At the Begginging of the story the protagonist indroduces us to Biggie her we see a fraternal relationship between the two adoslesent boys, “some days I can see me and Biggie out there as old codgers, anchored to the friggin place forver”, this metaphor gives us a negative image, we see them as old and frail, never leaving Angelus and having the chance to explore all the world, stuck there forever.

The smell isn’t good but that’s nothing compared with the feel of all those serverd nostrils and lips and ears between your fingers”.

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. People don’t tend to remember programs or sermons that had an impact on their lives, but they will remember the people that invested in them and counseled them through the ups and downs of life. Because of this, Burns stresses the fact that modern-day youth workers need to spend the majority of their time in conversation with the kids rather than in organizing and executing programs for the kids to hang out with each other. In order to have a more lasting impact on teens, we need to be constantly nurturing their spiritual walk, showing them unconditional love, reaching out to them, and just spending time with them. In addition to outlining the foundation for a healthy relational youth ministry, Burns talks through the framework of youth ministry.
In “The Poncho Bearer”, the author, John Schwartz, uses narration to relate experiences that his son went through high school by being a unique individual. Schwartz reflects this story on how his own experience was through the years of high school. The author informs the reader about why the main character, Sam in the story acted and how his actions and his maturity define ourselves as unique human beings. Told by Schwartz; “As we all know, high school for most teenagers is a time of intense pressure to conform” (p 212). Both Kusz and Schwartz gave the reader a sense of how these main characters conform to our society and when is it right to deviate between the norm and unique.
The first person to write a dictionary of American English and permanently alter the spelling of American English, Noah Webster through his spelling book taught millions of American children to read for the first half-century of the republic and millions more to spell for the following half-century. Born a farmer's son in what is now West Hartford, Connecticut, Webster attended Yale College from 1774 to 1778, during the Revolutionary War. After graduating, he taught at Connecticut district schools before studying for the bar. The dismal conditions of these schools, combined with his patriotism and a search for self-identity, inspired him to compose three schoolbooks that, he believed, would unify the new nation through speaking and writing a common language. (Previously, almost all American schoolbooks had been reprints of imported British ones.)
CYPOP1.1 Development and Learning or Babies and Young Children We know that what children are born with and the experiences they have will shape their development. This means that whatever talent and skill a child is born with may not be realised unless the child has a chance to express this and is encouraged by adults. From the moment they are conceived a child’s development begins. The child’s features are decided genetically, although their height will also be affected by the child’s later environment and diet. Sometimes genetic information can be faulty, meaning the process at conception can sometimes be faulty.
