The pressing question that everyone is trying so desperatly to think of an answer for is whether or not my generation is equipped and prepared for the demands and challanges of being an adult. Obviously there is no factual answer to this question, we will not know until adulthood finally sneaks up on my generation. I don't beleive that anyone ever feels truely ready for adulthood. It's a scary transition in everyone's life. I also believe nothing can truely prepare anyone for adulthood. Being an adult alway comes with it's own scary turns and twists for everyone, and there different for every individual. My generation is will be ready when adulthood comes. My generation will be able and inclinded citizens in their adulthood.

In the picture provided in Source C, the artwork shows parents in the 1960s yelling at their student for an F on a assignment. In the year 2010 history repeats itself, but this time the student and the parents together yell at the student's teacher. After analysing the cartoon, it is clear the it is making a statement on how parents are not giving their child the oppurtunithy to correct his mistakes as a student and grow and learn. I understand the article is a reflection on how kids in this generation will not be ready to handle responsibilities on their own after being carried by their parents through schooling. But all this reads to me is that generation after generation, people will fear that their children are not ready to be adults.

But that's been a fear for every parent of every generation. Each time a generation reaches adulthood, they do just fine with the childhood they were given. Children of every generation can grow up and be an adequate …show more content…
After rereading it, it highlights that idea sit around doing nothing and wasting their time. The point it tries to make is the kids watch their parents work hard while they worry about nothing and have no responsibilities. This quote from the poem, "Our parents moved vague amoung their great worries, remote as the imperatives of weather. And the stars arrive on schedule to run their dim, high errands again, leaving us lost in the boredom of our childhood, flipping our knives in the dust, waiting to find out how in this world we were going to be nessacary" is a prime example of the idea that kids are not ready to be adults. I think all this poem does is take away the creativitiy that every child posseses and paints them to be boring, dull, and empty. With that kind of mindset, children will never be able to reach their full potential and shine like the stars we are. What I take away from this poem is that adults critize us for our bad mistakes and choices in life rather than celebrating our accopleshment and our bright
