“She is a part of a past that cannot be recovered or changed by anything I can do now. My father always told me that it was my birth that robbed her of her sanity. So as a child I had to carry the weight of my mother's madness as something that was my own doing.” (Davies 148) Paul had believed his whole life that Mary's insanity was caused by his birth, and once the truth came out, Paul was no longer guilty. The lift of guilt allowed him to feel again, something he was not able to do for a very long time. After the truth is learned about Mary

Antwone Fisher has been a victim of physical and emotional abuse for most of his childhood and for that has had difficulty throughout his life coping with situations appropriately, often resulting in him retaliating violently. Many factors such as education and traumatic experiences have also contributed to the man he has become in present day. Social determinism is a viewpoint in which influences and one’s past experiences predetermine your behaviour in the future. This belief is evident and Antoine Fisher's life as his current actions reflect the attitude of those whom have negatively impacted him in his past. In the movie Antwone Fisher, it is learned that Antwone was abandoned by his teenage mother, at the time, and that his father died before he was born.
Ruth and Idgie and Ruth were watching from the bridge. Idgie was Buddy’s younger sister and they were very close. Idgie started screaming. Idgie did not handle the death well, she was close to her brother and it was a sudden death. “A number of studies suggest that survivors of those who die sudden deaths, especially young survivors, have a more difficult time than people with advance warning.” (P60 Worden) It was a very traumatic death as well; she had to watch and was not able to help him.
At first, Holden sounds like a typical, misguided teenager, rebellious towards his parents, angry with his teachers, and flunking out of school. However, as his story progresses, it becomes clear that Holden is indeed motivated, just not academically. He has a purpose: to protect the young and innocent minds of young children from the "horrors" of adult society. He hopes to freeze the children in time, as wax figures are frozen in a museum. After interacting with Phoebe, his younger sister, Holden realizes that this goal is quite unachievable.
Howlin (1997) also suggested that young children with autism who receive the recommended early intervention have a much greater chance, later in life, of living independently, securing employment and developing meaningful and lasting friendships and relationships with long-term research showing benefits for children as they grow and develop. The result of Rogers’ research (Rogers, 1996) found that ASD children were benefited in various comprehensive treatment programmes. The findings showed that all the programmes provided the following benefits for young children with
It encourages us to take risks, think flexibly, be innovative, play with ideas and respond imaginatively. Craft’s (2002) distinction between ‘big c’ and ‘little c’ creativity are helpful with the setting when working with the children. ‘Big c creativity’ involves discovery and a break with past understanding. ‘Little c creativity’ enables individuals to find routes and paths to voyage. It is a process of development and describes the inventiveness of ordinary people rather than extraordinary contributors.
As a result of Holden’s resistance to grow up and embrace adulthood, he instantly alienates himself from the world and those around him leaving him lonely and vulnerable. In the aftermath of enduring several negative encounters, Holden reaches emotional collapse. He tells the story as a monologue, from a mental facility where he has been recovering from the stress of the experiences he reflects upon. The character of Holden Caulfield is introduced to us as an adolescent who is immature and as a result, ostracised from his peers. The first time that we see Holden show his inability to accept responsibly for his actions is when he leaves his team’s fencing equipment on the subway, and he says “It wasn’t all my fault.” As the captain of the team, Holden should have been taking care of the equipment and using his authority to make sure everything went smoothly.
There is a common theme between this poem and this book: the loneliness, depression, and neglect teenagers face leads them to feel like “outliers” of society. Holden is going through a tough time after the loss of his brother. Life hasn’t been easy for Holden; he has had to deal with his bad grades, the stress of getting kicked out of schools, and the neglect by his parents. He has nobody to talk to, nobody to console him. In the poem, a fourteen year old faces many critical issues, although in comparison to Holden’s they seem trivial.
Secondly, the main character had three mothers that happened to be sisters. One of them became pregnant before marriage and in order to hide the identity of the one that was pregnant, the other two mimicked the symptoms of pregnancy so it was impossible to tell which one was the real mother.
