Vanessa Huxtable is the fourth child and third daughter of the Huxtable. She is 11 years old in the season one. Unlike her brother, she seems to be an excellent student and enjoying school. She usually tries to know what is going on in Huxtable’s house all the time. Vanessa Huxtable does adult behavior for her family. Firstly, Vanessa is very mature for her age. In episode “Pilot,” Vanessa takes care of her younger sister, Rudy. She always stays with Rudy as when they eat dinner, when they take a shower, and when they will sleep even when Rudy is afraid the “wolf man” in their closet; also, she suffers patiently when her brother, Theo, throws food. This episode shows she doesn’t act like younger age child. Secondly, Vanessa never gives up

    Along with taking on the mother role because her mom can’t handle it she is the father as well. Her father is gone to a military base. Instead of attempting suicide, she should have looked to the good in life. She had a Grandma that was there for her and didn’t want this for her granddaughter. “Stay with me, Vanessa.” (Hopkins page 35). Vanessa had a little brother who had to find her bleeding on a bathroom floor. So, why would she want to put her family through that? She should have looked at her grandma and brother and not given up on life. Should have thought about how much it would suck for Bryan to have to go through life being the boy whose sister killed herself. Vanessa should have had the ambition to live on after her mother was sent away and be a better mother, wife, and human being than her mother could have ever done. Instead of ending the pain the easiest and quickest way possible she could have seen a doctor, gotten a diagnosis and worked to better herself. She should have made the problems in her life a tiny little piece of it instead of her whole entire

    Oates drew the character of Connie very well - she possesses many of the qualities that teenaged children share. According to developmental psychologists, adolescents become highly critical of siblings, and peer relationships take precedence over familial ties during these years (Feldman, 455). These traits are apparent in Connie’s unflattering description of her older sister June, “…she was so plain and chunky…” (209) and the fact that Connie spends many nights out with friends, but refuses to attend an afternoon picnic with her family (211).

    Teen years are the most complicated and overwhelming years of a child's life. Every teen goes through different stages while they are in the transition in becoming into an adolescent. For the Virtual Teen program I had a teen daughter, she was very outgoing and social. She enjoyed trying new things and was very involved in school. She also did well academically, and was part of the gifted program at her school. She lives with both her biological parents and a younger sister. Her relationship with her sister was like any sister relationship, they had little arguments once in a while but where are able to easily resolve on their own. As she transitioned to her teen years, she went through many stages like puberty, school transition and experimentation on new things like alcohol. As she went through those stages, there was a lot of changes in her life like adjusting to her body as it changed though puberty and adjusting to a new enviroment while she transitioned to high school. Those changes became very familiar for me because as an adolescent I also went through those stages which made it easier for me to the choises that would help her to get through these difficult years.

  • Connie´s Coming of Age

    1245 Words  | 3 Pages

    Connie has the need to be viewed as older and as more mature than she really is, all the while still displaying childlike behavior. She shows this childlike behavior by “craning her neck to glance in mirrors [and] checking other people’s faces to make sure her own was all right” (Oates 323). This shows that Connie is very insecure and needs other people’s approval. Although on one side she is very childish, on the other side she has a strong desire to be treated like an adult. This longing for adulthood is part of her coming of age, and is demonstrated by her going out to “bright-lit, fly-infested restaurant[s]” and meeting boys, staying out with those boys for three hours at a time, and lying to her parents about where she has been and who she has been with (Oates 325, 326). “Everything about her ha[s] two sides to it, one for home and one for anywhere that was not home” (Oates 324). Even her physical movements represent her two-sided nature: “her walk that could be childlike and bobbing, or languid enough to make anyone think she was hearin...
