for help and attention. Before Holden returned to his home, he ...
- 834: Gangs
- ... make kids do things that are strongly against their morals. One of the ways that kids morals are bent so that gang violence becomes more acceptable is the influence of television and movies. The average child spends more time at a TV than she/he spends in a classroom. Since nobody can completely turn off their minds, kids must be learning something while watching the TV. Very few hours of television ... shows on television today are extremely violent and are often shown this from a gang's perspective. A normal adult can see that this is showing how foully that gangs are living. However, to a child this portrays a violent gang existance as acceptable. 'The Ends Justifies the Means' mentality is also taught through many shows where the "goody guy" captures the "bad guy" through violence and is then being commended. A young child sees this a perfectly acceptable because he knows that the "bad guy" was wrong but has no idea of what acceptable apprehension techniques are. Gore in television also takes a big part in influencing ...

Historians refer to this era as the Age of Enlightenment, one of unparalleled scientific, philosophical, and political ferment ... the 12-year- old looks like a spinster of seventycomplete with budding double chin. Wolfgang, too, looks far older than his 7 years, and controls the action from his place at its center.

- 836: Great Expectations - Mrs. Joe
- ... belongs more to her than vice-versa. It is also ironic that Joe be the one that seems to be stuck in tough situation in his marraige. Often, in this time, women suffered from the abuse of their husbands and expected to keep the marriage together regardless. However, Joe is clearly the one being abused in this story and he also is the only one decent enough to care enough about the marraige to try and keep it together by enduring the abuse of Mrs. Joe. Fifth, through love, Joe shows the audience that truly he is not just a very timid man but a whole-hearted man. Truly, it takes a loving man to stay in love with such a woman as Mrs. Joe. No kissing ever took place between Joe and Mrs. Joe (much less child birth), and it becomes clear to the reader that the relationship between Joe and Mrs. Joe is a very "one-way" relationship. It would seem that Joe cares enough for Mrs. Joe, though Mrs. ...

The birth of Samuel was the first step in Gods plan to give Israel deliverance from their ... Hannah because of her barrenness. Hannah is in great distress and she prays. It was thought that children who are born to older women have a special purpose in life. Hannah s prayer for a child is heard, and Eli blesses her request for a child.

- 839: Sports And Culture Do Sports H
- ... in enriched and accelerated programs. Children are being started in competitive sports like swimming, basketball, golf and tennis at a very early age.

- ... Like Moses among the bullrushes Oedipus on the mountainside, or Snow White in her Disneyland forest, Charlie Chaplin's The Kid is a tale whose underlying archetype has enthralled audiences of all ages: the abandoned child found in the wilderness. But unlike his more privileged mythological predecessors, who at least had the good fortune to be deposited in lush, natural surroundings, Chaplin's cast-off child is discovered among, the ignoble detritus of modern society. A garbage-strewn alley in the seedy Red Light District in Los Angeles' Chinatown of the 1920s serves as the shooting location, re-creating a mean ... day, his tranquillity is shattered by earsplitting distress signals from the squalling infant who has been abandoned on the garbage heap, plaintively demanding to be heard by someone, anyone. Taking one glance at that miserable child, streetwise Charlie instinctively looks up as if to quiz both the refuse-throwing householders and the heavens above as to just exactly where this baby has come from. But before he can even begin ...
