• “She was wrenching the girls away from a warmly secure and familiar environment, disciplined but tingency, whose identity was clear, its methods proven through the generations, and whose members were generally sumerist world outside- a world that mocked the spiritual life and whose mass culture denigrated girls and women”, p12 in The children act by Ian McEwan. This is small part of Adams poem on p180 in The Children Act by Ian McEwan. • “I took my wooden cross and dragged it by the stream. I was young and foolish and troubled by a dream. That penitence was folly and burdens were for fools. But I’d been told on Sundays to life by the rules” 6.About me I love to read books it’s a pleasure for my mind, especially when I get a book in my hand and I can’t stop reading it, often its crime stories. Now days I can’t read so much because the school and the children take most of my time. Of course I reads for my kids and they thinks it’s funny to go the library. We have all sorts of books at home but I think they only collects dust right now. My family have always read but I started late, I probably hadn’t got the right books for

    Haggard explains that society had created rules for the benefit of the whole community, and that individuals must keep their passions within fixed limits so that, if they do anything that may produce “mischief of one sort or another”, they do not cause ruin to the transgressor, “especially … if she be a woman.” (176) This belief conveys the societal expectations women were forced to uphold in Victorian Britain despite the inequality and double standards that first wave feminists were battling against. It is also Haggard’s belief that women, especially younger ones, need to be protected from the ideas of Romance fiction by saying that a “young lady, wearied with the account of how the good girl who jilted the man who loved her when she was told to, married the noble lord, and lived in idleness and luxury for ever after” (177) would only need to turn to the evening paper to see that this idea of romance in novels was a false picture of life. Consequently, this is also why, according to Haggard, men hardly ever read novels, because they are “for the most part rubbish,” and represents life in a way that is desirable for “schoolgirls”.…

    In the second half of the poem, a new facet of the speaker's attitude is displayed. In line 17, she wants to improve the ugliness of her "child" by giving him new clothes; however, she is too poor to do so, having "nought save homespun cloth" with which to dress her child. In the final stanza, the speaker reveals poverty as her motive for allowing her book to be sent to a publisher (sending her "child" out into the world) in the first place. This makes her attitude seem to contradict her actions. She is impoverished, yet she has sent her "child" out into the world to earn a living for her.…

    For a true appreciation of the sanctity of life and for true spiritual maturation, an individual must accept and come to terms with the frail mortality of human life. Harwood's poetry uses truly harrowing language to convey how her own personal experiences and relationships have led her to an enlightened state of being, with continual use of religious metaphor and allusion to convey her enriched spirituality. One of her poems that shows this is, At Mornington, is a reflection of her life, from her early childhood experiences at the beach, to her present middle-aged self, by the graves of her parents. Another that examines this is Father and Child, which is in two separate sections, the first depicting her initial confrontation with death as a child and the second conveying her acceptance of mortality when she is forced to part ways with her dying father.…

    Shock, disbelief and terror were just enough for a country to be flipped upside down. The attacks on the United States of America on September 11, 2001 sent the country into a frenzy about the safety of civilians.

    In an early years setting, it is essential that a practitioner supports the children’s play, learning and development because this will then enable certain learning goals to be achieved in relation to the early year’s foundation stage framework for development. These learning goals that the practitioner will help to support the children develop will have an overall effect on how they are able to learn and behave later in life. Also, by the practitioner helping to support each child, any disabilities (physical or mental) will be noticed and supported much earlier on in the child’s life which will make things easier for them as they will have a stronger support system put in place.…

    The rights of children are being undermined by American civic laws. Children see a comfortable amount of protection from the government but several issues exist as a result of America still not ratifying The Convention on the Rights of the Child, meaning children are not being protected from abuse, malnutrition, and are not receiving basic health needs. one in four children in America go hungry everyday because of lack of food. This percentage of children is primarily of different ethnicity. A child must never go hungry no matter what ethnicity they are, America must protect their younger citizens (0-18 years of age) from going hungry. Abuse is something several children fear everyday with three million cases being reported, 10% being sexual…
