Not all the eggs make it — and the parents “can only watch as the ice claims their egg and the life within it” which Jacquet depicts in a miserable fashion. Then the mother penguins trek back to the water to get food, while the fathers, holding their soon-to-be-born chicks, huddle
Children are our neighbors whom we are called to love. Christians enrich our welcoming of children to a life of faith by holding together these diverse perspectives on whom they are. Because they are gifts of God, for example, we will respect their dignity and bring joy, laughter, and a sense of obligation into teaching and forming them in home and congregation. Because they—like all the baptized—are sinners as well as saints and in need of instruction, we will emphasize the vital role of families in instilling the habits and practices of faithful living, and we will develop substantial congregational programs of faith formation. We will introduce them to good examples, mentors, and stories of faith and service and help them discern their callings.
Milkman asks Guitar why the peacock won't just fly away, instead of running in circles and Guitar responds talking about its tail. Guitar describes to Milkman how the tail has too much "jewelry" on it and its all for show. With the heavy amounts of jewelry and vanity, the peacock is weighed down and unable to fly. Milkman becomes very curious of this aspect and observes the peacock closely, with its pure white color and large ornate tail. Throughout Milkmans life, he seems to be very intrigued by flight.

Even in death, there is similarity between the boy and the bird. The narrator states when Doodle dies, “Limply, he fell backward onto the earth.

Harlow wanted to investigate whether attachment was based on the ‘cupboard love’ theory of Freud and Watson or on Bowlby’s suggestion that attachment was an innate tendency in response to warmth and tactility. Harlow intended to use experimental, laboratory conditions to test this theory. Due to the ethical implications of Harlow’s proposed experiment, human participation was impossible so Harlow chose to observe Rhesus macaque monkeys instead. (Custance, 2010). During routine cleaning of the monkey’s cages, Harlow noticed that the baby monkeys seemed to become attached to the pads at the bottom of their cages and would become distressed when the pads where removed.

Like the water that transforms the dry, parched, unremarkable soil into a lush, vibrant, colourful landscape full of growth and life, Creative Arts spices up the bland curriculum (represented by the colourful half of the butterfly) and converts the process of learning into a fun, vibrant, thriving activity that reveals the uniqueness, creativity and imagination of individuals. It sprouts playfulness, originality, inventiveness, resourcefulness and resilience in students and sets them on a path of discovery and adventure about themselves. Arts promote insight and understanding about our subjective inner life and enable us to see things with different eyes (Langer as cited in Gibson & Ewing, 2011). Robinson (1999) in his report says that all people have creative abilities in varying degrees and creativity is possible in all areas of human activity, including the arts, sciences, at work, at play and in all other areas of daily life. According to him, the discovery of creative strengths by individuals can have an enormous impact on their self-esteem and overall achievement.
