As the reader might notice next time they are watching a film that the “hero” of the movie is someone that they can relate to because they recognize the story as having some connection with their own lives.

It’s a story that connects and speaks to us all” (357).A type of myth Seger writes about is the healing myth. The healing myth is a story about a character that starts as “broken” and goes on a journey to become whole again.
Lord Chesterfield’s apprehensive warning shows the adoration he has for his young son, who has traveled far away from his home to receive a college education. By using anaphora and metaphor, he is informing his son that the world he is about to dive into will not always be temperate, but can easily get hot. Chesterfield, just like any other dad, truly has his son’s best interest at heart. The author’s diction demonstrates how he understands the trials and tribulations that his son will imminently be experiencing. He “know{s}” that “advice {is} generally” “unwelcome” and he “know{s}” that its not “followed”, however he “know{s}” that teenagers still “want it.” By using anaphora he is telling his son that he accepts the fact his advice will be rejected on the outside, but will be stored in a memory bank on the inside.
Some are earlier than others and some must be later. In the short story, "The Most Powerful Question a Parent Can Ask..." by 'Neil Millar' shows the most respectful approach of parents to their children because when they talk to their children, they make them understand in a calm voice and not be all tensed which will just confuse the child. Also they make their children understand by not forcing them to do chores, but telling them how responsibility will grow on you later in life, and eventually you will have to learn it at some point of life. They explain to their kids much more in a depth concept which makes their kids want to learn so they will be well prepared for the future. "Parents are guides and leaders to their children, not a nanny."
When fate and the Gods are on your side, your chance of overcoming all trials greatly increase. Odysseus very much desired to see his wife and son, but it was his fate to make it home to Ithaca, and with the help of a few gods, his fortune was upheld. “But then, when the happy gods bring on the long hard times, Bear them he must, against his will, and steel his heart. Our lives, our mood and mind as we pass across the earth, turn as the days turn . .

Recognition and help can cope with adversity; when things go wrong the child can be upset but this is not a tragedy but a successful trial by the child. With James I offer other alternatives and provide support to try again. Each day include both change and predictability. “Activities are means to a goal, not goals in themselves”. If a child is fearful or upset at a situation such as a best friend leaving for school (as in Katelyn’s case), death in the family (Chloe’s aunt July’s twin children’s loss), a new environment (Sofia’s
For example, when a child acts in a harmful manner, a good parent tells him that such behavior is unacceptable, suggest alternatives, explains this to him and avoids statements such as “You were bad”. Because children do not recognize their mistakes when being scolded, parents should explain nicely to help them have a better look at themselves.
