My Grandson Drew

Watching any child develop a vocabulary is always fun, but Drew’s robust vocabulary continues to amaze me. Drew is only three years old, but he uses words that are mature. For example, last week Drew went to the grocery store with his mother. Shop Rite just took over another store, so there were crowds of people swarming the aisles. While Drew and his mother were there, a stout, frazzled woman banged into the cart and then just kept going. In response, Drew shook his little head and muttered, “Oblivious.” I was shocked that he had used such an adult word, and I was even more surprised that he used the word correctly. Again last night, Drew proved his adult vocabulary skills. He was watching Are You Being Served? on television with his family. This British comedy uses colloquialisms from England and also uses a dry sense of humor that plays on the meanings of words. When Mr. Rumbold, the supervisor said, “How am I going to get down?” and Mrs. Spooner answered, “Jump off the parapet and flap your ears,” Drew started laughing and exclaimed, “This is so funny. It really cracks me up!” He understood that a parapet meant the ledge by the window and flapping ears meant trying to fly like a bird. My grandson is like a little midget who loves arts and galleries. I’d take him with me in some arts galleries exhibition. He will take closely in that picture and will take picture of that art and when we get home he will prepare his materials and start painting in what he saw in the exhibition. And what I like most about him is reading books, but even though he is only three years old, he reads fiction and adventure books like Horry Potter and Lightning Thief. When he see a word he don’t know, he will ask question to the older person near him. My grandson is sociable child, he likes to ask questions, and when gets bored he’ll tell you stories about on what he read in the book. When he tell stories he makes facial reactions based on what he read.

    Conrad is a, soon to be, 5 year old boy who is very active and advanced intellectually. He would be categorized in Piaget’s preoperational stage, which is characteristic of an increase in representational activity (Berk, 2012). This is evident in how Conrad is currently playing. For example, one of his favorite things to do when he is at our house is to play “race cars” with Papa (my husband). He has a scooter that is kept at our house and the first thing he does is go to our garage to get his “race car”. He will then “set the stage” for us by making up a story of how he is a world…

    Another great way to implement how to provide a chance for children to explore at a developmentally appropriate level is through art. When doing art activities, it’s key to provide a variety of ways for the children to create and then to let them create. An example of this would be to have a variety of paint brushes and then letting the children to create what they would like to create. When providing books for the classroom, it’s also important to provide a variety of levels and interest for the children. Overall, with each of these examples it’s important to note how important it is to always keep the child in mind.…

    The Tragic Hero

    • 748 Words
    • 3 Pages

    The tragic hero is one who experiences an inner struggle because of some flaw within his character. That struggle results in the fall of the hero. Aristotle defines the tragic hero in his work titled Poetics, which expands upon the definition of a tragic hero. The short story “Medea,” written by Euripides, and the play “Hamlet,” written by Shakespeare, both present the reader with a tragic hero. “Medea” is the ideal story in which one can see the tragic hero, and this can be contrasted to “Hamlet” in order to see how Aristotle’s definition of a tragic hero in Poetics presented. According to Poetics, the tragic hero in “Medea” is Jason and the tragic hero in “Hamlet” is Hamlet. Aristotle’s Poetics explains the tragic hero by describing him/her with certain characteristics. The tragic hero can be seen as a form of pathos , so the better of the two stories would be the one which a larger audience can relate to.…

    My sweaty palms ran through-out the thin strands of my hair as I tried to comfort myself for just a single moment. I felt scared, almost terrified as the screams of my nightmare echoed in my ears and made my head throb. Almost never did I have such vivid dreams, and when I did, I never remembered them the next day. Nevertheless, I don't think that I'll ever be able to make amends with my darkest memories and reliving situations that scarred my childhood and eventually my life, can never be forgotten. All I can do is go back and ask what this version of myself could have done to avoid or even confront the situations and events.…

    When I was a young girl learning about life and love, I always thought that some man would sweep me off my feet and it was my fate to be with him and only him. My mother was not a big fan of love and fate. She didn’t have a very good history of guys and relationships. She would always tell us love was not a reality and we should find someone with a lot of money. My mother is a strong feminist woman and I tried as hard as possible not to be like that. I desperately wanted the fairytale love story and I would prove my mother wrong, I would show her that the guy I professed my love to I would stay with him forever. As I grew older I wanted boyfriends in middle school but I was always too outgoing and creatively different to them. Once I got into high school it was completely different, I suddenly became attractive for boys. I did not have a great history with boys and relationships.…

    I turn the key and hear the old engine turn over a few times, struggling to get going. Eventually it starts. The engine sounds rough when cold, but with a few quick revs, it starts to sound a little better. The “check” light flashes at me until I press the brake pedal to let the car test the brake lights, or press the “check” button on the roof near the sunroof adjustment switch, between the two visors. When I press the “check” button, seven small, red, LED lights brighten to show me that they are functioning properly. They are there to warn me of low oil, or low coolant, or to let me know if any brake lights, taillights, or headlights are not working. Clicking the sunroof button reclines the glass above my head. The sun beams into the interior and heats the leather.…

    In June of 2009 right after father’s day I found out that I was pregnant with my first and only child, which brought so much joy to my life. At first I was nervous about the news, but then the more I thought about it the more excited and happier I got. I finally realized that I was going to be a mother. I had scheduled my first ultrasound to see how my baby was growing and on that same day I found out that I was going to have a little boy on February 6, 2010. At that same ultrasound we discovered that my son’s left foot was clubbed. As a first time mom I went home and did as much research as possible on club foot. I was then referred to see a perinatal specialist whom did a number of ultrasounds and even performed an amniocentesis to test the chromosomes to ensure there weren’t any other complications. Even with the bad news of the clubfoot and having to go to double the amount of appointments along with more tests to be performed I was still just as happy. My son has changed my life in so many ways. Every morning I wake up and hear him calling for me and that is what keeps me motivated on a daily basis. The day he was born he weighed 4 pounds 14 ounces and was 19 inches long. I remember when I saw him for the first time and he was just a few hours old after the doctors had examined him to make sure he was going to be okay, due to finding a pocket of fluid around his heart when they did the last ultrasound right before I went into labor. In the past two and a half years we have had many doctor’s appointments between the normal check up’s, cardiology appointments to ensure the pocket of fluid has disappeared, and most importantly to see his pediatric orthopedic doctor to ensure that his foot his correcting properly. In January of 2011 he had his first surgery and the procedure that was performed was to cut his heal cord which helps with the flexibility of his foot and position it in the proper place. He had his first cast on when he was just a few…

    I take my first step and duck my head into the too small plane. My nerves start to electrify as the realization sinks in that I am going to be in a different country in less than two hours. The minutes seem to drag on and on as I listen to the guy next to you snoring and the kid behind me kicks the back of my chair. The pilots' rough voice comes on the intercom and says "Howdy folks, just wanna let you know that we are getting ready to land and we should be there in about ten short minutes.". Then I listen carefully, but don't understand anything the Mexican lady is saying. Ten minutes go by and I hear the screeching and squealing of the airplane's tires as they hit the Mexican runway. I feel as if I've spent decades waiting for this moment and I can't believe that its finally here.…

    I woke up on Wednesday morning in the middle of an extremely hot August. I noticed it was sunny, something unusual during a Floridian summer. As I rolled myself out of bed, I began to stretch. While I was doing that there was this sweet smell that I know I’ve smelled before. It was such a sensational smell just as if I can actually taste it. I followed the smell towards the kitchen where I found my mom making me my favorite breakfast, blueberry waffles topped with whipped cream, syrup with banana and strawberry slices. It was just a site to see. Right next to it was a big glass of chocolate milk; I couldn’t wait any longer to demolish the waffle fortress that was waiting for me. I grabbed my plate and took it to the table and began eating. As I demolished it, I felt as if I were in another galaxy, where everything was made out of waffles, pancakes, toast and there was a chocolate river; it was to die for.…
