George Elliot once said, “Childhood is only the beautiful and happy time in contemplation and retrospect; to the child it is full of deep sorrows, the meaning of which is unknown.” This quote attempts to say that childhood is the best time of a person’s life, yet the sorrows of children exist in the desires to grow up and access the capabilities and mysteries of adulthood. This quote can be proven true through self interpretations, as children desire to grow up to access the mysteries of adulthood and all the wonders that come along with it. However, when in adulthood, we desperately desire to return to our childhood as our stresses and expectations overwhelm us. We aspire to return to our innocence and get away from the corruption exposed to us on a daily basis. The Catcher in the Rye shows clear relations to the quote as the experiences of adulthood and the corruption that comes along with it brings about a strong desire in Holden to protect the innocence in children, as he cannot return to his own childhood to escape adulthood.
Matt’s relationship with Tam Lin and El Patrón shows how father figures can have a heavy influence on a child’s action, resulting in an overall change in their future behaviors. The two men taking up fatherly roles in the novel illustrate their similar traits to Matt through their actions. Both men appear to care for Matt deeply, treating Matt as if he matters and is not simply a clone to be used. Similarly, they also give him a sense of strength, continuing to shape Matt’s young mind. Their care gave Matt a form of stability, forming his character and keeping him from becoming someone like Tom, a young man who has received no love and positive attention.
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.
Slimsilver03 Tally’s Corner short report 11-16-2009 The primary determining factor in father child relationships according to Liebow is the amount of acceptance from the child to the father. It says that in his words “The man who lives with his wife and children are under legal and social constrains to provide for them, to be a husband to his wife and a father to his children. The chances are, however, that he is failing to provide for them, and failure in this primary function contaminates his performance as father in other respects as well. The more demonstrative and accepting he is of his children.” It is interesting that the fathers push step children away some what in the book. The men on Tally’s corner do not feel a connection with step children for the fact that they aren’t sharing each others blood.
Deadbeat Dad's (The Glass Menagerie) In General, more children can benefit from the special relationship of two parents who care for them and are actively involved in their lives.As we get into this paper I will be futherly explaining Deadbeat dads who refuse to take care of their children force families into a life of struggle, and how Mr. Wingfield from "The Glass Menagerie" , a play,by Tennesse Williams is a major example for this fact. According to the Universsity of Maryland Medical Center, "Children who have fathers in their lives learn better, have higher self-esteem and show fewer signs of depression than children without fathers".Deadbeat dads is basically a term referring to obligor fathers that have freely chosen not to be a financially supportive parent in their children's lives. The term"Deadbeat Dads" was used by the child support agency to refer to men who have fathered a child and willingly fail to pay child support ordered by a family law court or statutory agency such as the Child Support Agency. Delinquent child support is actually one of the most leading causes of poverty and financial problems in the United States and it's definite'y also a criminal offense under Federal Law.Time in prison is just one of many possible consequences of failing to support your child. I dont think that this is worth it.

I am young still so I have some time to think on it, but honestly I think being a parent might just be pretty fun to have a bundle of joy by your side to laugh together and cry together. Also being a parent it’s hard to say no to your child about anything but sometimes you’ll have to do it. Dealing with Fatherhood Why did the men say that they were ready for children? They said they were ready because the men and their partners had waited for a couple years before being prepared and ready to have a child. Waiting to have children was also a benefit for them because they had the time to have fun, live their lives, and enjoy their time as a couple.
