It was the only show that had bright colors and loud music, used in ways that would really catch his attention, which it still does to this day. As Calvert (2008) observed these "attention getting production features are designed to attract children's interest in commercial content" (p.205). As soon as Landen hears the beginning theme song, he stops what he's doing and finds the television.

Seuss... Next This did not stop the incessant bragging they would hear from their friends about their children’s miraculous accomplishments.

My cousin Nicole was born in 1986 and the reaction of my grandfather is caught on home videos. The expression of love and high emotions were brought out of him at that time. The other cousin was born soon after and after long years of somewhat depression of his children moving out and his parents dying was suddenly erased. “He seemed a much happier and loving man that I always remembered he was.” says Aunt Jenny. “The years where his grandchildren were born was really in my sense, the prime of his life.” Home videos of me as a baby and Da’dooch together are proven facts that him and I bonded well even though I was a young

Sara Sandoval Professor Abend English 111 1 February 2015 Following Steven’s Footsteps My earliest memories of him were in our small home in Cortez, Colorado where we grew up. I never knew my brother would have such a great impact on my life. Steven Sandoval came from small beginnings, however, he would accomplish much in his youth, and potentially much more later on. From my birth in 1989 until now he has taught me of patience, love, and what hard work can get you in life.
