    Throughout the article, “The Jones Family’s Culture of Literacy,” by Amy Suzanne Johnson, one of the most interesting paragraphs to me appears before she even analyzes the family. The paragraph titled, “My Role as Researcher,” really stood out to me due to it’s unique nature due to her role as a researcher and her background.

I learned that as a researcher you need to unbiased no matter your background, and it’s good to address your own bias. She even stated the purpose of their interviews because she truly wanted to learn and to better understand their lives.…

    All though my teacher works with the children in groups, I would like to see and learn more ways to work with a student on developing their cognitive skills and language skills within a group. After observing J during work and play, I believe that she is typically developed in most aspects. I’m wondering how we know this for sure though. I’m still wondering how one diagnoses a child so young with cognitive disabilities or language disabilities.

    I feel that the “family” (Montag and Mildred) in Fahrenheit 451 was very divided. I think it’s mostly because of society's impact on their way of thinking; the society is really isolated and close minded.

Therefore, they believed that book burning would eliminate the outside influence on what families should look like. Society also thought of children like an accessory, not important to their way of life.…

When he went to kindergarten he was expected to know more than what I remember was required before.…
