Comparison of The Little Boy Lost and The Little Boy Found
Comparison of The Little Boy Lost and The Little Boy Found The Little Boy Lost and The Little Boy Found are two poems that are quite different to each other, in the aspect of language used, themes and ideas, and imagery. I shall look at each poem in detail in this essay, along with the different ideas that I get from them. In The Little Boy Lost, the first stanza of the poem gives the reader images of a father ignoring, possibly abandoning his son and walking away from him. This stanza is written in first person, to show us how confused the boy is. The language the boy uses in the first stanza could tell us that his father is walking away from him completely out-of-the-blue, and he does not know what he has done and does not know why his father is leaving him. In the second stanza, we can truly see the effects of a little boy being lost. The images we get are of a young child, alone, with "no father there", and "wet with dew". And the language in the second stanza is the typical language describing a lost child, scared and crying. But, the "vapour" in line 4 of the second stanza could symbolise a lost and confused child going towards a light, trying anything to get out of the darkness, and the feeling of loneliness. However, in The Little Boy Found, we can tell from the title that this poem will be more optimistic and positive. In the first stanza, in the first two lines,
Effective Communication
Describe The Stages Of The Communication Cycle And Reflect On Your Own Experiences To Explain How The Cycle May Be Used To Communicate Difficult, Complex And Sensitive Issues (P2, M1) There are many ways of communicating with people such as speaking, and using sign language but to do so effectively requires a cycle. It s called the communication cycle for obvious reasons and like the ability to communicate it is innately built, individuals do it automatically. To carry out the cycle successfully two or more parties must be present. Communicating involves expression of thought and interpretation of the other parties understanding. There are six phases of the communication cycle, the first is expressing your own thoughts, the second is watching the other person non verbal response and body language. Thirdly is interpreting the other person's body language and trying to work out what he or she is thinking, next is listening to his or her response to what we have said, following this is trying to make sense of his or her response. Finally the original speaker expresses new ideas to try and clarify our ideas. For a simplified version see the diagram below (www.dyad.org) However using the communication cycle doesn't mean that it is correctly used all the time, sometimes people listen but they do not hear just what the other person is trying to discuss, to use the communication
The content of the website is based on teenage pregnancy and the effects it has on teenage mothers there is also a small part which is about family life. The information is structured in a way that everybody can read.
Title: Tackle everything Author: Naughtiest Neil Date: 15.08.03 Website: www.dooyoo.co.uk/discussion/teenage-pregnancy/423168 The website I used is reliable because the information is similar to other websites that I had researched. The content of the website is based on teenage pregnancy and the effects it has on teenage mothers there is also a small part which is about family life. The information is structured in a way that everybody can read. The language the website uses is formal because there isn't any slang language. The layout of the website is good because the information is put into paragraphs which make it easier for the reader to read and understand and lastly it doesn't make the reader get bored of the text. There wasn't a last update for the text because it was a review from someone. This website answered my first aim which was how far the education of a teenager affected by pregnancy? From what I found out it says that teenagers feel they are mature enough to deal with the act of sex, but they cannot fully appreciate the affects it may incur; however, they may well know what they are. From what I understood from the sentence is that education is affected by pregnancy because before a girl gets pregnant she doesn't think about the consequences she might face. The teenage mother cannot look after the baby and go to school at the same time. She needs to
The differences between the two stories “your shoes” and “the sons veto”.
Wide Reading Assignment I am going to be discussing points on the differences between the two stories "your shoes" and "the sons veto". The story "your shoes" is about a woman who is grieving her daughter who has ran away after a row. "The sons veto" is about a child that refuses his widowed mother to marry her child hood sweet heart. In "your shoes" the story is set in the form of a letter, from mother to daughter. This makes your shoes a 1st person story where as "the sons veto" is a third person narration so it seems like you're looking in on the story, not playing the part of a character. "Your shoes" is set entirely within a bed room because that is were the mother is meant to be writing the story, but in "the sons veto" some of the story is set in the countryside and some is set in the suburbs of London but both mothers are isolated in each story. In the sons veto the language used is very upper class and it uses a lot of correct English but in your shoes the language is archaic for example in "your shoes" line 4 it says "your not here any longer so how can I speak to you". But in "the sons veto" the writer uses very long sentences to describe what he sees, he also uses language that we would we would not use today. For example "her face was not easily describable, but the aforesaid cunning trees weavings, the white ear and poll, and the curve of a cheek which
Child development visit 2
Visit 2.. Name; Annabelle Age; 2 Years 10 Months Date of visit; 21st September 2008 Time of visit; 1:00 'til 2:15 Place; Annabelle's house People present; Annabelle's Mum Jen, Herself and Me Aims and planning; In this visit I aim to watch Annabelle manipulating play-dough using gross and fine motor skills. Also, I hope to see her make recognisable shapes with it. Another thing I hope to see during this visit is her commenting on what the shapes and colours of the play-dough are. Expectations; I expect that Annabelle will be able to make shapes with the cut-out equipment, and name all of them and the colours of the play-dough- Because, as stated in the Brennand and Hall book, someone Annabelle's age should be able to do this. I also expect to see her get more comfortable with playing along side me in parallel play. FAR Aims and Planning; FAR Expectations; Observations; When we got to Annabelle's house she was already at the door to greet me. When she recognised me she started jumping around in excitement and shouting 'Jodie, Jodie'. Then when I came into her house she called me into the kitchen to get a big red box-- containing all of her toys for my visits-- off of the fridge. After I got it we took it into the living room and I opened it. Then Annabelle was ecstatic at what she was seeing in the box. She started to get out some stickers and crayons and

'To what extent do research studies support the view that maternal deprivation can have long term effects on individuals?'
Maddy Haynes 1st November 2002 'To what extent do research studies support the view that maternal deprivation can have long term effects on individuals?' Maternal deprivation is when the child is deprived of love from the primary caregiver (i.e. the mother) in the early stages of development. This essay will examine the latter effects of bond disruption, and the studies that have been carried out to support it. Early attachments by the primary caregiver are important in the child's latter life. This is supported by a study carried out in 1944 by Bowlby. The participants were patients of the child guidance clinic, half of which were referred to the clinic for stealing, whilst the other half because they were emotionally maladjusted. Some of the 'thieves' were diagnosed as 'affectionless psychopaths'; none of the emotionally maladjusted were. The results from this study are significant, 86% of those diagnosed as 'affectionless psychopaths' had experienced early and prolonged separations from their mothers, whereas very few of the non-psychopathic thieves had experienced such separations. The results exemplify that children are affected by bond disruption in early development. Bowlby later in 1952 drew up the 'Maternal deprivation hypothesis' acknowledging the results he had found earlier. In this hypothesis, Bowlby focuses on the effects of deprivation and the needs of a
Food and Health in schools
. Directed writing: booklet page 40. 2. 3. 4. Nowadays Couch potato teenagers are seen more frequently. Why would you think this happen?. The one to blame firstly is the school. 5. 6. At schools, including Longwood high school, there has been an increase of overweight students due to the food they eat at break time and at dinner at school. This happens because the unhealthy options they offer, their prices and the low physical exercise. 7. 8. At break time… 9. Sweets, crisps, sugary drinks, chocolate biscuits, muffins, and many others are the most chosen options from the vending machine at break time. And the healthy options as yoghurt are twice the price as a extra large sweet chocolate muffin, that becomes addictive because of the amount of sugar that it has. “the sugary foods are necessary for the body but in great amounts it is detrimental to our health unless a great physical exercise is made.” Dr. Montgomery, teenagers’ specialist. 0. 11. At lunchtime… 2. The main diet of pupils that buy their food at school consists in burger and chips, pizza and chips, or just chips. 98% of the students eat chips for their meal!!! Most food sold at school is limited and pre-cooked. 3. There’s also the people who brings school their lunch, the great majority eat white bread sandwiches, salty crisps and a chocolate bar or cake, and a fruit juice and afterwards
What evidence can you find in the Gladstone pottery that supports the written descriptors of the work of a mould runner.
What evidence can you find in the Gladstone pottery That supports the written descriptors of The work of a mould runner. The mould runners' job was to take an empty mould to his 'master' and return it when full. The mould runner was usually a young boy or sometimes a young girl. One way in which Gladstone and the sources disagree is about wages. An example of this is that source A states that on average most factories paid a child working as a mould runner at an age of nine or ten 2s or 2s6d. Gladstone pottery stated that it paid on average 6s2d to each child, source C also disagrees with Gladstone's statement and states that a child of 11 years got paid 3s 3d a week. Another way in which the sources and Gladstone disagree is the hours of work. The mould runners at Gladstone only worked a ten hour day, while in other factories they would sometimes be working a fourteen hour day, source C states that mould runners would work on an average of 11 and a half hours a day, source C states that mould runners would work 12 hours on a average day both of theses sources are not far off the average hours of work stated at Gladstone but these sources do disagree with Gladstone's statement. One way in which Gladstone and the sources disagree is the treatment of the mould runners. On a notice board at Gladstone it read 'a young boy said "we suffered little ill treatment"'. In the
Who is my neighbour
Who is my neighbour? Madame Chairperson, the adjudicating panel and friends, Good Morning. Who is my neighbour? Who is your neighbour, may I ask? Do you have the slightest clue as to who lives so close beside you, the person who is only a stone's throw away? I apologize for greeting you so early this morning with such probing questions. But do you have the answer? I think not. Gone are the days when a person, new to the area, would open the door to friendly faces often accompanied by the aroma of a freshly baked pie to welcome this newcomer. Gone are the days when one would pop next door to borrow a cup of sugar in the early morning in one's dressing gown. No, such days of ease around our neighbours are truly gone. Instead of leaving our doors open to the world, we firmly lock them, keeping our children inside, refusing to let them play after a certain hour, wondering if it's safe to let them play with the "new family". Of course we would know if it was safe if we actually got to know this family - but do we take the time to? O f course not. We're too busy living our fast-paced greedy self-centred little lives. Just listen to my story of old Joe McElligot. A seventy-five year old bachelor, living alone in a cottage in a fairly populous rural community. One Sunday afternoon, as he was listening to a hurling match on the local radio station, a gang of masked youths broke into
