  • The Undercover Parent: Coben’s Spyware Logic

    645 Words  | 2 Pages

    To begin with, many parents look for a connection with the author when it comes to subjects dealing with children and privacy. Coben’s targeted audiences are parents of adolescent children. Coben says “Loving Parents are doing surveillance here, not faceless bureaucrats” to slowly unhook any minds that aren’t already on board with spyware. The mention of pedophiles, porn, and teenage drug use are emotional appeals that will reach out to parents. Coben does well with identifying his audience but fails to establish credibility. In some cases Coben was being unrealistic, take for example a “Straight A” teenage girl sleeping with her dealer and using drugs are going to get parents attention but the reaction of the father may make them falter in reasoning. Not many parents in their right minds would calmly go to their daughter and just talk, there would be more yelling and rebelling involved. People need the truth just writing it off and down playing a serious situation as an after school sitcom will cause people to los...

Both Walt and Amir were collided with life changing events that later shaped the individuals they are today. Nevertheless, throughout both stories, the protagonists are faced with opportunities to redeem themselves, often at the risk of hurting their loved ones more than they already have. “There is a reason for everything” and in Walt and Amirs case that saying is quite evident. Walt and Amir are two completely divergent characters with opposite personalities. However, this doesn’t interfere with the fact that both carry the weight of guilt and regret upon their shoulders. In spite of that, both characters atone to their faults by PUT POINTS HERE. Kite Runner and Gran Torino, both, break the ice with introducing the characters and efficiently showcasing their complications. As mentioned earlier, Amir is the protagonist of the novel.

Nevertheless, his adult view point when recollecting memories of the past, reminiscing on childhood events, isn’t as different. Running away is the one thing Amir tends to be best at.

Although curiosity is a primary motivation for younger children, it should be noted that curiosity can also be a reason why older teens set fires.

Although some children who set fires are unaware of the potentially tragic consequences of their actions and are simply curious, others are fully aware of the ramifications of their actions and p...

  • Laughing at Pain

    628 Words  | 2 Pages

    One of my favorite shows growing up was Tom and Jerry. Every time Tom got hit by a pan or crushed by bowling ball or burned on a stove I couldn’t help but laugh, never thinking about the violence behind Jerry’s actions. Shows like Tom and Jerry emphasize humor, one of America’s most valued virtues, but also expose children to aggression at a young age. This slapstick comedy has long been a part of children’s entertainment and society in general. Popular culture exposes children to humorous violence that desensitizes children and increases bullying and aggression.

  • Factors That Influence Identity Essay

    720 Words  | 2 Pages

    There is no doubt that parents can have an influence on children. It is very crucial for the parents to make the right choices as those choices will influence their children. The family environment, such as religion and politics, influences children into creating a certain type of identity. If a child is raised in a Catholic house, then the chances are that the person’s religious identity will be Catholic. The same type of concept applies to politics. As the person grows older, they may alternate their identity from what they were taught when they were young (Mahalihali). When a person chooses a different identity from that of his parents or family, another identity is created. An example of this phenomenon is described when a teenager chooses to be a homosexual which clashes with their family identity. Society might label this type of behavior as unruly, which will then have an effect on the social identity. Some people might try to avoid people with a bad social identity in order to keep their good identity intact (Deaux
