In the eyes of adolescents like Holden, their elders are not necessarily their betters. They tend to see and understand the world around him with their eyes. The tattering of the authority figure finds its expression in the novel largely through an absent or vulnerable father, either physically or spiritually - sometimes both. In The Catcher in the Rye, Holden’s father is often an absentee.…

Favelas or shantytowns are inside and around large cities in Brazil, and homes are constructed with brick and cement.

Coben uses mostly unofficial stories to support his thesis. The authors reason to write the article was probably was probably due to a personal experience or the uproar in internet usage. Also i believe the intended audience is parents of kids who use the internet. I strongly disagree with Coben’s argument.…

    The issue with this case study is that the student has learned at home that it is okay to call adults "dude". This student continues to practice this behavior on a daily basis while at home. The student may be learning how to respect adults and authority figures at school, but he does not see that calling adults "dude" is a sign of disrespect. I see this as an issue because the student has not been taught that it may be okay to call his father dude, but not other adults or authority figures. This is showing a lack of parent and teacher team work!…

    Harlan Coben’s OpEd piece “The Undercover Parent” is a powerful piece written to convince parents that the benefits of spyware greatly outweigh the invasion of privacy. Throughout his essay, he maintains a friendly, parent-to-parent tone that one can compare to a conversation over coffee. As a college student without children, I found it difficult to understand the importance of monitoring children’s internet activities. However, when I forced myself to take on the perspective of a parent, I found Coben’s argument to be far more compelling, and found myself understanding the importance of spyware on computers that children have access to. In his article, Coben assumes that readers will have a negative response to the concept of spyware, but he uses his argument effectively to persuade the reader that spyware is not only harmless, but an asset in the toolbox of good parents.…
