They have read many books. They look at me with bright eyes and arrogant wonder. They are trying to save their lives”(3) Books make those kids realize that they can save their lives by themselves rather than accepting the impression Indian kids are stupid. The words “bright” and “arrogant” shows that the kids have a different mind after gaining from books. Reading books change their mind and maybe as well as their lives.
Running Head: CHILDREN'S LITERATURE IN A PLURALISTIC SOCIETY Children's Literature in a Pluralistic Society University of Phoenix Children's Literature in a Pluralistic Society One benefit to reading and listening to books is they can stretch the attention spans of children. Children’s literature has not always been so extensive and colorful as it is today. At the beginning children’s books read like instruction manuals rather than escapism or a fun educational tool. Even though Children's literature can misconstrue a Childs point of view, Children’s literature is needed to ensure a future because each milestone of children’s literature develops social functions within a pluralistic society. There are five specific key milestones/events/developments of children’s literature that includes social functions within the trends.
Francine Prose states, "Traditionally, the love of reading has been born and nurtured in high school English class." I disagree with this statement only because of my own personal experience. My love of reading was stimulated by my own passionate mother who instilled in me from a very early age that reading books frequently is important for any educated individual. I was very startled to find that other children weren't as lucky as me, relying primarily on their school education to teach them how to read and to love reading. By the time that we were in middle school, the majority of my friends felt that reading was a chore and turned their noses up at any books I'd suggested to them.
The teachers unknowing pass the ideas that they learned as a child onto their students, who also do not realize that it is being done to them. <br> Peggy Orenstein very effectively tackles the question "are boys and girls treated differently in school?" (Italicized paragraphs 7). She concluded from her field studies in junior high schools that the teacher sometimes treats boys and girls differently in the classroom. She also admits that boys and girls do have many differences, which cause them to behave differently.
So many girls have this fantasy of being Cinderella and having a “fairy tale” life, but what version of Cinderella and what types of fairy tales are these girls looking up to for their idea of an ideal life? In Marcia Lieberman’s essay “Some Day My Prince Will Come,” she opposes the views of another scholar, Alison Laurie, who believes that fairy tales are something that radical feminists would approve of because the stories, “suggest a society in which women are as competent and active as men, at every age and in every class.” Lieberman argues that it is popular fairy tales--the ones that we all know and the ones we read to our children--that actually acculturate the masses of young girls in society, therefore the lesser-known stories cannot
In an attempt to explore a fairly under researched subject, researchers Bigelow and La Gaipa looked at the differences in children’s understanding of friendship at various stages of development. They created a unique means of investigating the gradual changes in the understanding of friendship as children grow older. In doing so they helped to shed new light on the important role that friends play in children’s lives. In addition another researcher was also interested in this subject: William Corsaro. However, Corsaro was interested in how children talk to each other and believed that research on children’s friendships should focus on children’s individual understanding of the word ‘friend’.
I just want to start off by saying How to Talk so Kids Will Listen & Listen So Kids Will Talk, by Adele Faber and Elaine Mazlish is an amazing book. The title pretty much tells you what the book is about: How to effectively communicate with your child as a parent, or in my case as a future teacher. I began reading this book with high expectation, hoping I could pick up a few things on how to communicate with my students in future classrooms. In general, parents and adults think that authoritarian actions speak far louder than words because kids should behave the way their parents expect them to. However, I was surprised to discover that just a few twisting of the words and some changes in the language could do the trick, while saving/and or creating the parent-and-child relationship.
