Development from conception to age 16.
Unit 2 - Development from Conception to Age 16 Years E1 Social development is learning the skills to communicate with other people becoming independent and learning to do things on their own as they get older. Emotional development is the growth of feelings and the ability to express and control your feelings; it is also about developing your self esteem/self image. Children go through all different stages of development. In the very first year the child's first relationship is with the mother, who they make an instant connection with and then perhaps with the father because in the first year children only form a bond with the immediate family and maybe with others such as grandparents, aunties or uncles, depending on their location and the frequency of their visits, and also it depends on their social background. At around 8 months they also develop a fear of strangers, they show this by getting really upset. At 15 months children are very changeable in their emotions and can be unstable, for example throwing toys when angry. They tend to show off but do not react very well to getting told off. They can also help dress and undress themselves. At 2 years children have temper tantrums over little things, also making choices can prove very difficult for children at this stage because they want it both ways, and they enjoy doing household tasks and imitating adults, for
How important are Chapters two and three in establishing characters and tension in Dracula
How important are Chapters two and three in establishing characters and tension in Dracula Dracula was written in 1897 by Irish Novelist Bram Stoker, Other Novels written Pre - 1940 included; The Invisible Man by H.G Wells (1866 - 1966), Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde by Robert Louise Stevenson ( 1850 - 1894), Dr Frankenstein and the Monster by Mary Shelly ( 1797 - 1851) and Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde(1854 - 1900). These Novels covered important issues and theme which were normally not mentioned in other Victorian Novels. Themes covered in Dracula are Science, Life, Death, Evil, Paranormal Creatures, Duality of Human beings (how people are made up of good aspects and evil aspects) and blonde women would often be good and brunette women bad in Victorian Novels. However Bram Stoker uses innuendos like kiss which really mean bite and the way he describes three female vampires at the end of chapter three is quite sexual for example "burning desires", "languorous ecstasy" and "voluptuous lips". This makes Dracula unusual and different from the other Novels as sex was considered rude to mention in Victorian times however Bram Stoker was clever and doesn't directly mention it but allows the reader to think of it. Yet nowadays it has become popular and glamorous for books and films to have "sexy vampires". One book series that has done this very well is the Twilight Saga by Stephenie Meyer
Compare the two chapters which describe the creation of Frankenstein(TM)s monster.
Compare the two chapters which describe the creation of Frankenstein's monster. Why does Mary Shelley give us both points of view? Mary Shelley began writing Frankenstein; or the Modern Prometheus in the year of 1816 during the early phase of the industrial revolution. The anecdote of scientific discovery was first emancipated to the public in 1818. After thorough reading of the gothic novel I will pen an essay analysing the similarities and differences of two chapters (5 and 11) which describe the creation of the monster. My essay will include a conclusion as to why Shelley gives her readers both points of view. The novels subtitle 'The Modern Prometheus' is a reference to Greek mythology. Prometheus in one version was the titan who created mankind (which Victor attempts to do in Shelley's novel). In another version Prometheus was viciously punished by Zeus for providing man with fire. Prometheus was fastened to a rock where his liver would be continually devoured by a predatory bird. Both could be related to Shelley's novel and throughout my essay I will prove this. Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley was born in 1797 in the tow of Somers, in Great Britain. Her mother Mary Wollstonecraft (author and feminist) unfortunately died as the result of Mary's birth. Her father and resented stepmother cared for her. In the year 1813 Mary Shelley's luck changed; she met a poet by the
Discuss Nick Hornby s presentation of Marcus in chapters 1-10 of About a Boy
Discuss Nick Hornby s presentation of Marcus in chapters 1-10 of 'About a Boy' Nick Hornby's novel, 'About a boy' is a story about two boys. A 12 year old, named Marcus, who has a suicidal mother. And a 36 year old child-like-man called Will Freeman. Will, has never worked in his life, he was been living of the royalties of a song that his father had wrote for Christmas, over 70 years ago. Marcus is very much a 'mummy's boy.' He is so close to his mother that his taste in music and clothes are identical. When he starts his new school, he realises that he is an easy target for bullies as his hair is cut 'dodgy' by his mum and he has a tendency to sing aloud in class.... When we see Marcus in chapter one, we see a naive teenager. On the very first page of the book, Marcus' mum Fiona suffers from a break up. "Have you spilt up now?" This very quote shows the naivete of Marcus. This childish questions, suggest that Marcus has not developed any level of maturity and has no means of comforting his mother. However, with this in mind, Marcus has a very logical way of thinking, and there are there are two valid reasons for this bold statement. When we do see the break up incident, Marcus realises that when people begin to do things together (almost like a family) they should gel and stay together. "He'd once shared a toilet with Roger, when they were both busting for a pee after a
How is Heathcliff's relationship with Hindley portrayed in chapters one to ten of Wuthering Heights?
Wuthering Heights Question How is Heathcliff's relationship with Hindley portrayed in chapters one to ten of Wuthering Heights? Answer Heathcliff's relationship with Hindley is portrayed using a number of techniques. The author uses a frame narration. This is where Lockwood, the narrator, is repeating the words of Nelly, who is telling the story to Lockwood. The author also uses Lockwood reading Cathy's diary to tell part of the story. These techniques add variety to the story and also reveal it gradually to the reader. Heathcliff and Hindley have always had a relationship of hatred and jealousy. Hindley's dislike of Heathcliff stems from the fact that his father adopted the orphan Heathcliff and he felt that he had stolen his father's affection. Heathcliff's dislike of Hindley originates from the ill treatment that he receives from Hindley, almost from the moment that he enters the household. When Heathcliff and Hindley meet for the first time in Chapter Four, there is hatred between them. This is due to the fact that Hindley's father, Mr Earnshaw, had promised Hindley a fiddle when he visits Liverpool, but on his return the fiddle had been crushed due to the distraction of Heathcliff which causes both Hindley and Cathy to take an immediate dislike to Heathcliff and 'they entirely refused to have it in bed with them'. This shows that Cathy and Hindley don't want
Look at the first four chapters of 1984. How has Orwell introduced the key concepts of memory, power, and control?
English h/w for 29.9.06 Mr. Jenkins Look at the first four chapters of 1984. How has Orwell introduced the key concepts of memory, power, and control? In chapter one Orwell introduces the idea of memory, power, and control almost from the first line. The book opens with Winston making his way home from work, even from the first page we can tell that Orwell wants us to experience some kind of extreme political force that is at work that we don't know about yet. We can tell this because as soon as he gets through the flats he is greeted by a poster of who we later learn to be big brother. Underneath the poster reads the party slogan 'Big Brother is watching you' and Orwell also adds that the posters eyes seem to follow you wherever you go. This conveys, already a sense to the reader that there is some deep political force at work here, one that has a lot of propaganda and therefore power and control. Almost directly after this we are introduced to a device called the telescreen, which only enhances our idea of the control and power of people's lives that big brother has on them. The fact that the telescreen can never be shutoff also adds to that as though whether you like it or not the political forces can always watch you. Also the idea of thought crime we are introduced to. This is where by thinking 'unclean' thoughts' you are erased. This is where Orwell introduces us to
Assess the contribution of feminist perspective to an understanding of modern family life ( 20 marks)
Assess the contribution of feminist perspective to an understanding of modern family life (20 marks) In this essay I will attempt to analyse three areas of feminism and apply it to the modern family life. Each area of feminism has different views on what or who has caused the oppression of women and why. The definition of feminism is a doctrine that advocates equal rights for women. Feminism is often considered to be a paradigm shift which is a major change in the way society forms its values and beliefs. The nuclear family which the government strives for is 'advertised' by its political, ideological and religious expectations. The nuclear family was the typical family in the post-war period was known as the 'golden period' where the mother stays at home to look after the children and the father goes out to work. These were very segregated roles where the male acted as the instrumental role and female the expressive role. To begin with liberal feminists blame society for the oppression and exploitation of women and began to be popular in the 1950's and 60's when civil rights movements were taking place. The idea behind liberal feminism is that blame is not put on structures and institutions within society, such as agencies of socialisation e.g. religion, education and family but rather with the cultures and attitudes of the people in it. They look at the oppression of
The heights of 16-18 year old young adults varies between males and females. My prediction is that the majority of males are taller than females.
Statistics coursework S1 Task A: Measurements The heights of 16-18 young adults varies between males and females. My prediction is that the majority of males are taller than females. I have decided to take a sample of 100 16-18 young adults from Havering Sixth Form College and measure their heights with a tape measure. My two populations will be male and females and I will obtain 50 male heights and 50 female heights. I have chosen to take a sample of 100 because small sample sizes may give inaccurate results whereas a larger sample size may be impractical and time consuming. Therefore I feel a sample size of 100 will give a efficient set of results and a meaningful conclusion could be deduced. To insure that the data I collected wasn't biased I didn't look at each persons height to ensure that the data I collected was even for both populations and within both populations. Also because height isn't affected by whether you are athletic or not or whether you eat lots or who you are friends with, the data I collected cant be bias for that aspect of my data collection and also I didn't collect my data at a modeling studio, of which nearly everyone there would be over 6ft and would make my data collection bias and unfair. So overall the data I collected wasn't bias and was accurate to use for my investigation. I decided to investigate the difference in heights between

'So where does love come in? It's not strictly necessary, is it?' What are Barnes' views of the role of love in history and in this novel? [A History Of The World In 10 1/2 Chapters]
'So where does love come in? It's not strictly necessary, is it?' What are Barnes' views of the role of love in history and in this novel? In this novel, Barnes makes little reference to love in any of the 'main' chapters of the novel, however he explores the concept in some depth in the 'parenthesis' chapter. He seems to display very confused and contradictory views of love, his opinion oscillating wildly as the chapter progresses. Julian Barnes, at the beginning of the chapter, starts to ponder on the necessity of love. He begins by listing various languages' words for 'I love you', and muses upon the concept of tribes without words for the saying. 'Or have they all died out?' he wonders. This seems to be idle thought, in which Barnes merely hypothesises that, perhaps, without love humanity cannot survive. However, he later expands upon and contradicts this idea. 'Our love does not help us survive... Yet it gives us our individuality, our purpose.' States Barnes. It is perhaps worth noting the conclusive tone evident in this phrase; here, he doesn't pose a question, but instead offers an answer. This appears to imply that he has a certain confidence in his answer, that he has reached a personal conclusion in his mind. Therefore, one can read into it that Barnes decisively views love ass being superfluous to survival in practical terms, but is necessary to make us

FRAKENSTEIN. ENGLISH COURSEWORK Look at the significance of Chapter 5 to the novel as a whole. Focus on the relevance and effect of writer�s use of language to describe setting, character and what it shows about social and historical influences. The novel Frankenstein was created by a woman named Mary Shelley. She made up the tale when telling ghost stories with her family, who later told her she should publish the story because it was good.
