In this essay, “Kiddy Thinks,” Alison Gopnik explains the importance of the cognitive development of children in the first few years of their life. She also attempts to break the traditional view that children, in their early stages, think quite differently than adults. Gopnik uses a logical standard of evaluation to provide information on the different stages children go through when developing important cognitive skills. She supports her information with a variety of experiments as a researcher, and personal experiences as a parent. Unfortunately, she concludes her essay with political and social issues, which weakens her argument as it drifts away from her purpose. Though it did turn into a political paper, Gopnik is able to use examples that have logical reasoning and evidence, therefore allowing her to create an effective argument.…

Kreider takes a moment to reflect on his own childhood in which he did nothing more than spend (or to those obsessed with being busy) waste his time doing silly unconstructive things. Things such as making animated films, getting together with friends, surfing the Word Book Encyclopedia - being a child. To Kreider, these things made up the best years of his life. These things moulded him into the person he would forever remain - they provided him with valuable skills.…

Marketing agencies try various ways to convince people to buy their products using different persuasion techniques. After first examining an advertisement, one could analyze how each detail in the ad was specifically designed to affect its audience in a way that convinces them that they need what is being advertised. One would also be able to notice the values and important aspects of a culture through its advertisements. For example, a NyQuil ad from the popular American magazine, Cosmopolitan, shows different ad techniques and American values.…
Anna Quindlen witnessed the hastening signs of summer and fondy reverted back to her boredom during those times away from the classroom. In her writing, "Doing Nothing is Something," she suggests these task-less periods of downtime may awaken creativity inside a youngster, that may have otherwise never surfaced.
