Andrew Hall Mrs. Krause English 11 Honors August 28, 2014 Abigail Adams Rhetorical Strategies Abigail Adams writes to her son, John Adams, in order to guide him and offer advice as he enters an important part of his life, of which she feels obliged to be a part of. In her letter she provides many instances of sincere and helpful advice, yet does not do so without the use of rhetorical strategies to emphasize her point and persuade her boy to adhere to her strict plan for him. Her acts of persuasion are in no way malicious or ill-fated, as they simply exhibit a classic “mother knows best” attitude in spirit of love and care for her child. In her letter to her son, Abigail Adams uses parental glorification, an appeal to the importance of knowledge, and an appeal to pride in one’s country in order to advise her son toward acts of her will. Abigail is well aware of the heavy regard for herself that she has bred into John, and thus uses this pre-established respect to heighten her own position to inform him.

According to the Feldman’s e-book Discovering the Lifespan (e-text 2011), authoritative parent are firm, setting clear, consistent limits but they are loving and emotionally supportive; they also encourage their children to be independent (Feldman, e-text 2011, p.187). However, the environment places also play an important role in order to identify the child personalities and successfulness, I am surely could predict how Chloé adulthood will be like by watching her childhood. Her environment places might changed in future but her theme of personalities will still remain consistently. On the other hand, Chloé successfulness can be determined and evaluated my way of parenting was beneficial for her life or not.

In addition to creating a new female aesthetic and a place for women in the arts, her children were highly involved with the creative process which occurred. I believe this was a project between a mother and her children, and due to the process being placed into the limelight with its success, received raised eyebrows because of the confident nature of the project. I have looked at Mann’s photographs and I see them as a family album; yes the images are extreme, but they still hold a sense of tenderness. I believe the images are maternal, but the argument will never be concluded as with new people comes new
Second, the parents should develop a “growth mindset” for their females by praising them for effort, concentration, action, and strategies. Research shows that effective self-confidence possess a “growth mindset” not a “fixed mindset.” For instance, instead of praising female kids for their smarts or looks, affirm variables that are in their control, like hard work, or good strategy or honest words. This cultivates a confident attitude that is open to taking calculated risks. It also prevents them from quitting or being afraid to fail or
According to the authors, millennial students were influenced by a unique set of culture, such as hard work, supportive parents who desire the best for their future. Even with these positive qualities, millennial students also give difficulties to their teachers, counselors and the administrators at high school and college levels. An additional influence on the millennial students is parental involvement. Parents of this generation pay very close attention to their children’s academic progress and extracurricular activities.

Even though Collins was passionate about her career as an educator, she managed to sustain balance between her job and her family. Throughout the film entitled The Marva Collins Story, she demonstrates a strong sense of stability in both areas of her life. First of all, the simple fact that she was willing to open the doors of her home to construct the school made it so that her work and home were automatically combined. Collins brought her profession into her household, making it nearly impossible to completely ignore either of them. From the very beginning Collins’ family was very supportive of her decision to establish her institution.
Geddes’ essay was effective overall and managed to get the point across. There is a transition throughout the essay, from the start of her childhood to growing up into adulthood. The reader is able to understand the respect that she has for her family and community in the beginning and then the harsh reality of the intolerance for diversity as she goes to school. In the end she does realize that she is good enough to go to post secondary despite what people may have said earlier. Believing in yourself and remembering where you come from builds character and you should not let anyone tell you otherwise.
This is an important time period because they began to trust the people in their surroundings and build relationships upon that trust. The relationship between a child and a mother defines the rest of the child’s life because the raising of a child, is more common to be the female’s responsibility. The child and mother develop a mutual understanding that both are always connected to one another and this attachment will cause them to protect each other always. This relationship is nonexistent once Frankenstein realizes what he has done and attempts to escape from it by ignoring the issue. The juxtaposition between Frankenstein’s excitement towards his creation and his realization for what he has done, helps to develop Frankenstein’s persona.
I believe women are nurturing people so they feel the need to take responsibility for a child two people created. Approximately 84% of custodial parents are mothers, and16% of custodial parents are fathers (about, section 5). My observation of this culture didn’t really surprise me but I was enlightened to new information about this typical lifestyle. Women over years have become more independent and are often breaking the conservative values by being the one who is head of house hold, bringing home the majority income. This assignment allowed me to have more respect for the culture of single women and the life they live.
