"The grasses sway their tall spears; the white butterflies flutter around and float on the warm wind of the late summer." (pg 9) As the quote seems to imply, it is showing the current mood and state of Paul which, in context is a peaceful and tranquil one. It also shows his innocence to the horrors of war. The butterflies also serve as a message of his softness towards his situation and the delicacy of the balance in life. There is another passage in the book when Paul describes the butterflies as being perched upon a skull and fly about the battlefield as if they do not have a care in the world.
The holly, jolly, red-clad elf is a common story often told to children during the holiday season. Though used with the thought of spreading an extra hint of joy to further help in the Christmas spirit, there are some points that even a child would find fault with. A man with an army of elves creates toys in the North Pole year-round, and then he delivers these toys all around the world in one night by riding in a sleigh drawn by eight flying reindeer and squeezing through chimneys. A cute story to tell around the Christmas tree, but a star-gazed child who spends his/her first few Christmases waiting for Santa (who kind of resembles Uncle Jim) will be immensely disappointed when they discover the true story. The child will eventually be told, or
In Uncommon Youth Ministry: Your Onramp to Launching an Extraordinary Youth Ministry, Jim Burns seeks to provide a resource for youth ministers who want their ministry to reach its maximum potential. Burns had originally written Youth Builder for this same purpose, but then updated it into Uncommon Youth Ministry to serve the newest generation of youth workers. Burns highlights how, recently, youth ministry is becoming more and more prominent in the lives of teenagers. Now, when kids go through crises, they consult their parents first, and then their youth workers, whereas previously youth workers would be far down the list. This is because of the development of youth ministries into real and relational programs rather than just a “glorified babysitter.” In defining the difference between past youth groups and current relational youth ministries, Burns illustrates how youth workers are finally meeting the relational needs that teens require than simply providing a program for them to attend.

“A journey from innocence and naivety to wholeness and enlightenment” accurately describes the development of almost anyone, to a great extent; effectively, it states the transition from young child to wise adult. However, the phrase is particularly relevant to The Kite Runner because Amir's journey to enlightenment is the novel's central theme. In fact, the phrase could almost serve as the novel's summary. Amir's naivety is perhaps best reflected in the chapter in which he is the youngest, the novel's second chapter. Indeed, the opening paragraph conjures the perfect picture of childlike innocence: Amir reminisces about sitting barefoot in poplar trees with Hassan, annoying his neighbors by reflecting light into their homes with a shard of mirror and eating mulberries.
Unit 7: Music Assignment Letta Carroll Kaplan University Professor Jordan HU300 – 11 The music I associate with childhood is something along the lines of Disney or nursery rhymes. Some movies that come to mind with great music for kids are Aladdin, The Little Mermaid, Lady and the Tramp, Beauty and the beast, and Shrek. There are so many songs out there that make me think of childhood and how I use to imagine I was a cartoon and lived happily ever after. Then you have the jingles you hear from kid’s shows like Sesame Street, Barney, or the Backyardigans. Music with a catchy melody and lyrics that have a meaning and also teach lessons, really stick to a child’s sponge like mind.
When tracking Emily, he discovers a fine strand of hair in a tree, literally finding the needle in the outback haystack. As he calmly searches the land he is comfortable in that the ‘white man can’t understand’. The musical score is soft and melodic to demonstrate his bond with the environment. The experience for the audience, as determined by Perkins’ choice of song lyric, is enhanced through music as it provides and effective and simple avenue to achieve greater tolerance. Music allows for the development of expression as it provides a common language, something only Albert truly appreciates.
The child responds to the influence of other people but is actively engaged in developing its own concept of its and others genders. Kohlberg argues that there are 3 stages through which children naturally progress as they get older and their cognitive abilities develop. Stages in the construction of gender are thought to be associated with wider stages in cognitive development. Between the ages of 2 and 3 occurs stage one, which Kohlberg named ‘gender labelling’ this is where a child recognises that he or she is a girl or boy. This is purely based on appearances; if the appearance was to change then the child would happily change the label too.
The use past, present and future forums accurately when talking about events that has happened or is to happen in the future. They develop their own narratives and explanations by connecting ideas or events’. As a child becomes a teenager they become more responsible for their own thoughts, words and actions. They will begin to think to their future adulthood in relation to occupations, relationships etc. The support and guidance given to children during this time will have a great bearing on the pace of their development.
Nature and nurture affects physical, intellectual, emotional and social development in all life stages but I am going to choose two to evaluate in particular, those being childhood and adolescence. The people to influence the development of a child are; teachers, their friends but mainly their parents or carers. Whereas the people who influence the development of a teenager are; mainly their friends, although their teachers, parents, the media. The aspects of puberty also influence a teenager’s development. Nature and Nurture in Childhood: Nurture and nature affects the way the child grows up.
