The Glass Castle The Glass Castle The Glass Castle is based on the erratic life story of Jeannette Walls and her family. While reading the book I was impressed at how the Walls children handled situations that they found themselves in, and as a parent I was amazed at some of the decisions which the Walls parents made. There are many theories that can be used to analyze this family and the experiences they encountered. This paper will cover the ecological, systems, strengths (extrinsic and intrinsic), and psychological perspectives, as well as look at child abuse/neglect, and the resilience of individuals in this family as it relates to social work ethics and values. The ecological perspective can be traced back to biological theories which explain how organisms adapt to their environments (Hutchison, 2013).
Infant and Toddler Mental Health Tamara L. H EDUC- 3203-1 Infant and Toddler Mental Health 1. In your own words, define and explain the term trauma. Then, based on pages 7–9 of Hope and Healing: A Caregiver's Guide to Helping Young Children Affected by Trauma, explain how risk factors and protective factors related to children, families, and communities can influence a child's reaction to traumatic events. Trauma is when an event plays out that is both shocking and stunning. Trauma can be sudden or over a long term period resulting in both mental and physical reactions to it.
When comparing the two sections that make up “Father and Child– by Gwen Harwood, we discover that they portray the changing perspectives and understandings of a young child maturing. The structure of the poem represents a passing of time and changing and maturing understanding of death but the common structure, rhyme pattern and characters also stress the commonality. The graphic imagery used in the poem and the use of aural metaphors, add to the overall appeal of the poem. “Barn Owl”, the first part of the poem; begins the journey of understanding for the young child, depicting a graphic lesson of life and death learned. The use of the metaphor “Master of life and death, a wisp haired judge.” illustrates the power the child holds in her hands, in the form of a gun.
Example Conclusion: Charlie, (Jeffrey, Jasper and/or Eliza) develop through the challenges they face. These challenges encourage them to think more critically about their world and the racial conflicts revealed in the town of Corrigan. By thinking more deeply about their lives and the world in which they live, the young characters in Silvey’s novel develop a deeper understanding of themselves. The death of Laura creates changes in the relationships, these relationships between characters support this deeper understanding and also assist the characters in navigating the challenges they face. (Have a look at the highlighted words, I have copied the introduction below so you can see how these highlighted words connect between the introduction and the conclusion).

Also, he points out that the parents were not allowed to get to close to the children, showing us that the children had no type of affection. The parents were not supposed to get close with the children because in most cases the children were going to die and they wanted the parents to be able to move right along. The author uses Aries’s Centuries of Childhood: A Social History of Family Life, a study of European attitudes toward childhood. By doing this enrichment assignment it enhanced my thought of how the Puritan children were treated. I never knew that the Puritan children did not have any childhood until I took this class.
The reader can hear a child’s reaction to the situations that plague her life. She describes numerous childhood experiences that are valuable to children of a young age such as when she says, “Or maybe some days you might need to sit on your mama’s lap because you’re scared...” these expressions help to display the speaker’s age in the story. To continue on, Rachael uses numerous similes to describe her crying like uncontrollable hiccups, drinking milk too fast, and little animal noises. Conversely, while Rachael diction often reflects her age her diction sometimes takes a turn to reflect her inner intellect. “…The sweater that smells like cottage cheese,” shows that while Rachael is still only a child her personality is one that posses age.
Hill’s use of the first person narrator is a key element of the novel. Susan Hill’s characters in this novel have limited development because the story is told by the main character, Arthur Kipps. His character is developed in an interesting way because as narrator he is looking back and describing events from the perspective of his younger self. This adds depth to his character and to the plot because as readers, we live through his nightmare with him and share his fears. This viewpoint is particularly effective in this chapter, as readers, we can relate to the terror and anxiety felt by Arthur.
Catherine would “forget” to feed him breakfast, and at dinner time he was to stand in the garage or the basement while the family ate. David began stealing food from kids at school just to survive. That didn’t last long, as the school started to catch on to the missing lunches, which led to phone calls from the principal home to Catherine. That led to less food at home for David, as well as many more beatings. David no longer existed in his family, and he was now referred to as “The Boy”.
The Puritan community in The Crucible was vulnerable in many ways and susceptible to irrational and panicky accusations of the Salem Witch Hunts because of their strict and constricting ways. The children in the community are treated very poorly and less than everyone else in the town. As the Salem Witch Hunts were essentially started by the children the fact that they were treated as lesser beings contributed to the communities demise. “He (Reverend Parris) regarded them as young adults, an until this strange crisis he, like the rest of Salem, never conceived that the children were anything but thankful for being permitted to walk straight, eyes slightly lowered, arms at their sides, and mouths shut until bidden to speak,” (Miller 3). Miller foreshadows the Witch Hunts to come.
