According to Professor Heather Paxson (2006) of MIT, gender refers to the characteristics that differentiate men and women’s behaviors and it includes value judgments connected to masculinity and femininity and everything in between. However, as one learns more and more about gender, they question the necessity of gender and even its existence. In the piece X: A Fabulous Child’s Story by Lois Gould (1978 or 2006) gender is portrayed as unimportant in order to have a good life; gender doesn’t matter. It shows that people have a need to categorize everything into groups because if they don’t, the unknown lingers in their minds and they fear it.

In both articles, “What’s it like to be a kid in the White House? Kids have a lot of ideas” by Caitlin Gibson and “Is it tough being a kid? Try being a president’s kid” by Darlene Superville, the authors present what it is like to be a president’s child and to live in the White House. I believe the article “What’s it like to be a kid in the White House? Kids have a lot of ideas”, portrays the life of a president’s child more accurately because the article incorporates what ordinary ten-year-olds think. One can imagine what ten-year-old Barron Trump might be going through. The article illustrates the children’s imaginations, ideas and suggestions about life for the youngest Trump child and living in the White House. This is proven when the article states, “What kids think: One downside is there’s probably a lot of pressure on a first kid to behave properly at all times, the surveyed 10-year-olds agreed… What it’s really like: First kids definately face pressure to behave a certain way--- and when they don’t, it does tend to draw attention...”(Gibson…
There are many additional components that parents provide that help to give their children more resources than others classes. The separation between class amongst the upper-class families and the middle-class families. There are three major key aspects that present a clear difference between class, cultural capital, and the field. In Lareau book “Unequal Childhoods” she studies many different family situations. In her research of middle and upper-class families, she describes how there is a cycle starting from parents to class to children’s evolvement opportunity. She argues that class, race, and families lives have everything to do with your placement.…
In Kate Chopin’s “The Storm,” both the plot and the setting of the story help support each other. Chopin was gifted in her use of the setting to strengthen the plot symbolically; in doing so she created a powerful atmosphere. The atmosphere created by Chopin’s style of writing gave “The Strom” a sense of excitement that raised the temperature of the reader’s blood and kept them turning the page for more.…

In The Disappearance of Childhood, Postman uses historical perspectives to convey the notion of childhood. Postman argues that the notion of childhood is a modern phenomenon and childhood is a social construct that has disappeared and reappeared throughout the history. Postman argues that childhood is disappearing and gives an example that the game “hide and seek” was widely played among the children two hundred years ago, however it is hardly played among children nowadays. Also, the line of physical appearance between adults and children is now getting ambiguous.When Erasmus suggested that children and adults should dress differently in eighteenth century, the idea was widely accepted.…

I was a 6 year old boy who was always looking for trouble and something to do, along-side me was my brain storming twin brother and together we cause all sorts of chaos and would get scolded all the time and never listened.…
If there exists only one truth in this world than it’s the fact that there are no days like childhood. Childhood is the best phase of everyone’s life. The good thing about those days is we are immature. Immature to truly understand the world, immature to understand relationships. Perhaps one chocolate is more than enough to make someone our friend. When some one asks us to choose between a hundred rupee note and few iron coins, the child in us shall always choose the iron coins. We have been given extraordinary power of weeping that is sufficient to melt anyone’s heart.…
