The first time a child leaves home is an important milestone in every family. This principle applies to even families belonging to the nobility in the mid-eighteenth century. In Lord Chesterfield’s letter to his son, he voices many opinions about him that many parents would like to say to their children even today. Lord Chesterfield skillfully uses subliminal messages in diction, humble concessions, contradictory language, indirect threats, and demoralizing lectures to impose his values on his insubordinate son. It is clear to the reader that his son takes his father for granted and the letter is a last-ditch effort by Lord Chesterfield to help him.
Cowart, Shelby 7/19/12 AP English 11 Some Advice Dear Boy… It is always a huge breakthrough for any family when a child leaves home. This obvious proposition even applies to noble families during the eighteenth-century such as Lord Chesterfield’s family. In his own letter to his son, Lord Chesterfield delivers numerous opinions that many parents today would still agree with. In a tactful way, Lord Chesterfield sends subconscious messages through personification, diction, analogy, and rhetorical questions in order to impose his values on his incompliant son. It’s incredibly evident to the reader that Lord Chesterfield’s son takes advantage of him and this letter is probably Lord Chesterfield’s last effort to guide his son.
Unit 44 Task 3 prouduced by Adaugo Nwanemuogh P3 & P4 In this assignment I will be writing my reflective entries related to my own contributions to work in my placement. I will also present a portfolio of evidence in placement. I did my placement in an early year’s nursery, where I was assigned to work with the babies and sometimes the two year olds. It is such a heart- warming experience working with the babies because it gave me the opportunity to learn the ways they develop, giving it a good and careful observation. I made sure I record every new development which I have observed, using the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) it helps me set standards for the learning, development and care of children from birth.
For my research paper I chose to focus on Lil Wayne. I admire him because he is hard working and he has gone through a lot to achieve his American dream and he never gave up on it. Lil Wayne's American dream was to have a better life for himself and move his family out of the ghetto. He had been trying to do that since he was young and then he finally got discovered at the age of 13 by Birdman who was a well-known local producer. He took Lil Wayne to the top and even though he had to drop out of high school it was wroth it because he is now worth over 24 Million dollars.
Weren't '90s men supposed to be fully functioning members of a newly designed home team, a mutually supportive, multiskilled unit? I thought so. Many of my friends thought so, too. We've done our part to raise our sons as full-fledged ""new'' team members--competent, caring individuals who can do more around the house than crush cans for the recycling bin and put a new plastic liner in the garbage pail.
Over the years he eventually changed huge parts of his appearance to appeal to the ideals his father had in mind for his life. Michael’s father grew abusive to the point of perminently damaging michaels emtional stability. Growing as a kid star with all the emotional damage Michael’s father created left Michael with a void he needed to fill.

This is discovered when the patriarch, Julian Hayden, says to his son Wesley “Ever since the war…Ever since Frank came home in a uniform and you stayed home, you’ve been jealous” (118). This favoritism shows what little respect Julian holds for his younger son that stems from Franks dominance between the Hayden siblings. Wes is constantly put down because of his brother’s achievements; these situations can either make or break Wesley. In all families, there is a member who thrives on ‘power trips’, and in this specific situation, it was Julian, “He wanted, he needed, power…he was a dominating man who drew sustenance and strength from controlling others” (20). Julian acquires his power through putting others down, especially Wes; this causes Wesley to have a lot of animosity towards his father.
Rogers displays the father’s desire to see his son normal in the first few paragraphs. His father “…built a rack for stretching him so that, year by year, he could be as tall, as the other children.” (Rogers 3) In the next paragraph the author states that the dead boy sees six winters before he attends school. The loving and thoughtful gesture of the father
