Children's story analysis: Goldi Locks And The Three Bears What would you do if a stranger broke into your house and broke all of your belongings? Well, that is what happened in this childhood story Goldie Locks and the Three Bears, in the woods a young girl with golden hair broke into the three bears' home and began to break and ruin the three bears' belongings because she was on a mission to find the just right spot. But even for a children's story, it was able to betray good themes and morals, and I'm going to talk about how the book was able to betray this through its writing. During this story, Goldie's character development is not great, but maybe that's a good thing. The Prindle Institute for Ethics states, “The second philosophical discussion surrounds …show more content…
And even at the end of the book, she escapes with no consequences. Now during this entire book she had not one ounce of remorse or even thought that what she was doing was wrong, and as such there is no character development. But because of this, it teaches kids morals on how this is not good behavior and empathy if you teach it right. What would you like if a girl broke into your house and destroyed your belongings? No one would and this story teaches a kid about how not to be selfish, through Goldi not developing as a character. In fact, there is a big overarching theme in this book: Ethical education states “The theme of the story is Think about how your actions might hurt others”(Brett). How this is shown throughout the book is when the bears come home they show distress to the state they find their house in. When checking out their broken belongings, Baby Bear is shown to whine and almost cry. This teaches kids to think about their actions and how it affects people around them. In addition, this story has a complex narrative
Good literary text can communicate messages more powerfully than good informative text. 2 different texts, Moon Bear Rescue by Kim Dale, and the brochure Southern Asian Moon Bears, are chosen to represent in the argument between literary and informative. Both books are similarly capable of delivering a message, but which is more powerful? Informative clearly states the facts and provide consecutive information; raises awareness for the objective, i.e. Moon Bears, whereas the literary tends to tell more of a story, perhaps information, adapted to entertain the reader, and sometimes, to educate. Because of this, I feel that the literary is much more capable of providing a powerful message, mostly informative text lacks the friendly and heart-warming story that the literary text provides.
“‘What is that?’ she asked. ‘An old wallet of mine,’ he said. He showed it to her. The smell of hot grass was on it...and the smell of a lion.” Previously, both of the parents, Lydia and George, were exploring hot Africa and viewing the lions eating something that seemed to be meat related. After Wendy had “possibly” changed the scenery to Rima with beautiful greenery, but George found an object, his wallet, in the corner of where the lions were. A bit later in the story, “The Veldt” George tells Wendy and Peter to go to bed as they had lied and changed the African Veldt scenery to something else. Lydia and George lay in their bed and discuss that the kids are quite unbearable that, “they treat us as if were the children in the family.” As they discuss the children being explicitly spoiled, and disrespectful, they hear screams a moment later. “Two screams. Two people screaming from downstairs. And then a roar of lions.” George and Lydia then both agree that the children are not in their rooms and broke into the nursery. Both of these citations relate to the foreshadowing in the plot, and relates to the fact that people rely too much on technology. The children specifically rely too much on the nursery and go to as far as breaking into it after going against their father’s wishes. The quotes/in-text citations further the context of the story by developing the theme, “‘people rely too much on technology to assist their daily lives.’” These quotes set an uneasy feeling, as if the reader is expecting for something to happen, as if the quotes are foreshadowing a possible ending of maybe the parents meeting some kind of terrible fate. For me, at least, this spikes my interest and I’m see interested to how the story ended as I read through it. In addition, I felt unnerved as if an unknowing trouble was about to rise out of the ashes. Similarly, Ray Bradbury uses dialogue to
Diane Glancy is an award winning American author. She grew up in Kansas City, Missouri, in a part Cherokee household which is what inspires her interest in teaching and writing about the Native American heritage. Glancy is from Native American descent and is also a Christian. Glancy is known for her ability to incorporate both genres into her writings. In Glany’s 1996 novel, Pushing the Bear, Glancy uses a historical novel to depict the journey of the Native American’s that walked the trail of tears. The two main characters of this novel are Maritole and Knobowtee. They are a married Cherokee couple from North Carolina. Not only does the Trail of Tears take a toll on them physically, but the trail puts their relationship to the test. Through the marriage of Knobowtee and Maritole, Glancy shows the
... show the easy manipulation of children. The main message of the Children’s Story tells us that the unawareness of children and adults makes it easy to control and influence thoughts and beliefs.

grizzly bears prefered habitat is deserted rivers, wild mountains, and thick and dense forest. Grizzly bears are majestic symbols of the wild. Bears live in and use a variety of habitat types, playing important roles in each one. This makes them an “umbrella species,” meaning that when we protect them and their habitat we also protect many species. Grizzly bears can also help ecosystems by distributing seeds and nutrients through their scat, and occasionally regulating ungulate populations.
In the story the children are so used to getting what they want that when they are told no they become very livid and act out. Bradbury states “We’ve given the children everything they ever wanted. Is this our reward, secrecy, disobedience?” (Bradbury 8). This shows that the kids no longer have a care to listen to their parents. Bradbury also says “The two children were in hysterics. They screamed and pranced and threw things. They yelled and sobbed and swore and jumped at the furniture.”(Bradbury 13). This illustrates how enraged the children were that the parents were turning off the house. The surprise at the end of the story shows that the kids have become ungrateful of everything they own and have been given when they became livid when they were told they couldn’t have what they wanted and that things were going to need to change. Through illustrating the anger and disobedience of the kids this shows that the children lack discipline in their
The story identifies three characters; Sylvia, Sugar and a black woman Ms. Moore. Initially, Sylvia does not like Miss Moore as she believed she prevented children from having fun but in reality Miss Moore wanted to show them the real side of the life. So she organized a trip to F.A.O Schwartz. As the story develops the reader gets a glimpse of Sylvia “street smarts” and leadership role as they traveled to toy store in a cab. The group horses around the taxi while Sylvia is scheming a way to keep the money for herself. Miss Moore is aware of this when she gives them the money, lending the reader to believe this is all part of the lesson of the day. By doing this she is showing the children the value of money and work. When they arrive at store the lesson continues as they gawk at the toys in the window and find it hard to comprehend what kind of people have this kind of money to throw away on toys. The turning point occurs when Sylvia’s best friend, Sugar, questions Miss Moore about the fairness of people spending the same amount of money on a toy that some families would use for basic survival needs. This leads to climax where Sylvia confesses, “And something weird is goin on, I can feel it in my chest.” (Bambara, 653). this shows Sylvia’s feeling of betrayal by her friend along with the realization that she is right. The denouement is the last line of the story where she states , “but ain’t nobody gonna beat me at
The first six years of a child’s life is a window of opportunity when a child unquestionably accepts the virtues modeled by his or her parents (“8 Ways to Raise a Moral Child | Ask Dr. Sears”). In their first few years, children believe that their behaviors are right or wrong according to what a parent tells them. By five years old, a child begins to adopt their parent’s values, whether they are noble or not. Merseault’s childhoo...
“Into the Wild” by Jon Krakauer, is a very noteworthy story of a young man, Christopher McCandless, who tragically ventures alone into the wilderness. It should be pointed out that the story is quite original and the main character is full of contradictions. At any rate, it is quite difficult to understand his real motives that influenced his decision to abandon the civilized world and head for the wilderness where he turned to be unable to survive. This is why it is very important to define the major factors that forced the main character to take the fatal decision.
When the boy has finally become wise enough to confront the Bear, he realizes that what the Bear stands for is far more important than his killing of the Bear ever could be. He realizes that anyone could attack the Bear and kill it, but in the restraint of the boyhood urge for glory and respect he finds that he has preserved these virtues in himself and the Bear as well.
As far as adults are concerned, children are innocent. Adults look back into childhood along with their experiences and maturity, which as a result brings out the most common assumptions of childhood: innocence and experience. According to adults, children are pure, and inexperienced, which in fact is debatable. Philip Pullman’s novel, the Golden Compass, is an excellent representation of childhood innocence and experience. This essay will explain how innocence and experience are perceived in “the Golden Compass” as well as the comparison between adults and children.
... will be greatly affected. In Lawrence’s The Rocking Horse Winner, Paul’s upbringing is greatly influenced by his mother. Paul is raised to believe that materialistic possessions are needed to maintain happiness. Golding’s Lord of the Flies demonstrates that without adult supervision, children are naturally inclined to be evil. There are no rules implemented in the novel and as a result, the children stray away from the expected behaviors of society. Although both works view children differently, both works prove that children create their own downfall as a result of trying to create the perfect society.
“But then,' thought Alice. 'shall I never get any older than I am now? That'll be a comfort, one way--never to be an old woman--but then--always to have lessons to learn! Oh, I shouldn’t like that!” (Carroll, 1993 p 21). Did Alice want to grow up? No, but she was not willing to go through the struggles during the concrete and formal operation stages of emotional maturity. Authors and movie directors have long used children characters and actors to portray these inevitable childhood developmental stages of emotional maturity, one of which is the disobedience stage. This paper will discuss several evidence of disobedience by children characters. Sometimes the child's behavior in the story is obviously a disobedient behavior but sometimes you will need to analyze the story to identify points of disobedience displayed by a child character.
Nothing quite as it seems in the novel Frankenstein. Mary Shelley expressively portrays the subject, whose looks can be deceiving. The ugly creature represents both the uncertainty of human nature and the danger of drawing conclusions about ethical issues based on appearances. Horrible to behold, in its first apparent manifestation, the body of the monster unexpectedly goes on to exhibit virtues such as kindness, sympathy, and an identity misrecognized by society. The monster is an ugly creature on the outer, but he stays compassionate, kindhearted and remains misunderstood by his external appearance.
