Many children under the age of 15 are immature and although age does not define maturity‚ the lack of life experiences can.

Maus is a beautiful story about Holocaust survivor Vladek Spiegelman telling his son Artie his life during the Holocaust. After Maus 1’s first release in 1980 and Maus 2’s release in 1991‚ the two books have gained a lot of fans and attention which makes me wonder why Maus has not been turned into an animated TV series. I think that Maus in animated episodes would help bring the books to life‚ it would be a really easy movie with promising results‚ and it can potentially help expand the Maus franchise

To spank or not to spank? That has been a controversial decision faced by parents for many years. Many people believe that physical punishment is not the way to discipline one’s children. In fact‚ in a poll done by ABC News‚ two out of every three parents expressed their belief that spanking is a good way to punish children (Crandall‚ 2016). Spanking should be a part of all parenting styles because it is not child abuse. Children need to be held accountable for their actions‚ and even the Bible
