A Fabulous Child's Story Analysis

Decent Essays
A Fabulous Child’s Story is about a child named X who is born for an experiment. The experiment is for two parents to raise a child where no one including the child knew whether it was a boy or girl; the cost of raising baby X was 23 billion dollars and 72 cents. The reason this experiment was done was to show whether or not male and female characteristics are developed genetically or external; nature or nurture. Baby X was raised as a happy and healthy child who was allowed to do everything that both boys and girls do. It didn’t matter whether if boys were suppose to play football or girls were only suppose to bake cakes, X was raised to know no differences and did

    My early freshman and sophomore days were spent with one hand over my mouth and a tight-lipped smile. I was trying to hide a part of me that was so integral to my individualism: my age. People told me my smile gave it away; I was almost two years younger than most people in my class. I had started school early, skipped seventh grade, and was ahead in math leaving me to be the youngest person in almost every social setting. Whether the answer was 12 or 15, it was almost always a surprise to people.…

    The beginning of Chapter 3 lays out the three main factors that are associated with the relationship between exceptional parents and the classroom. These parents over the years have provided many beneficial changes because they would advocate for their children 's’ disabilities. Educators also seek parental involvement because studies show that a student’s grades tend to improve when the parents are actively involved with helping their student academically at home.

    Child Reflective Essay

    From my current placement I have experience of working with a child going through this transition, this had a very big effect on the child holistically. It became obvious to me that the child was very worried and unsettled about this transition as we noticed a negative change in the child's behaviour as he started becoming aggressive to other children and started a tendency to play alone and withdraw himself from the class. There was also a significant decrease in his school work performance as he was very withdrawn and found it difficult to communicate with the other children and sometimes staff. Working within the multi-agency team we introduced this child to an advocate which acted as a professional friend and from this we saw a slight improvement in the child's holistic development and behaviour. When working within the school team, we were part of the multi-agency team who contributed to…

    In the article by Louis Gould, Baby X, the parents have agreed to be a part of a very expensive experiment where they have to keep the identity of the child a secret. They were given guidelines on how to deal with difficult situations and how to play with X. While the adults at the school were reacting to this experiment with extreme hostility, the peers of X began to imitate how it dressed and played with others. In the article, the author says how the "parents held an emergency meeting to discuss "the X problem" (Baby X, 3). The parents in the article assumed that not publicly identifying oneself as a boy or girl means that child is a bad influence. This article relates to the Gaga Feminism book because it discusses the roles of gender norms and how men and women act when the society is aware of what sex…

    The Child Narrator After reading the article Child Narrators, I found it to be quite enlightening as both a reader and a writer. Several of the concepts in the article were very interesting. One passage that evoked a high interest was about the inconvenient truths uncensored. According to the passage “A child narrator can, among other things, create a degree of distance between the adult author and his or her message that serves to lessen hostility to that message… Readers tend to be more accepting of a child rather than an adult who gives voice to certain uncomfortable truths.”…

    Children literature includes books, magazines, stories and poems that children enjoy. It can be traced to stories and songs which were part of the oral tradition that adults shared with their children before the advent of publication. The development of children literature is difficult to trace. However, from the 15th century AD, a large volume of literature, often with a religious or moral message, has been targeted specifically at children. Many of the children books acknowledged today as classics can trace their origins to the late 19th and early 20th centuries which become known as the Golden Age of children literature.…
