In the video Hothouse Babies, a mother began to teach her child at the age of three to learn multiplication, addition, subtraction, and other school related study habits. I would have to agree with the mother's parenting style because it will allow the child to be more prepared and ahead of the game when she actually has to learn these certain things. Additionally, she would benefit from this parenting style by establishing confidence, enthusiasm for life long learning, socialization, early academic success, and improves linguistic skills as well. All of these factors will benefit the child for becoming academically successful. Not only will it result in higher grade too, but improved attention spans and better…

The structure of Briar Rose is interweaved with three main stories: Gemma's fairytale, Becca's quest and Josef's experience of the holocaust. Two parallel stories are developed simultaneously as Becca realises that Gemma's version of her Briar Rose tale is actually a metaphor for Gemma's life. The placement and segments of the never-completed fairy story at intervals throughout the narrative adds suspense and mystery. Gemma's story is told to the readers most through her own unusual retelling of the original briar rose fairy tale. As in all good fairy tales, the older sisters, are at times unsympathetic to hearing this same favourite story repeated countess times. It is the youngest of the three sisters, Becca, who shows the required goodness and empathy. To her, the storytelling is not only the essence of her childhood, but also the nature of her grandmothers past of its mysterious and aristocratic origins. The placement of segments of the never-completed fairy tale at intervals through the narrative adds suspense and mystery to the novel. More importantly the fairy tale references deepen to the story of Gemma's holocaust sufferings. Yolen also uses intertextuality to structure her novel. The story tells a narrative in the present, but flashbacks are…

Plato believes that Knowledge is not educated, but something that is inherent in us at birth. To come to this conclusion Plato had to first gain an understanding of what truth and reality actually are.…
