Visions of Childhood

1. Pick a TV show or movie that depicts childhood. What does it seem to be saying about the nature of being a kid? What "story" does it tell about childhood?

The TV show Full House is all about being a kid. I think it shows that childhood isn't always happy-go-lucky. There will always be bumps in the road and times where you need a friend. I think Full House depicts childhood very well but everyone might not be able to relate.

2. In the four stories we’ve read, how is childhood depicted? What similarities or differences are there? What are the authors saying about childhood? Do they get it “right?”

The four stories we read made children seem unaware of what was happening around them. I think children these days are smarter and know how to handle real life situations. The authors are saying that childhood is not what is is today. I believe that they didn't get it "right."

When I grew up...

A time when I believe I "grew up" was when I went to girl scout camp. It was the first time being away from home for a week and I was really scared at first. When I got to camp I realized that I was responsible for me and my things. Going to camp had such a positive impact on me that I decided to go to band camp where I had THE TIME OF MY LIFE.
