542 Words2 Pages

The child I chose to write this assignment on it is 6 years old, which means grade 1. He lives with both of his parents and has a sister who is 15 years old and a brother who is 7 years and a half. He owns a labrador dog named Mambo. He loves to play soccer and hockey besides playing Wii with all his family and watching action movies. He attends to church about 5 times a year, usually during Christmas Eve, New years and in his family members birthday.

During the interview, the child became distracted quite often, though was yet able to answer all this questions. Although, he seemed confused during explaining some of them like “What’s God thinking now”, still he was likewise sure about a part of them, As he try to explain that in some way God see's the best on us. The Indicated job helped me realize, how kids his age think, plus he made it not that difficult to have the requirements needed to achieve this project. This Boy was pleased to do this interview, and he tried his best to answer all those questions.

The questions he was most able to comment with the greatest detail were “ What is God like” in addition to “What does God do” as in both of this questions he gave long answers, he seemed sure about them plus was saying them without a doubt. In the both questions his response was quite similar, He says God is here to protect everyone, to help the sick people and most important that he cares about everyone. I assume this only because the child comes from a catholic family where they have taught him God’s values he has faith in God.

At some point during the interview the child contradict himself, just as soon as asked, What happens when someone die, he looked confused and said several responses about it. The response I decide to write after all was when he said that good people will go to heaven with him. Guessing it is quite normal as he is pretty young to know or think about this, but the boy kept trying to justify the question While I know it was not required while I was doing a pause he grabbed the paper and asked why that questions were crossed. So I decided to ask him. I consider one of the features that will enrich this analysis will be for him to have given more detail in every question, but as we know he is only 6 years old, therefore, of course I was not expecting long, high structured phrases.
