sit on the bench and pretend their leg hurts…"(qtd. In Tosched A32). This quote is a true statement because if a six-year-old child is playing peewee football with an eight-year-old, the eight-year old is a lot bigger that the six year old is and he could cause physical hurt to the six-year-olds tiny body. The psychological part of the story would be that the child would be so scared that he might get hurt which causes physical hurt as well as mental hurt and may scar the ! child for the rest of
As I woke up I heard my phone ringing over and over. Frightened I asked, “What time is it?” He replied, “Ten O’clock, uh oh.” We both looked at each other in fear. I reached for my phone as the screen lit up with another call from mom. I answered and she told me she knew where I was and I had an hour to get my butt home.

Whether it may be a screaming baby, a temper tantrum or a stubborn child, the way the parent chooses to react, is significant for the child’s development. Understandably, parents are only human and cannot be perfect all the time.

I gazed out the airport window as I waved my final adieu to my parents. They were off to the states to find a better job, while I was left off with the biggest responsibility of my life—to handle things around the house while they were away. As I watched the plane depart into the sky, tears began to roll down my cheeks, nerve signals began to flow through my brain letting me notice instantly the smell of peoples perfume, the whirring of the air conditioner, the chatter of the crowd as they waved

She was the most entertaining character to imitate when my friends and I were at slumber parties. We all perfected the rhythmic pattern of her speech. And then there was her appearance. Mary Beth’s gangly body towered over the other fourth graders, and her lemon-blonde hair rested on her shoulders in knotted clumps. Strands

He’s nothing but bad news and I’ll get him back one of these days for betraying my sister.” All of a sudden the music stopped, the whole room paused. “Who stole my mother’s pearls?” Richard shouted with anger. ... ... middle
very important case in history. It changed a big part of school district rules.
